Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this clinical study is to determine the feasibility, safety, and preliminary effectiveness of the Zone-Model Predictive Control Artificial Pancreas (ZMPC_AP) system in pediatric subjects with type 1 diabetes in an ambulatory semi-supervised environment over a short duration of 3 days and 2 nights, or up to 60 hours.

Description:

The artificial pancreas platform employed under study is centered about the following four key innovations: 1) A zone model predictive control strategy that is at the same time very safe with respect to hypoglycemia, and can simultaneously and independently be tuned with respect to its response to hyperglycemia; 2) Zone control with diurnal blood-glucose target zones; 3) Models of insulin-glucose physiology and insulin on board; 4) A system for alarming and notification of impending hypoglycemia and technical malfunctions: the Health Monitoring System. These features have been evaluated in several clinical trials in adults with unannounced meals and exercise.

The proposed study will evaluate enhancements to our previous system tailored for the special needs of pediatric subjects: 1) A control strategy with responses to hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia spanning wide ranges, as is typical with children; 2) The use of time-dependent zones specific for pediatric subjects; 3) The development of models for young children, capturing the greater physiologic variability, and ensuring cautious insulin delivery; 4) remote alarming and notification systems that are useful to parents.

2. Type 1 diabetes for = 1 year duration - the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes will be based on the history of ketosis/ketoacidosis at diagnosis or laboratory evidence of islet-cell auto-immunity

3. A1c level = 10.0%

4. Use of insulin pump and carbohydrate counting for = 3 months

5. Average total daily insulin dose of at least 10 units/day

6. Current or past use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is desirable but NOT required

7. Normal renal function as measured within 6 months of enrollment

8. Normal thyroid function within 6 months of enrollment, or if previously diagnosed with hypothyroidism, documented within 3 months of enrollment

9. Parent/guardian agrees to stay at hotel with subject for duration of hotel phase and has cell phone that can send/receive text messages

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Episode of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) within 6 months of enrollment

2. Episode of severe hypoglycemia (seizure, loss of consciousness) within 6 months of enrollment

3. Use of medications (other than insulin) known to affect BG levels within 4 weeks of enrollment - examples include systemic glucocorticoids, metformin, pramlintide, liraglutide)

4. Current use of other medications, that in opinion of investigator, would interfere with safety or effectiveness of the study including acetaminophen

5. Medical disorder, that in opinion of investigator, would be contraindication for inclusion; hypothyroidism and celiac disease are NOT exclusion if under good control
