Canadian Real-World Outcomes of Omnipod Initiation in People With T1D

Completed
Conditions
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1
Interventions
Other: MDI
Device: Omnipod
Registration Number
NCT04226378
Lead Sponsor
LMC Diabetes & Endocrinology Ltd.
Brief Summary

The current study aims to assess clinical outcomes in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) who have switched from traditional multiple daily injection (MDI) therapy to continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy with the Omnipod insulin system.

Detailed Description

Poor glycemic control is associated with increased risk of diabetes-related complications in persons with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Despite advancements in insulin therapies and an increase in diabetes technology use, only 21% of adults with T1D are meeting their targeted glycated hemoglobin (A1C) levels. The Omnipod insulin system is a patch pump that consists of a handheld controller and disposable pod that delivers insulin. A retrospective analysis of medical records in the United States found that there was a significant reduction in A1C three months after initiating Omnipod in pediatric, adolescent and adult populations with T1D who switched from either MDI or traditional CSII. Currently, the real-world effectiveness of the Omnipod compared to MDI in adults with T1D on glycemic control, weight, and insulin dose, is not established.

The Canadian Real-World Outcomes of Omnipod Initiation in People with T1D: Evidence from the LMC Diabetes Registry (COPPER) study is a retrospective, observational study using demographic and clinical data from the LMC Diabetes Registry, which consists of over 42,000 active patients with diabetes across 3 Canadian provinces. The overall objectives of this study are to assess clinical outcomes in adults with T1D who switch from MDI to CSII therapy with Omnipod, and to compare clinical outcomes in the Omnipod cohort to a matched cohort of MDI users.
