Safety and Feasibility Evaluation of the APS APP

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Interventions
Device: Artificial Pancreas App
Registration Number
NCT03504046
Lead Sponsor
Sansum Diabetes Research Institute
Brief Summary

This clinical trial is a safety and feasibility study to assess the performance of artificial pancreas (AP) system using the Zone Model Predictive control (Zone-MPC) and Health Monitoring System (HMS) algorithms embedded into the APS APP platform.

Detailed Description

The system will be evaluated on up to 10 adult subjects with type 1 diabetes age 18-75 years old at a single clinical site (Sansum Diabetes Research Institute), who will complete a 48-hour closed-loop (CL) session in an observed CRC environment with medical staff present. During the session subjects will bolus for all meals and snacks and perform a 45-minute walking session while supervised by medical staff. The AP system used consists of an insulin pump, a CGM sensor, and a phone app (the Artificial Pancreas System \[APS\] phone app).
