IntroductionFor many people with type 1 diabetes who struggle to achieve glycaemic control with multiple daily injections of insulin (MDI) plus self-monitoring of blood glucose, MDI plus intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (IS-CGM) or real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM), or insulin administration using insulin pump therapy represent optimised care in many regions. Through technological advances an advanced hybrid closed loop (AHCL) system has been developed; studies of incremental effects relative to MDI plus IS-CGM are lacking.Methods and analysisThe Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop study in Adult Population with Type 1 Diabetes (ADAPT) study is a multinational, prospective, open-label, confirmatory and exploratory randomised controlled trial to examine outcomes with the MiniMed 670G version 4.0 AHCL system (with an equivalent algorithm and commercialised as the MiniMed 780G system, referred to as AHCL) relative to MDI plus IS-CGM in adults with baseline HbA1c≥8.0%. An exploratory cohort will compare AHCL with MDI plus RT-CGM. The study will be conducted in approximately 124 adults on MDI plus either IS-CGM or RT-CGM for at least 3 months prior to screening. The primary endpoint will be the difference in mean HbA1c change from baseline to 6 months between the AHCL and the MDI plus IS-CGM arms. Secondary endpoints will include proportion of time spent in hypoglycaemic, euglycaemic and hyperglycaemic ranges.Ethics and disseminationThe ADAPT study will be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Declaration of Helsinki and local laws and regulations, and has been approved by ethics committees. The trial will provide valuable information on the incremental benefits that may be provided by AHCL for patients failing to achieve glycaemic targets on MDI plus IS-CGM or RT-CGM and form a basis for health economic evaluations to support market access.Trial registration numberNCT04235504; Pre-results.
Background: This analysis from the SMILE randomized study was performed to identify predictive factors associated with the greatest reductions in hypoglycemia with the Medtronic MiniMedÔ 640G Suspend before low feature in adults with type 1 diabetes at high risk of severe hypoglycemia. Methods: Clinical and treatment-related factors associated with decreased sensor hypoglycemia (SH) were identified in participants from the intervention arm by univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: The reduction in SH events <54 mg/dL (<3.0 mmol/L) in the intervention group was significantly (P < 0.0001) associated with the baseline mean number of sensor hypoglycemic events (MNSHE) <54 mg/dL. When excluding continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) factors not readily available (MNSHE, duration of SH events, area under the curve, mean amplitude of glycemic excursions), only the baseline mean time spent <54 mg/dL was found to be a significant independent predictor factor (P < 0.0001). Baseline HbA1 c , mean selfmonitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), and coefficient of variation of SMBG were significant, although weak, predictors in the absence of any CGM data. Conclusions: The greatest reductions in SH events achieved with the MiniMed 640G system with the Suspend before low feature were seen in participants with higher baseline MNSHE. Measuring these (usually uncollected) events can be a useful tool to predict hypoglycemia reduction. ClinicalTrials.gov Registration Identifier NCT02733991.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
