Summary

This trial is testing whether adding pramlintide, a synthetic analog of the hormone amylin, to a closed-loop system will better normalize glucose levels in adults with Type 1 Diabetes, especially during the post-prandial period.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with Type 1 Diabetes using an insulin pump and practicing carbohydrate counting can join. They must not be pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, and agree to use effective birth control if applicable. Excluded are those on certain diabetes medications, have had severe hypoglycemia or ketoacidosis recently, take drugs affecting stomach emptying or glucocorticoids (except low stable doses), have gastroparesis, major heart events in the last 6 months, or serious illnesses.
What is being tested?
The trial tests a dual-hormone artificial pancreas system that delivers both pramlintide and rapid-acting insulin based on glucose levels to improve blood sugar control after meals in adults with Type 1 Diabetes. It aims to see if this approach is better than current methods at normalizing glucose especially post-meal.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include low blood sugar episodes (hypoglycemia), delayed stomach emptying which could affect digestion timing, potential allergic reactions to the synthetic hormone analog pramlintide or other study drug components.
