Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to learn whether an investigational automated insulin delivery system ("study system") for young children (2 yo to less than 6 yo) with type 1 diabetes can safely improve blood glucose (sometimes called blood sugar) control.

Detailed Description

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

Participants will be randomized to closed loop control (CLC) system (t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology) or to standard of care where the children will continue to use his or her personal insulin pump or multiple daily injections. Both groups will use a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) throughout the study. The study system will also use a study insulin pump and a software algorithm to automatically give insulin and control blood glucose. This system is also sometimes called a "closed-loop" system.

This study will take about 6-7 months for the child to complete. Study visits can be completed from home via videoconference (e.g. Zoom) without visiting the clinic or in-person at the clinic.

A subset of participants will be asked to join an ancillary study with Meal Bolus and Exercise challenges during the extension phase. Data collected from the start of each of these challenges until the following morning will be excluded from the analysis of the extension phase.

Study Groups

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

CLC Group

Participants who skip or successfully complete the run-in will be randomly assigned 2:1 to the use of closed-loop control (CLC group) system using Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology vs Standard of Care (SC group) for 3 weeks. Participants randomized to the intervention group will use the Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology v1.0 during the first 13 weeks of the study (RCT phase, weeks 1-13) and then use Tandem t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control-IQ Technology v1.5 for the remaining 13 weeks of the study (extension phase, weeks 14-26).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology Pro

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology Pro is an "artificial pancreas" (AP) application that uses advanced closed loop control algorithms to automatically manage blood glucose levels for people with Type 1 Diabetes. The system modulates insulin to keep blood glucose in a targeted range. The system components include the t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology and the Dexcom G6 CGM. The system is very similar to the commercially available t:sli X2 with Control-IQ but modified to accept the lower weight and Total Daily Insulin of the studied population.

Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology V1.5

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology V1.5 is an "artificial pancreas" (AP) application that uses advanced closed loop control algorithms to automatically manage blood glucose levels for people with Type 1 Diabetes. The system modulates insulin to keep blood glucose in a targeted range. The system components include the t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology and the Dexcom G6 CGM. The system is derived from the commercially available t:slim X2 with Control-IQ, with additional features.

SC Group

Participants who skip or successfully complete the run-in will be randomly assigned 2:1 to the use of closed-loop control (CLC group) system using Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology vs Standard of Care (SC group) for 3 weeks. Participants randomized to the SC group will use their existing insulin therapy in conjunction with study Dexcom G6 CGM during the first 13 weeks of the study (RCT phase, weeks 1-13). The SC group will then transition to using the Tandem t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control-IQ Technology v1.5 and study Dexcom G6 CGM for the remaining 13 weeks of the study (weeks 14-26).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard Care (SC)

Intervention Type DEVICE

Standard of Care consists in the participant existing insulin therapy (prior to enrollment) in conjunction with a study Dexcom G6 CGM. Existing insulin therapies are defined as multiple daily injections of insulin (MDI) or use of an insulin pump without hybrid closed-loop control capabilities (low-glucose suspend or predictive low-glucose suspend functionality is permitted).

Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology V1.5

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology V1.5 is an "artificial pancreas" (AP) application that uses advanced closed loop control algorithms to automatically manage blood glucose levels for people with Type 1 Diabetes. The system modulates insulin to keep blood glucose in a targeted range. The system components include the t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology and the Dexcom G6 CGM. The system is derived from the commercially available t:slim X2 with Control-IQ, with additional features.

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

Inclusion Criteria
