Automated Insulin Delivery for Type 1 Diabetes - Beyond Glucose Metrics

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1
Interventions
Device: Automated insuling delivery system
Registration Number
NCT06469593
Lead Sponsor
Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen
Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if transitioning to automated insulin delivery (AID) systems, can improve objectively measured sleep quality and quantity and alleviate cardiovascular risk factors in both children and adults diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does the intervention improve sleep efficiency as measured by the HomeSleepTest, EEG based device, 4 months after initiation?

* Can the use of AID treatment alleviate cardiovascular risk measured by heart rate variability (HRV), blood pressure and inflammatory markers?

* Researchers will compare AID systems to usual treatment, including both multiple daily injections and sensor augmented pumps to see if the above benefits can be achieved with AID in comparison. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to either start AID treatment or to continue their usual care. The study will be open label.

Participants will, at baseline and after 4 months:

* Have taken blood and urine samples to measure metabolic and inflammatory parameters

* Perform digital cognitive testing using the CANTAB software

* Fill out questionnaires related to quality of life, fear of hypoglycemia, hypoglycemia awareness, eating habits and sleep quality

* Wear a blinded CGM for 10 days

* Monitor sleep at home using the HomeSleepTest for 3 consecutive nights

* Wear a Holter monitor for 24 hours to determine HRV parameters

* Measure blood pressure for 24 hours at 30 min intervals

* Wear an ActiGraph for 7 days to assess sleep and activity, supported by daily electronic sleep diaries

Participants randomized to AID treatment will receive education in the use of the systems.

Virtual follow-up visits are scheduled at week 1, 5 and 9 for both control and intervention groups during the study, following baseline examinations.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Difference in change from baseline to study end in sleep efficiency between the two groups.Baseline and week 18

Measured by HomeSleepTest for 3 consecutive days. Expressed in percentage.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time in sleep stagesBaseline and week 18

As measured by HomeSleepTest for 3 consequtive days. Expressed in percentages.

Cognitive functionBaseline and week 18

Measured using Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) with the Stop Signal Task test for the adult population only.

Inflammatory markersBaseline and week 18

Defined in fold changes to expression of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, MCP-1, VEGF-α, CRP, ICAM-1, V-CAM-1, CRP. Assessed using multiplex ELISA analyses with MesoScale V-Plex and S-Plex plates.

Hypoglycaemia Fear Survey scoresBaseline and week 18

Possible scores between 0-44, higher scores mean more fear of hypoglycemia.

Diabetes Distress Scale scoresBaseline and week 18

Possible scores between 7-42, higher scores mean more diabetes distress.

Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scoresBaseline and week 18

Measured for adults only. Possible scores between 0-21, higher scores means more severe sleep issues.

Sleep latencyBaseline and week 18

As measured by HomeSleepTest and ActiGraph for 3 consequtive days.Expressed in minutes

Waking after sleep onsetBaseline and week 18

As measured by HomeSleepTest and Actigraph for 3 consequtive days. Expressed in minutes

24-hour blood pressureBaseline and week 18

Measured using SpaceLabs Ontrak. Expressed in mmHg, SBP, DBP and MAP means and differences at day/nighttime. Presence of nighttime dipping (defined as MAP reduction of 10% or more). Difference in dat day- and nighttime defined as time asleep measured by HST.

Sleep Screening Questionnaire Children and Adolescents (SSQ-CA) scoresBaseline and week 18

Measured for children

Sleep efficiencyBaseline and week 18

Measured in percentages, assessed using 7 days of ActiGraph data, supported by daily electronic sleep diaries.

Total sleep durationBaseline and week 18

As measured by HomeSleepTest for 3 consequtive days. Expressed in minutes.

Heart rate variabilityBaseline and week 18

Measured using Bittium Faros 180 holter monitors for 24 hours. Measured as frequency-domain distribution relative power in percentage.

EuroQol 5-Domain scoresBaseline and week 18

For adults the 5 Likert scale (5Q-5D-5L) will be used. For children the Young scale (5Q-5D-Y) scale will be used.

Wake time after sleep onsetBaseline and week 18

Measured in minutes, assessed using 7 days of ActiGraph data, supported by daily electronic sleep diaries.

5-item World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5) scoresBaseline and week 18

Possible scores between 0-100. Lower scores means worse well-being.
