Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Diabetes Mellitus
Chronic Pancreatitis
Interventions
Device: Closed Loop Insulin
Registration Number
NCT01945138
Lead Sponsor
University of Minnesota
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of closed loop insulin pump therapy to control blood sugar following total pancreatectomy and islet auto-transplantation (TPIAT).

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES AND HYPOTHESES The main objective of this study is to determine if a closed loop insulin system can successfully achieve tighter blood sugar control than the current multiple daily injection regimen. The investigators hypothesize that the average blood glucose will be lower in the closed loop group than the control group, there will be less glucose variability in the closed loop group than the control group, and there will be less total time spent in hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia in the closed loop group than in the control group. The investigators also will investigate insulin requirements and islet function in the first 6 months post-transplant in the closed loop group The investigators hypothesize that the insulin requirements will be lower and the C-peptide levels higher in the closed loop group than in the control group.

Closed Loop InsulinClosed Loop InsulinClosed Loop Insulin Group: patients receive continuous subcutaneous insulin controlled by experimental closed loop system during the 72 hour study period.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Study Period: Average Serum BG3 days of investigation period

Mean blood glucose value: a single report of the average of the analytical blood glucose values will be computed and compared between the pump and control groups.

Study Period: Serum BG Standard Deviation3 days of investigation period

Measure of glycemic variability. This is the standard deviation in all serum BG values for each individual patient.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Day 14 Follow-Up: Average Serum BGDay 14 Follow-Up

Day 28 Follow-Up: Average Serum BGDay 28 Follow-Up
Day 28 Follow-Up: C-PeptideDay 28 Follow-Up
Study Period: Continuous Glucose Monitor Standard Deviation of BGcontinuous over the 72 hour investigation period

measure of glycemic variability by CGM. This is the standard deviation within each patient for all CGM glucose readings.

Study Period: Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) BG Averagecontinuously over the 72 hour investigational period

Continuous glucose monitoring sensor data: The CGM's in the pump and control groups will collect glucose readings continuously over a 72 hour period

Study Period: % of Time CGM BG <70 mg/dLcontinuous over the 72 hour investigation period
Study Period: Percent Time BG in Range 70-140 mg/dLcontinuous over the 72 hour investigation period

Additional measure of glycemic variability, as reflected by CGM measures, % time in the range of 70-140 on CGM

Study Period: CGM Area Under the Curve (AUC) With Glucose < 70 mg/dLcontinuous over the 72 hour investigation period

Calculated as the area under the curve on the CGM tracing that the glucose is under 70 mg/dL.

Study Period: % of Time CGM BG > 140 mg/dLcontinuous over the 72 hour investigation period
Study Period: CGM AUC With Glucose> 140 mg/dLcontinuous over the 72 hour investigation period
Study Period: Morning C-peptideAverage of 3 day study period

A single C-peptide measurement collected daily x 3 days, collected at random (meaning not in a fasting state) each morning. Expressed as average for each patient.

Study Period: Daily Insulin NeedsAverage of 3 day study period

Calculated as total daily dose of insulin.
