Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of Accu-Chek DiaPort, a Port System for Continuous Intraperitoneal Insulin Infusion, in Patients With Type I Diabetes (NCT NCT01483352)

NCT ID: NCT01483352

Last Updated: 2016-04-15

Results Overview

Suitability of the device was assessed by the investigator using a questionnaire that determined the following: 1) condition of the tissue around the port: tight connection between port and skin (mechanical stability, dislocation of port, signs of redness/swelling, infection, or pain), 2) peritoneal reactions (persistent dull pain due to catheter, signs of infection/allergic reaction) and ability to deliver insulin intraperitonally at every visit after implantation. Suitability score was determined using participant's responses to a questionnaire where 1 equals (=) no problem, 2=minor/negligible problems, 3=some/noticeable problems, 4=major/cumbersome and 5=severe/almost unbearable problems. Each question was scored and an average across the questions was determined as an overall score. The scores ranged from 1 (not at all suitable) to 5 (completely suitable).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Weeks 2 and 12 and Months 6, 9, 12 and 15

Population: All participants were included in the study; number (n)= number of participants analyzed for the given parameter at the specified timepoint

Mechanical stability of the device was determined by the stability of the ingrowth surrounding the port as determined by the physician. The ingrowth problems are categorized as follows: Category 1= complete stable Ingrowth, 2= Ingrowth working with negligible problems, 3= Ingrowth working with some problems, 4= Ingrowth working with major problems and 5= Ingrowth resulting in almost non-functional port. The percentage of participants in each category for the specified time point is presented.

Target glucose values were 70-180 mg/dL. Participants with glucose levels below 70 mg/dL were considered to be under target and those above 180 mg/dL were considered over target. The mean of Glucose-Measurements at the visit date was calculated as follows: a variable was created for each category ("within target \[70-180 mg\]", "below target" and "above target") that tells if the value lies within this category. Then the percentage per participant and visit was calculated. The mean represents the mean of these percentages per participant at the visit.
