The Loop Observational Study

Completed

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

• Registration Number: NCT03838900
• Lead Sponsor: Jaeb Center for Health Research

Brief Summary

An observational study to collect data on the efficacy, safety, usability, and quality of life/psychosocial effects of the Loop DIY automated insulin delivery system.

Detailed Description

The study will include both adults and youth in the United States, with a recruitment goal of at least 300-1,250 participants. Data to be collected to address the study objective will include CGM metrics; HbA1c; insulin delivery data; carbohydrate data; activity data from HealthKit; self-reported adverse events (e.g., severe hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, hospitalizations); self-reported device issues; and psychosocial and user experience/treatment satisfaction surveys.

Online forms will allow participants to report weekly device issues and serious adverse events including severe hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, and hospitalizations. General data updates will be obtained after three, six, and 12 months (and every six months thereafter if study participation continues). A fingerstick blood sample will be collected for HbA1c measurement after three months for cohort A and after six and 12 months for both cohorts. Quality-of-life/psychosocial and treatment satisfaction questionnaires will be completed after six and 12 months; new users also will complete questionnaires after 3 months. Virtual focus groups will be completed within the first three months of starting Loop and at 12 months.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Cohort B	Loop	Participants who have been using Loop 7 or more days at the time of enrollment.
Cohort A	Loop	Individuals who have not started Loop or who have been on Loop fewer than 7 days at the time of enrollment.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Measure of Loop Safety by Self-Report of Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) Events	6 Months	Number of DKA events and event outcomes on the Adverse Event and Device Issue - Loop survey. DKA events are defined as the development of ketones with a diagnosis of DKA by a medical provider.
Measure of Loop Safety by Self-Report of Severe Hypoglycemic Events	6 Months	Number of severe hypoglycemic events and event outcomes on the Adverse Event and Device Issue - Loop survey. Severe hypoglycemia is defined as low blood sugar that affected the individual's ability to think such that they were unable to treat themselves and needed assistance from someone else. The individual may or may not have lost consciousness.
Measure of Loop Safety by Self-Report of Hospitalization Events	6 Months	Number of hospitalizations and event outcomes on the Adverse Event and Device Issue - Loop survey.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Measure of Loop Safety by Self-Report of Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) Events	12 Months	Number of DKA events and event outcomes on the Adverse Event and Device Issue - Loop survey. DKA events are defined as the development of ketones with a diagnosis of DKA by a medical provider.
Measure of Loop Safety by Self-Report of Severe Hypoglycemic Events	12 Months	Number of severe hypoglycemic events and event outcomes on the Adverse Event and Device Issue - Loop survey. Severe hypoglycemia is defined as low blood sugar that affected the individual's ability to think such that they were unable to treat themselves and needed assistance from someone else. The individual may or may not have lost consciousness.
Measure of Loop Safety by Self-Report of Hospitalization Events	12 Months	Number of hospitalizations and event outcomes on the Adverse Event and Device Issue - Loop survey.
