简要总结
-
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease currently affecting more than 425 million people, of which one-third are people older than 65 years. In the UK, the number of people currently diagnosed with diabetes surpassed 3.8 million in 2019, with someone being diagnosed with the illness every two minutes (Diabetes.org figures). The prototype device being tested is a non-invasive blood glucose measurement system worn on the wrist. This would help people with diabetes manage their condition better and help prevent complications.
-
The main objectives of the research are:
- To determine how accurate and effective the Afon prototype non-invasive blood glucose measurement system is, as compared to a gold standard invasive method.
- To chart the Afon device's predicted blood glucose levels over time.
-
The study will be done with 30-50 patients. Eligible patients will have been diagnosed with diabetes (type 1 or 2) at least one year prior, be between 18 and 80 years old, and with a BMI between 18-35 kg/m2. For details of the full list of inclusion and exclusion criteria, see accompanying documentation.
-
The trial will be conducted at the Joint Clinical Research Facility (JCRF), Institute of Life Science 2, Swansea University, SA2 8PP.
-
Participants will attend the site for a total of 5 visits, one for screening, and four study visits, no more than 7 days apart. The study will run for one year.
详细描述
Diabetes is a chronic disease currently affecting more than 425 million people worldwide. In the UK, the number of people currently diagnosed with diabetes surpassed 3.8 million in 2019, with someone being diagnosed with the illness every two minutes (Diabetes.org figures).By the end of this year, 4 million deaths will happen worldwide as a result of diabetes and its complications. These complications include renal failure, blindness, and amputation. It is well established clinically that good glycaemic control minimises the risk of long-term complications and improves morbidity and mortality. Current problems with frequent blood glucose testing are mainly due to patient intolerability. Many patients find finger prick testing for blood glucose levels to be painful, dislike using sharp objects and seeing their own blood. There is also a risk of infection, and in the long term, this practice can result in damage to the finger tissue. This is because the fingers have a high concentration of sensory nerve endings. Additionally, the current invasive blood glucose monitoring systems suffer limitations in terms of the requirement for continuous calibration and susceptibility to contamination by the growth of various living organisms. The Afon technology device would be a gamechanger in terms of improving the quality of life of millions of patients and improve their chances to manage the condition without severe complications.

结局指标
主要结局
Exploratory Efficacy Objective 1
时间窗: Up to 4 hours per test session.
To estimate real-time serial blood glucose levels from the device measurements using a gold standard methodology for blood glucose measurement as control. A comparison addressing the potential differences of MARDs and PARDs respectively will be done for the Afon system tested and assessed using mixed effect linear models with the BG as the fixed effect and subjects as random effects. Within the model the least square means, the differences between least square means of MARD of the Afon system and corresponding two-sided 95% parametric confidence interval will be calculated.
Exploratory Efficacy Objective 2
时间窗: Up to 4 hours per test session.
To chart patient-specific predicted vs actual blood glucose levels over time, including before and after glucose challenge. The type I error is set at 5% two-sided.
Exploratory Usability Objective
时间窗: 25 minutes - 1 hour during a test session.
To obtain patient input for wearable device design by means of a usability questionnaire1 answered questionnaire per participant.
Safety Objective 1
时间窗: Up to 4 hours per test session.
To examine the safety and tolerability of the prototype sensors. Number of participants with no device-related SAE = 0.
