Control-IQ Technology 2.0 Adult and Adolescent Feasibility Study

A Control-IQ Technology 2.0 Feasibility Study in Adult and Adolescent Subjects

The purpose of this study is to obtain preliminary safety and performance data on planned improvements to Control-IQ technology.

This feasibility study is a prospective, single arm, single center study with a run-in phase, followed by a 48-hour supervised phase, followed by a 4-week at home study with sequential interventions (new feature use). Approximately 30 subjects, both male and female, aged 14 and up, will participate in the study, using new features each week with the t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control-IQ technology.

The first 5 subjects in the study will complete a 48 hour session with multiple challenges during use of Control-IQ technology 2.0, before moving on the outpatient portion of the trial.

• Not pregnant or planning a pregnancy during the time period of the study

• Using only Humalog U-100 or Novolog U-100 insulin

• ICR and ISF optimized per investigator judgement

• Has current glucagon product to treat severe hypoglycemia (injectable or nasal) at home (will provide prescription if they do not have one)

• Willing to:

  1. Share Dexcom G6 CGM data with study staff and Tandem
