Brief summary

Demonstration study of the interest of the MEDTRUM A7+ TouchCare insulin patch pump versus INSULET Omnipod® patch pump

Detailed description

Compare the daily use of two single usage patch pumps and demonstrate the interest of use of the A7+TouchCare® (Medtrum) patch pump for type 1 & 2 diabetes management. Main objective is an estimation of Patients A1C (Glycated Haemoglobin) based on the average blood glucose (obtained from a Flash glucose monitoring) and to compare it in both groups. Secondary objectives: * comparison of mean A1C (laboratory values) between the two groups at Baseline and study end. Comparison to be established in a non-inferiority * Observe Skin & overall Tolerance, Technical incidents with the device (failure, disconnection, catheter obstruction…) * Collection of Glucose metrics (minimum, maximum, average/median, standard deviation, out of range value, percentage of time in range, glucose variability)

For the primary outcome, A1C will be estimated and appear in percentage based on assessment done by a Continuous Glucose Monitoring system. The A1C obtained in real life for the group using the comparator pump (Omnipod®) is estimated at 7.8%. Assuming that blood glucose level will be the same with Medtrum pump and based on a defined non-inferiority margin ∆ = + 0.4 (following FDA Guidance for Industry Diabetes Mellitus: Developing Drugs and Therapeutic Biologics for Treatment and Prevention).

Date of recruitment: January 2020 to February 2021 \> total duration 13 months 8 investigational centres mainly hospitals (General and University Hospitals)

Pre-assignment details

Due to Covid 19 pandemia some clinical sites Research Department decided to stop recruitment or put interventional arm of the protocol of test on hold. As consequence of this, some participants where withdrawn. Mainly in Active group as in the control group patients were using their usual devices and treatment and they resumes follow up visits as usual.

Estimation of A1C (%) Based on Average Blood Glucose Measured by Continuous Glucose Sensor on the Last 10 Weeks

A1C will be estimated by a Continuous Glucose Measurement (FreeStyle Libre®) for all patients, at baseline and end of the study (12 weeks). The main objective is to demonstrate Non-inferiority efficacy (PP then ITT) of Medtrum A7+ insulin patch pump vs Insulet Omnipod® insulin patch pump (2 randomized groups). For the primary outcome, A1C will be estimated and appear in percentage based on assessment done by a Continuous Glucose Monitoring system. The A1C obtained in real life for the group using the comparator pump (Omnipod®) is estimated at 7.8%. Assuming that blood glucose level will be the same with Medtrum pump and based on a defined non-inferiority margin ∆ = + 0.4 (following FDA Guidance for Industry Diabetes Mellitus: Developing Drugs and Therapeutic Biologics for Treatment and Prevention).

Time frame: Month 3
