Is the Artificial Pancreas, Without Carbohydrate Counting, Efficient and Safe in an Outpatient Setting

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Autoimmune Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes
Interventions
Device: Non-hybrid closed-loop system with ARG algorithm
Registration Number
NCT04793165
Lead Sponsor
Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires
Brief Summary

This is a pilot, interventional clinical trial to assess the effectiveness and safety of artificial pancreas (AP) using the ARG algorithm closed-loop system in a monitored 3-day period outpatient study. Once the safety of the device has been validated in the open-loop first 3-day period (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) plus continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)) the investigators will move the study to the second 3-day closed-loop period, without carbohydrate (CHO) counting.

Non-hybrid closed-loop systemNon-hybrid closed-loop system with ARG algorithmTo compare two types of treatments: During the first 3 days: Previous or conventional, with CSII plus CGM in open loop. During the second 3 day period: AP with CSII plus CGM in a closed-loop system, through the ARG algorithm.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of AP treatment without CHO counting in an outpatient setting.3 days

Percent of time in each range according to sensor glucose readings

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
