Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Description:

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.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Clinical diagnosis, based on investigator assessment, of type 1 diabetes for at least 6 months and using insulin for at least 6 months

2. Familiarity and use of a carbohydrate ratio for meal boluses.

3. Age =2 and <6 years old

11. Parent/guardian proficient in reading and writing English.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Concurrent use of any non-insulin glucose-lowering agent (including Glucagon-like peptide-1 [GLP-1] agonists, Symlin, Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 [DPP-4] inhibitors, Sodium-glucose Cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, sulfonylureas).

2. Hemophilia or any other bleeding disorder

3. History of >1 severe hypoglycemic event with seizure or loss of consciousness in the last 3 months

4. History of >1 DKA event in the last 6 months not related to illness, infusion set failure, or initial diagnosis

7. Hypothyroidism that is not adequately treated

8. Use of oral or injectable steroids within the last 8 weeks

9. Known, ongoing adhesive intolerance

10. Plans to receive blood transfusions or erythropoietin injections during the course of the study

11. A condition, which in the opinion of the investigator or designee, would put the participant or study at risk (specified in the study procedure manual)

12. Currently using any closed-loop system, or using an insulin pump that is incompatible with use of the study CGM

13. Participation in another pharmaceutical or device trial at the time of enrollment or during the study

14. Employed by, or having immediate family members employed by Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc., 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

Intervention

Device:
• Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology Pro
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.
• Standard Care (SC)
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
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.
