Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess accuracy and reliability of the SPIDIMAN continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor system with regard to values as measured by Super GL and compare these results with similar evaluations of the Medtronic MiniMed 640G system, the Abbott FreeStyle Libre Flash Sensor and the DexCom G4 Platinum Sensor in patients with type 1 Diabetes.

Detailed description

The study is a single-center open-label study in patients with type 1 diabetes treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) or multiple daily injections (MDI) therapy. The study will include a total of 12 subjects.

Interventions

The investigational intervention is CGM monitoring using four different CGM systems. Three of the four CGM devices which are used will be CGM systems which have received conformité européenne (CE) certification (Dexcom G4 Platinum, Medtronic MiniMed 640G system, Abbott FreeStyle Libre Flash). The SPIDIMAN sensor will be used for the first time in human subjects, does not yet have received CE certification and will be given an identifying label in addition to being labelled for investigative use only.

Inclusion criteria

* Informed consent obtained after being advised of the nature of the study * Male or female aged ≥18 years * Type 1 diabetes for at least 6 months according to the World Health Organization (WHO) definition * Treatment with multiple daily injections (MDI) or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) for at least 3 months * Body Mass Index (BMI) \< 35 kg/m² * Willing and able to wear 5 CGM devices for the duration of the study and undergo all study procedures. * HbA1c ≤ 86 mmol/mol

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Test-to-Reference Measurement Pairs With an Absolute Relative Difference (ARD) ≤15%36 hoursThe primary outcome measure was overall sensor accuracy determined using ISO 15197:2013, which is percentage (%) of sensor values that are within ±0.8 mmol/L of the reference value at glucose concentrations \<5.6 mmol/L and within ±15% at glucose concentrations ≥5.6 mmol/L. The sensor values were obtained using three different glucose monitoring systems, i.e. Abbott, Dexcom and Medtronic, in patients with T1D over a 12-hour period in standardized conditions. The reference values were obtained by analysis of venous plasma glucose samples.

Participant flow

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Glucose Sensor
Continuous subcutaneous glucose monitoring using four different CGM systems in parallel will be performed throughout the study. Insulin therapy will be performed by the subjects themselves, as under daily life conditions. For the hypoglycaemia experiment an increased insulin bolus will be administered with meals (180% of the subject's calculated mealtime dose). Glucose Sensor: The investigational intervention is CGM monitoring using four different CGM systems. Three of the four CGM devices which are used will be CGM systems which have received conformité européenne (CE) certification (Dexcom G4 Platinum, Medtronic MiniMed 640G system, Abbott FreeStyle Libre Flash). The SPIDIMAN sensor will be used for the first time in human subjects, does not yet have received CE certification and will be given an identifying label in addition to being labelled for investigative use only.
