Utilizing Continuous Ketone Monitors to Enable Safe Use of SGLT Inhibitors in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes
Utilizing Continuous Ketone Monitors to Enable Safe Use of SGLT Inhibitors in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes
This research study is being conducted to learn if wearing a combination continuous glucose monitor/continuous ketone monitor (CGM/CKM) can reduce the side effects of taking sotagliflozin (study drug) in people with type 1 diabetes.
The study is a phase 3, single-site, double-blind, random-order, cross-over study to evaluate the use of continuous ketone monitoring (CKM) in participants with type 1 diabetes taking sotagliflozin.
There will be 2 main groups in the study, participants on Hybrid Closed Loop insulin pumps (HCL), n=26, and participants on Multiple Daily Injections (MDI), n=26. There will also be 2 doses of sotagliflozin examined in the study, 200 milligram (mg) once daily and 400mg once daily. Therefore, there will be 4 treatment groups in the study:
In addition, there will be an open-label extension study for the HCL group. In the extension study, the 26 participants in the HCL group will remain on their insulin pump, receive a low-dose, open-label, once daily injection of long-acting insulin and complete an additional 6 weeks of dosing with open-label 400 mg sotagliflozin.
For MDI participants there will be a total of 12 visits over approximately 22 weeks. For HCL participants there will be a total of 16 visits over approximately 28 weeks.
Inclusion Criteria:
All individuals between the ages of >18 years old, inclusive, at the time of screening;
Individuals able to become pregnant must:
Individuals able to cause a pregnancy must be willing to use clinically acceptable method of contraception during the entire study and for an additional 2 weeks after the end of the treatment period;
Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes ≥ 1 year prior to screening, based on clinical history or as defined by the current American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria;
Treatment with a stable insulin regimen for at least 8 weeks before screening with:
Currently using a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system;
Hemoglobin A1c ≤10% at the time of screening;
Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥60 mL/min/1.73m2;
Agrees and is able to wear the investigational device;
Able to provide written informed consent approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB).
Exclusion Criteria:
Individuals who are currently pregnant or lactating/breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant within 10 months after screening;
Any concurrent diagnosis of diabetes other than type 1 diabetes;
History or evidence of clinically significant disorder or condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would pose a risk to subject safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures, or completion;
Hypotension at screening as defined as, systolic blood pressure < 90 and diastolic blood pressure < 60 with symptoms of low blood pressure (confusion, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, heart palpitations);
Current or recent (within 1 month prior to screening) use of diabetes medications other than insulin; (examples include, Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2i), Pramlintide, Metformin);
Use of glucagon-like-peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogues if not on a stable dose for > 2 months at screening (participants can be rescreened after being on stable dose for > 2 months). Participants on a stable dose of GLP-1 receptor antagonist (RA) and not experiencing frequent vomiting may be included.
Chronic systemic corticosteroids use ( > 4 consecutive weeks) within 6 months prior to screening;
History of diabetic ketoacidosis within 3 months prior screening;
History of a level 3 hypoglycemic event (as defined by ADA criteria) within 3 months of screening.
History of multiple (≥3 infections) genital mycotic infections within 6 months of screening;
Unable or unwilling to follow the study protocol or who are non-compliant with screening appointments or study visits;
Any other condition(s) that might reduce the chance of obtaining study data, or that might cause safety concerns, or that might compromise the ability to give truly informed consent.
