Sticky test: will this patch pump stay put for a week?
NCT ID NCT07408141
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests how well a dummy patch pump (with no electronics or medicine) sticks to the skin of 175 adults with insulin-requiring diabetes. The goal is to see if the adhesive can stay on for 5 to 7 days in different body locations. The results will help design a future commercial patch pump.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help develop a more comfortable and reliable patch pump for people with diabetes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage wear study using a dummy device with no electronics or drug delivery, so it only tests adhesion, not treatment effectiveness.

Inclusion Criteria: * Subjects with insulin- requiring diabetes * Subjects 18 years of age or older * Subjects able and willing to sign informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Subjects who report known skin sensitivity or allergy to pressure-sensitive adhesives, e.g, medical device adhesives, band-aids, other acrylic-containing adhesives * Subjects with any skin condition in the area where device placement (e.g., irritation, rash, infection) could occur, per subject report. * Subjects who are pregnant (per self-report) at initial screening. If a subject becomes pregnant during the study, the site will follow procedures for study withdrawal.
