Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combining SGLT2 inhibitors with closed loop control (CLC).

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Combination Product: Empagliflozin + Control-IQ x 4 wks then Basal-IQ x 2 wks
  • Combination Product: Empagliflozin + Basal-IQ x 2 wks then Control-IQ x 4 wks
  • Device: No Empagliflozin + Control-IQ x 4 wks then Basal-IQ x 2 wks
  • Device: No Empagliflozin + Basal-IQ x 2 wks then Control-IQ x 4 wks
Phase 1

Detailed Description

The first five participants will be enrolled in a Pilot Study to use the Basal-IQ with Empagliflozin 10 mg daily for approximately two weeks. These participants will participate in an estimated 36-48-hour hotel admission to initiate use of Closed Loop Control. The safety data from the Pilot Study will be presented to the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) for review.

Upon DSMB approval, approximately 40 participants will be randomized 1:1 in a crossover design. Participants will use empagliflozin 5 mg daily. This main study is a randomized control trial where approximately 50 participants, aged 18 to less than 65 y.o. at time of consent, will be in the trial for up to 10 weeks.

With empagliflozin:
  • Control-IQ (CiQ) x 4 weeks (CiQ-EMPA) then Basal-IQ x 2 weeks (BiQ-EMPA)

  • Basal-IQ x 2 weeks (BiQ-EMPA) then CiQ x 4 weeks (CiQ-EMPA)

Without empagliflozin:
  • CiQ x 4 weeks (CiQ-NO EMPA) then Basal-IQ x 2 weeks (BiQ-NO EMPA)

  • Basal-IQ x 2 weeks (BiQ-NO EMPA) then CiQ x 4 weeks (CiQ-NO EMPA)
