What this trial studies

This study assesses the safety of the MiniMed 780G insulin pump combined with the DS5 continuous glucose monitor (CGM) in children aged 2 to 6 years with type 1 diabetes. It is a multi-center, single-arm study conducted in a home setting, lasting approximately 130 days. Participants will be monitored for their insulin requirements and glucose levels while using the system continuously throughout the study period.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are children aged 2-6 years diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for at least three months.

Not a fit: Patients who do not meet the age or diabetes management criteria, or those with an HbA1c greater than 10%, may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve diabetes management and safety for young children using advanced insulin delivery systems.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar insulin pump and CGM combinations, indicating potential for success.

    1. Humalog (insulin lispro injection)
    2. Authorized generic insulin lispro
    3. NovoLog (insulin aspart injection)
    4. Authorized generic insulin aspart
    5. Admelog (insulin lispro injection) - for subjects aged 3 years and older only
11. Has 1 month or more of CGM experience at time of screening.
12. If subject has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, he/she must have a TSH within 3 months prior to screening or at time of screening.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Has a history of 1 or more episodes of severe hypoglycemia during the 3 months prior to screening.
2. Has been hospitalized or has visited the emergency room (ER) in the 3 months prior to screening resulting with a primary diagnosis of uncontrolled diabetes.
3. Has had DKA in the last 3 months prior to screening visit.
4. Will not tolerate tape adhesive in the area of sensor placement as assessed by a qualified individual.
5. Has any unresolved adverse skin condition in the area of sensor placement (e.g., psoriasis, dermatitis herpetiformis, rash, Staphylococcus infection).
6. Has diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency.
7. Has taken any oral, injectable, or intravenous (IV) glucocorticoids within 8 weeks from time of screening visit, or plans to take any oral, injectable, or IV glucocorticoids during the course of the study.
8. Is using hydroxyurea at time of screening or plans to use it during the study.
9. Is actively participating in an investigational study (drug or device) wherein he/she has received treatment from an investigational study drug or investigational study device in the last 2 weeks.
10. Is using pramlintide (Symlin), DPP-4 inhibitor, liraglutide (Victoza or other GLP-1 agonists), metformin, canagliflozin (Invokana or other SGLT2 inhibitors) at time of screening.
11. Parent(s)/guardian(s) has a history of visual impairment which would not allow subject to participate in the study and perform all study procedures safely, as determined by the investigator.
12. Has elective surgery planned that requires general anesthesia during the course of the study.
13. Has sickle cell disease, hemoglobinopathy; or has received red blood cell transfusion or erythropoietin within 3 months prior to time of screening.
14. Plans to receive red blood cell transfusion or erythropoietin over the course of study participation.
