Automated Insulin + Pramlintide Delivery for Type 1 Diabetes
(FCL Trial)
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate whether a fully automated Lyumjev-and-pramlintide delivery system improves glycemic outcomes in adults with type 1 diabetes. The main question we aim to answer is whether a Lyumjev-pramlintide fully closed loop system improves time in range compared to a hybrid closed loop system with carbohydrate counting. We also aim to find the optimal insulin to pramlintide ratio for glycemic control in the fully automated system. In this cross-over study, patients will undergo the following three interventions in a random order: (i) fully automated Lyumjev insulin-and-pramlintide (8 μg/u) (ii) fully automated Lyumjev insulin-and-pramlintide (10 μg/u) (iii) rapid automated Lyumjev insulin-and-placebo with carbohydrate-matched boluses For all interventions, participants will be required to wear two Ypsomed pumps programmed by our developed EuGlide system.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
You may need to stop certain medications to join the trial. If you are currently using antihyperglycemic agents other than insulin, you must stop them for a specific period before participating. Also, if you are using medications that affect gastrointestinal motility or glucocorticoids, you may need to stop those as well.
