What this trial studies

This multi-center, randomized, cross-over study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Omnipod 5 SmartAdjust 2.0 System compared to the Omnipod 5 System in individuals with type 1 diabetes. Participants will undergo three periods of treatment, starting with one system for four weeks, switching to the other for another four weeks, and then using the SmartAdjust 2.0 System for an additional 4-6 weeks. Throughout the study, participants will be expected to manage their diabetes according to their usual routines while adhering to specific insulin usage guidelines. The study involves approximately five in-person visits to monitor progress and adherence.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals aged 2 to 70 years with a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes who are current users of the Omnipod 5 system.

Not a fit: Patients who have not been using the Omnipod 5 system for at least three months prior to screening may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved diabetes management and better health outcomes for individuals with type 1 diabetes.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success with similar insulin delivery systems, indicating a promising approach to diabetes management.
