NCT ID NCT04230694

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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This pilot study tested whether continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can help manage blood sugar in hospitalized adults with diabetes. Forty patients wore a Dexcom G6 device during their hospital stay to track glucose levels. The goal was to see if CGM could reduce dangerous low or high blood sugar events compared to standard care. Results may show whether this technology is practical and effective for routine hospital use.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Dexcom Generation 6 CGM device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that continuous glucose monitoring is a practical and effective way to manage blood sugar in hospitalized patients, reducing dangerous low and high blood sugar events.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to all hospital settings. The device may not be as accurate in sicker patients or those on certain medications.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. * Subjects 18 years of age or older with diabetes. * Subjects willing to avoid using high dose acetaminophen (defined as greater than 4 gm per day) * Subjects with expected hospital length-of-stay of 2 or more days beyond the time of enrollment. * Subjects willing to wear CGM device. Exclusion Criteria: * Female subjects who are pregnant or lactating at the time of enrollment into the study. Females with childbearing potential will be queried about the possibility of pregnancy and a serum pregnancy test will be performed. * Subjects with greater than 4gm use of Tylenol/24 hr. * Surgical patients or patients with pre-planned surgery or procedure in the next 48 hours. * Subjects with acute illness admitted to the ICU or expected to require admission to the ICU. * Patients who may potentially require IV insulin. * Patients with skin lesions, severe psoriasis, burns, tattoos, scarring, redness, infection or edema at the application sites that could interfere with device placement or the accuracy of interstitial glucose measurements. * Patient with a known allergy to medical grade adhesive or isopropyl alcohol used to disinfect skin. * Patients who have had organ transplant. * Patients with any severe medical conditions such as end-stage renal disease on dialysis, status post renal transplantation, end-stage liver disease with diffuse anasarca, heart failure on inotropic support, Ejection Fraction (EF) \< 15 % or severe sepsis. * Any condition for which, in the opinion of the investigators, it would not be in the best interest of the participant. * Legally protected subjects (under judicial protection, guardianship, or supervision), persons deprived of their liberty, mental or language barriers rendering the subject unable to understand the nature, scope and possible consequences of the study. * Subjects with active substance abuse. * Subjects with infaust prognosis.
