What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study looked at how well an artificial pancreas system (the Tandem t:slim pump with Control-IQ Technology) works for teenagers with Type 1 Diabetes during puberty. It followed 42 adolescents aged 11-13 for two years, comparing the device to usual care. The goal was to see if the system helps control blood sugar and how the body's insulin needs change over time.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Tandem t:slim insulin pump with Control-IQ Technology (artificial pancreas device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that the artificial pancreas system helps teenagers with Type 1 Diabetes maintain better blood sugar control during puberty.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 42 participants, so results may not apply to all teens. The device is already FDA-approved for older teens, so the main question is about long-term effects during puberty.

At least Tanner 2 pubic hair (boys), Tanner 2 breast development (girls) 3. HbA1c \<10 clinically obtained within the last 6 weeks; if the participant is unable to go to the laboratory or clinic because of stay-at-home orders, the entry hemoglobin A1c level can be assessed via outside laboratory (e.g. LabCorp), home HbA1c device, recent clinically-obtained HbA1c in past month.. 4. Clinical diagnosis, based on investigator assessment, of type 1 diabetes for at least one year 5. Currently using insulin for at least six months 6. Both prior pump and MDI users will use insulin parameters such as carbohydrate ratio and correction factors consistently on their pump in order to dose insulin for meals or corrections 7. Access to internet and willingness to upload data during the study as needed 8. For females, not currently known to be pregnant or breastfeeding 9. If female and sexually active, must agree to use a form of contraception to prevent pregnancy while a participant in the study. A negative serum or urine pregnancy test will be required for all females of childbearing potential. Participants who become pregnant will be discontinued from the study. Also, participants who during the study develop and express the intention to become pregnant within the timespan of the study will be discontinued. 10. Willingness to suspend use of any personal CGM for the duration of the clinical trial once the study CGM is in use 11. Willingness to switch to lispro (Humalog) or aspart (Novolog) if not using already, and to use no other insulin besides lispro (Humalog) or aspart (Novolog) during the study, if randomized to the Control-IQ group. 12. Total daily insulin dose (TDD) at least 10 U/day and not more than 100 U/day 13. Willingness not to start any new non-insulin glucose-lowering agent during the course of the trial (including metformin, GLP-1 agonists, pramlintide, DPP-4 inhibitors, biguanides, sulfonylureas and naturaceuticals) 14. An understanding and willingness to follow the protocol and signed informed consent 15. Participants must have Internet access and a computer system that meets the requirements for uploading the study equipment. 16. Contact with primary diabetes physician to discuss study details and the participant's care, with study team continuing to feel that the participant is appropriate for study inclusion. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Hemoglobin A1c \>10% clinically obtained within the past 6 weeks 2. A known medical condition that in the judgment of the investigator might interfere with the completion of the protocol such as the following examples: 1. Severe renal impairment, end-stage renal disease, or dialysis 2. Inpatient psychiatric treatment in the past six months 3. Presence of a known adrenal disorder 4. Abnormal liver function test results (Transaminase\>2 times the upper limit of normal); testing required for subjects taking medications known to affect liver function or with diseases known to affect liver function 5. Uncontrolled thyroid disease 6. Concurrent use of any non-insulin glucose-lowering agent. 7. Hemophilia or any other bleeding disorder. 3. History of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in the 6 months prior to enrollment 4. Severe hypoglycemia resulting in seizure or loss of consciousness in the 6 months prior to enrollment 5. Pregnancy or intent to become pregnant during the trial 6. Currently being treated for a seizure disorder 7. Planned surgery during study duration 8. Treatment with any non-insulin glucose-lowering agent (including metformin, GLP-1 agonists, pramlintide, DPP-4 inhibitors, SGLT-2 inhibitors, biguanides, sulfonylureas and naturaceuticals) 9. A known medical condition that in the judgment of the investigator might interfere with the completion of the protocol 10. Use of an insulin delivery mechanism that is not downloadable by the subject or study team 11. (Randomized substudy only) Current use of an automated insulin delivery system (besides LGS and PLGS) such as Medtronic 670G, Control-IQ or DIY system (or unwillingness to discontinue automated insulin delivery for three months before enrollment and the duration of the trial). 12. Having a family member(s) employed by Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. or Dexcom, Inc. 13. Current enrollment in another clinical trial, unless approved by the investigator of both studies or if clinical trial is a non-interventional registry trial.
