Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective of this study is to determine the feasibility, efficacy and safety of automated closed-loop glucose control in the home setting over a short term period. The data and experienced gained from this study will be utilised in planning future home studies.

This is an open-label, three centre, randomised, crossover design, involving two, 8 day (first day in the clinical research facility and seven days at home) study periods during which glucose levels will be controlled either by an automated closed-loop system or by subjects usual insulin pump therapy in random order. A total of up to 24 adults (aiming for 18 completed subjects) aged 18 years and older with T1D on insulin pump therapy will be recruited through diabetes clinics and other established methods in participating centres.

Subjects will receive appropriate training in the safe use of closed-loop insulin delivery system. During the 24 hour in-patient stay subjects will be encouraged to mimic their usual day and will be allowed to walk inside hospital premises. Subjects will be advised to discontinue automated closed-loop insulin delivery and follow their usual insulin pump therapy for periods of strenuous exercise during the 7 day home study phase.

The primary outcome is time spent in target range between 3.9 and 10.0 mmol/L as recorded by CGM (adjusted for potential over-estimation) during home stay. Secondary outcomes are the time spent with glucose levels above and below target, as recorded by CGM, and other CGM-based metrics, and for the stay at the clinical research facility, time spent in the target range, above and below the target range as measured by plasma glucose.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Closed Loop Glucose control

Subject's glucose level is controlled by the automated closed loop glucose control system

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

FlorenceD or similar closed loop glucose control system

Intervention Type DEVICE

Subject's glucose level will be controlled by the FlorenceD or similar automated closed loop glucose control system. The system comprises of FreeStyle Navigator® Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System (Abbott Diabetes Care, Alameda, CA, USA), Dana R Diabecare subcutaneous insulin infusion pump (Sooil Corp. Seoul, South Korea)or similar insulin pump, and MPC-based glucose control algorithm running on a portable computer.

CSII with real-time CGM

Subject glucose level controlled by usual insulin pump therapy in conjunction with real time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

CSII with real-time CGM

Intervention Type DEVICE

Subject glucose level controlled by usual insulin pump therapy in conjunction with real time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. The subject has type 1 diabetes as defined by WHO
2. The subject is 18 years of age or older
3. The subject will have been on an insulin pump for at least 3 months currently using insulin Aspart, with good knowledge of insulin self-adjustment including carbohydrate counting
4. HbA1c ≤ 10 % based on analysis from local laboratory
5. The subject is willing to perform regular finger-prick blood glucose monitoring, with at least 6 measurements per day during the 7 day home phase of the study
6. The subject is willing to wear closed-loop system at home and at work place
7. The subject is willing to follow study specific instructions
8. The subject is literate in English
9. Female subjects of child bearing age should be on effective contraception and must have a negative urine-HCG pregnancy test at screening. In addition in Germany, women of childbearing potential must use a highly effective method of birth control, which is defined as those which result in a low failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) and must use two independent methods of contraception, e.g. diaphragm and spermicide-coated condom.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Non-type 1 diabetes mellitus
2. Any other physical or psychological disease or condition likely to interfere with the normal conduct of the study and interpretation of the study results
3. Current treatment with drugs known to have significant interference with glucose metabolism, such as systemic corticosteroids, as judged by the investigator
4. Known or suspected allergy against insulin
5. Subjects with clinically significant nephropathy, neuropathy or proliferative retinopathy as judged by the investigator
6. Significantly reduced hypoglycaemia awareness as judged by the investigator
7. Total daily insulin dose more than 2 IU/kg/day
8. Subject is pregnant or breast feeding or planning pregnancy in near future (within next 3 months)
9. Severe visual impairment
10. Severe hearing impairment
11. Subjects using implanted internal pacemaker
12. Lack of reliable telephone facility for contact


1. Positive results on urine drug screen (amphetamines/metamphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, cocaine, opiates).
2. Positive alcohol breath test.


Positive reaction to any of the following tests: hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigen, anti-hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) antibodies, anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) 1 antibodies, anti-HIV2 antibodies
