Use of Closed Loop Insulin Delivery for Glucose Control in Patients With Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus After Kidney Transplantation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study will be a prospective, single center, randomized controlled parallel group open-label trial. Participants with insulin requiring diabetes mellitus who have been offered an organ for living or deceased donor kidney transplantation will be recruited prior to transplantation surgery. Patients will be randomized in a 2:1 fashion to AP (6 patients) and conventional treatment groups (3 patients). At the end of the subject's post-operative in-patient stay, participants will have the option of wearing a blinded CGM at home for 4 weeks while treating themselves with multiple daily injections (MDI).

Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to conduct a hypothesis-generating pilot study to assess the efficacy and safety of the closed loop control in kidney transplant recipients with history of insulin requiring diabetes mellitus in the early postoperative period.
This study will be a prospective, single center, randomized controlled parallel group open-label trial. Participants with insulin requiring diabetes mellitus who have been offered an organ for living or deceased donor kidney transplantation will be recruited prior to transplantation surgery. Patients will be randomized in a 2:1 fashion to AP (6 patients) and conventional treatment groups (3 patients). At the end of the subject's post-operative in-patient stay, participants will have the option of wearing a blinded CGM at home for 12 weeks while treating themselves with multiple daily injections (MDI).

---|---|
Experimental: Artificial Pancreas (AP) Insulin Group
|
Device: Artificial Pancreas
The Artificial Pancreas will delivery insulin in place of Multiple Daily Injections after a kidney transplant.
|
Active Comparator: Multiple Daily Injections (MDI) Insulin Group
|
Other: Multiple Daily Injections
Multiple Daily Injections as standard of care post kidney transplant.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Safety of Artificial Pancreas system [5 Weeks]
Safety will be assessed by using a continuous glucose monitor, which measures interstitial glucose concentrations every 5 minutes for 24 hours a day. We will measure percentage of time in 24 hour period that the continuous glucose monitor (CGM) measures interstitial glucose values <70 mg/dL per day as a surrogate assessment of safety.
- Efficacy of Artificial Pancreas system [5 Weeks]
Efficacy will be assessed by using a continuous glucose monitor, which measures interstitial glucose concentrations every 5 minutes, 24 hours per day. We will measure percentage of time in 24 hour period that the continuous glucose monitor (CGM) measures interstitial glucose values between 70-180 mg/dL as a surrogate assessment of efficacy.
