Brief Summary

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

The objective of the study is to assess efficacy and safety of a closed loop system (t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology) in a large randomized controlled trial.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

After consent is signed, eligibility will be assessed. Eligible participants not currently using an insulin pump and Dexcom CGM with minimum data requirements will initiate a run-in phase of 2 to 8 weeks that will be customized based on whether the participant is already a pump or CGM user. Participants who skip or successfully complete the run-in will be randomly assigned 2:1 to the use of closed-loop control (CLC group) using t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology vs. SAP for 6 months.

Study Groups

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

Closed Loop Control (CLC)

Participants randomized to the closed loop control (CLC) arm will use the t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology \& Dexcom G6 CGM for 6 months.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology & Dexcom G6 CGM

Intervention Type DEVICE

Participants will use the Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology \& Dexcom G6 CGM for 6 months at home.

Sensor-Augmented Pump (SAP)

Participants randomized to sensor-augmented pump (SAP) will use an insulin pump with no automated insulin delivery and a study CGM (Dexcom G6) for 6 months.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Sensor-augmented pump (SAP)

Intervention Type DEVICE

Participants will use an insulin pump with no automated insulin delivery and a study CGM (Dexcom G6) for 6 months at home. Pump-users at the time of enrollment will use their personal pump in this arm. Multiple daily injection (MDI) users at the time of enrollment will use a t:slim X2 insulin pump without Control-IQ technology.

t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology & Dexcom G6 CGM

Participants will use the Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology \& Dexcom G6 CGM for 6 months at home.

Intervention Type DEVICE

Sensor-augmented pump (SAP)

Participants will use an insulin pump with no automated insulin delivery and a study CGM (Dexcom G6) for 6 months at home. Pump-users at the time of enrollment will use their personal pump in this arm. Multiple daily injection (MDI) users at the time of enrollment will use a t:slim X2 insulin pump without Control-IQ technology.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

1. Clinical diagnosis, based on investigator assessment, of type 1 diabetes for at least one year and using insulin for at least 1 year.
2. Familiarity and use of a carbohydrate ratio for meal boluses.
3. Age ≥14.0 years old.
4. For females, not currently known to be pregnant. If female and sexually active, must agree to use a form of contraception to prevent pregnancy while a participant in the study. A negative serum or urine pregnancy test will be required for all females of child-bearing potential. Participants who become pregnant will be discontinued from the study. Also, participants who during the study develop and express the intention to become pregnant within the timespan of the study will be discontinued.
5. For participants \<18 years old, living with one or more parent/legal guardian knowledgeable about emergency procedures for severe hypoglycemia and able to contact the participant in case of an emergency.
6. Willingness to suspend use of any personal CGM for the duration of the clinical trial once the study CGM is in use.
7. Willingness to use a regular insulin pump during the study with no automatic insulin adjustment based on glucose level when assigned to participate in an SAP group
8. Investigator has confidence that the participant can successfully operate all study devices and is capable of adhering to the protocol.
9. Willingness to switch to lispro (Humalog) or aspart (Novolog) if not using already, and to use no other insulin besides lispro (Humalog) or aspart (Novolog) during the study.
10. Total daily insulin dose (TDD) at least 10 U/day.
11. Willingness not to start any new non-insulin glucose-lowering agent during the course of the trial.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Concurrent use of any non-insulin glucose-lowering agent other than metformin (including GLP-1 agonists, Symlin, DPP-4 inhibitors, SGLT-2 inhibitors, sulfonylureas).
2. Hemophilia or any other bleeding disorder.
3. A condition, which in the opinion of the investigator or designee, would put the participant or study at risk.
4. Participation in another pharmaceutical or device trial at the time of enrollment or during the study.
5. Employed by, or having immediate family members employed by Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. or TypeZero Technologies, LLC, or having a direct supervisor at place of employment who is also directly involved in conducting the clinical trial (as a study investigator, coordinator, etc.); or having a first-degree relative who is directly involved in conducting the clinical trial.
