Tandem PLGS Pivotal Trial: A Randomized Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy of Predictive Low Glucose Suspend Versus Sensor-augmented Pump Therapy in the Management of Type 1 Diabetes
Tandem PLGS Pivotal Trial: A Randomized Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy of Predictive Low Glucose Suspend Versus Sensor-augmented Pump Therapy in the Management of Type 1 Diabetes
A 6-week crossover study will compare PLGS to SAP outcomes in adults and youth > 6 years old with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Screening and Enrollment
CGM and (Sensor Augmented Pump) SAP Training Period at Home All eligible participants will be assessed based on their CGM and pump experience to determine if the CGM Training Period, the SAP Training Period, or both are required.
i. The Tandem SAP pump will be used during the SAP Training Period and pump training will be customized based on prior pump experience
PLGS Pilot Phase Prior to the initiation of the crossover trial, 10 adult participants will use the Tandem PLGS pump and CGM system in a 10-day Pilot Period. Data will be evaluated for system usability and predetermined safety metrics before participants ≥12 years old can be randomized into the crossover trial.
Randomized Crossover Trial The crossover trial will begin after the data from the Pilot Period have been reviewed. Enrollment of participants 6 to 11 years old will be deferred until data from 100 post-randomization PLGS participant-days have been evaluated from participants 12 to 17 years old and the same predetermined safety metrics used to evaluate the Pilot Period have been satisfied.
At the Crossover Trial initiation visit, the following will be done:
During each of the two 3-week periods, a phone, email, or text contact will occur at 2 and 14 days, and a clinic visit at 7 and 21 days. HbA1c will be measured at the end of each period.
