Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a single arm longitudinal study investigating advanced hybrid closed loop insulin therapy (AHCL) combined with an optimisation protocol. For the duration of the study participants will be provided with a Medtronic AHCL pump.
The pump works in Manual Mode (comparable to current insulin therapy with the Medtronic 640G pump) and Auto Mode (hybrid closed loop therapy).
Participants will be educated using both face to face verbal instruction and printed sponsor derived instruction manuals(from Medtronic) on the use of Auto Mode, an option available in the pump, which will adjust the insulin delivery based on the sensor glucose level. The user will still need to bolus for meals like standard pump therapy and hence this is described as a hybrid closed loop system.
The interventions(s) will be administered by an Endocrinologist(independent of clinical treatment team) together with two research nurses.
Following a run-in period of 21 days running as a sensor augmented pump(SAP) with Predictive low Glucose Monitoring (PLGM) to allow Automode activation, participants will then run non-optimized advanced hybrid closed loop . After these two phases, all participants will enter into the optimisation phase to complete 6 months AHCL study duration total.
Optimization occurs with a mathematical model-based digital-twin tool to personalize and automate user-dependent AHCL .The inputs to this model are carb-insulin ratio, active insulin time, manual mode, basal rates. The tool uses a minimum of 21 consecutive CareLink days of sensor augmented pump therapy to generate the following outcomes:
• 48 segments for Manual Mode basal rates (00:00 - 00:30, 00:30 - 01:00, etc.)
• 1 ISF for Manual Mode to match the Insulin sensitivity factors utilized by the Auto Mode
• 8 segments for Manual Mode and Auto Mode Carbohydrate ratios (00:00-03:00, 03:00 -06:00, etc.)
• active insulin time (AIT) for manual mode and Auto Mode.
Participants will be recommended to electronically upload their insulin pump weekly for the first 6 weeks, to a cloud based server with additional input with the study team, will refine pump settings according to the recommendations.
After 6 weeks, the minimum upload and optimization frequency is every 14 days, but can occur with greater frequency as per discretion of the investigators and subjects. At these upload points the study staff will access pump analytics including time in auto mode and reasons for auto mode exit, as well as amount of insulin used , basal rates, bolus insulin used and blood glucose levels. Therefore these reviews will be used to monitor adherence to the intervention.
The single arm study intervention is: Medtronic AHCL insulin pump running in AHCL mode with associated optimisation protocol
Expected duration of subject participation is 8 months (6 months + 42 days run-in)
The optimisation intervention is a mathematical model-based digital-twin tool, using the previous 21 days data from the AHCL upload on CarelinkTM will generate suggested setting changes (see detail below).

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
This study has a primary endpoint comparing Time in Range (TIR) and average sensor glucose from 21 days baseline CGM data to the final two weeks of the intervention. Data will be presented as mean changes and standard deviations.
A sample size of 60 will provide 95% power at a two-sided alpha of 0.05 to detect an effect size (Dz) of 0.47. Assuming that participants’ change in time in range (TIR) has a standard deviation of 8.5, this represents an absolute improvement of 4.0 percentage points (ie. from 70% to 74% TIR). The sample has been expanded to 65 to allow for new investigational use in children <7 years.
MISSING DATA
All ITT analyses will incorporate all available data, the full analysis set, and there will be on imputation of missing data. For the general linear mixed models participants are not required to have both interventions to be included in the analyses.
DEVIATION FROM PLANNED STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
Any deviation from the planned statistical analysis will be describe in the final study report.
ANALYSIS POPULATIONS
SAFETY ANALYSIS POPULATION
All subjects who have used the study device, whether prematurely withdrawn from the study or not, will be included in the safety analysis population.
INTENT-TO-TREAT POPULATION
All subjects who complete the screening process and are enrolled into the study (i.e. assigned to a treatment sequence) are included in the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population. This population is the primary analysis population for all non-safety related analyses.
PER-PROTOCOL POPULATION
Subset of the ITT population who meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria and have complete CGM data will be included in the Per-Protocol (PP) population. All decisions on subject exclusions from the PP population will be made prior to database closure and will be justified in the clinical study report.
SAFETY DATA ANALYSIS
All safety analyses will be based on the safety analysis population.
