Evaluation of the Safety Use of the InsuPatch Device in Daily Life Conditions

Phase 4

Completed

• Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1
• Interventions: Device: InsuPatch

• Registration Number: NCT01283425
• Lead Sponsor: Insuline Medical Ltd.

Brief Summary

The study is an open-label, randomized, two-period crossover study. Up to one hundred and twenty (120) subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) who use the MiniMed paradigm insulin pump, who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria and who provide written Informed Consent will be enrolled in the study. The aim of the study is to examine the safety of the InsuPatch device in a home use setting. Mild Hypoglycemia,hyperglycemia and Adverse events will be compared between two phases of the study : 3 months with the use of the device and 3 months without the use of the device.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of this study is to show that safety parameters are similar, when delivering insulin subcutaneously in subjects with type I diabetes using the InsuPatch device along with the Medtronic Minimed Paradigm insulin infusion pump and the Medtronic Minimed Quick-Set® infusion set compared to subcutaneous insulin delivered with the above mentioned equipment, without the InsuPatch device.

The participation of each subject in this study will be up to seven months and will include three phases: one week Run in phase , 3 months with device use and 3 months without device use. Study will include 4 clinic visits and bi weekly calls. During the entire study the subjects will be requested to preform at least 5 blood glucose self measurements and record results in a logbook.At each visit blood will be drawn for HBA1C test.

Group	Intervention	Description
Test	InsuPatch	InsuPatch use for 3 months.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
frequency of mild hypoglycemia events (Blood Glucose<60mg/dl) with InsuPatch and without.	safety will be assesed after 6 months at the study completion	The confirmatory safety endpoint is, for each subject, frequency of mild hypoglycemia events (Blood Glucose\<60mg/dl) with InsuPatch and without.; The number of events will be assessed from subject logbook and will be compared between two arms.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Adverse events (AE's) count with InsuPatch and without.	safety will be assesed after 6 months at the study completion	Adverse events (AE's) whether or not deemed related to study device with InsuPatch and without.The number of events will be assesed dering the subject visits and bi-weekly calls and will be compared between two arms.
Frequency of hyperglycemic events (BG>300 mg/dl, Fasting BG>250 mg/dl) with InsuPatch and without.	safety will be assesed after 6 months at the study completion	Frequency of hyperglycemic events (BG\>300 mg/dl, Fasting BG\>250 mg/dl) with InsuPatch and without.The number of events will be assesed from subject logbook and will be compared between two arms.
