Trial Review

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Public title
Predictive Low Glucose Management (PLGM) Trial : Comparing insulin pump therapy with predictive low glucose suspend feature versus standard sensor augmented pump therapy in patients with type 1 diabetes.
Scientific title
The prediction and prevention of hypoglycaemia using insulin suspension in a randomised controlled trial with the use of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion with real-time continuous glucose monitoring system and predictive low glucose suspend feature (CSII + RT-CGMS + PLGM) versus sensor augmented pump therapy with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion only (CSII+ RT-CGMS) in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D)

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The intervention involves continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion with real-time continuous glucose monitoring system and predictive low glucose suspend feature (Medtronic Minimed 640G) for six months duration. Continuous glucose monitoring will involve insertion of a sensor just under the skin that sends continuous glucose readings back to the insulin pump. This pump has the added feature of Predictive Low Glucose Suspend function. If a low glucose level is predicted to be reached in 30 minutes and the patient does not respond to the alarm, the pump will suspend insulin infusion for 2 hours. Both the pump and glucose sensor system will be worn for the entire 6 months.

Treatment: Devices
Comparator / control treatment

Study design
Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Recruitment of participants will be performed by study co-ordinator at each site who is unaware at the time of recruitment, which group the participant will be allocated. Allocation of treatment is concealed and performed by computerised central randomisaion.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Randomisation by using a computer software which is adapted to minimisation of variation in gender, age, diabetes duration, HbA1c, fear of hypoglycaemia score and centre site.
Masking / blinding
