Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This randomised crossover study compares glucose control using an advanced hybrid closed-loop (A-HCL) system delivering faster acting insulin aspart (FiASP) vs. insulin aspart in adults with type 1 diabetes.

FiASP has a more rapid onset and shorter duration of insulin action, therefore may improve the responsive of a HCL system. There is limited data available regarding the use of FiASP in HCL systems.

Participants will be assigned in random order either FiASP or insulin aspart delivery for a six week duration each via the A-HCL system (Stage 1 and Stage 2). Stage 1 and Stage 2 will be separated by two weeks, during which the insulin assigned for Stage 2 will be delivered in open-loop (OL). Two meal interventions (missed meal bolus and delayed meal bolus) will be conducted each during both Stage 1 and 2, incorporating a 40g carbohydrate-containing meal at home for dinner. For the final week of the study (Stage 3), participants will revert to the insulin that they were assigned to in Stage 1 without a wash-out period in OL.

This study will consist of ~5 visits over approximately a period of ~17 weeks. All participants will be provided with study devices and receive education regarding their use. The HCL system has advanced closed-loop (CL) capability. It comprises a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device ie. glucose sensor with a small electrode placed under the skin to continuously measure interstitial glucose levels, coupled with an insulin pump containing a computerised automated insulin delivery algorithm. Glucose sensor information is transmitted to the insulin pump, and the dose of insulin is calculated by the algorithm and automatically delivered every 5 minutes to account for basal insulin requirements. Patient-initiated bolus insulin doses are still required for meals.

Twenty-four participants are planned to undertake the study at one clinical site. All procedures involving study participants will be undertaken by study doctors and research nurses. Participants will receive regular text message and phone call reminders during each stage of the study to ensure adherence.

Statistical methods / analysis
This represents an exploratory trial to provide preliminary data on the A-HCL performance with FiAsp compared with insulin aspart. The participant numbers were determined for the initial feasibility study and therefore (n) for this opportunistic extension study has been predetermined.

Comparisons will be made using CGM data collected over each of the six weeks in A-HCL comprising Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the study. Analyses will be by paired t-test. CGM and safety parameters in Stage 3 will be compared with the last week of Stage 1 and Stage 2 to determine whether changing directly from FiAsp to insulin aspart or from insulin aspart to FiAsp without a period of OL run-in impacts A-HCL performance.

Summary
Brief summary
An advanced hybrid closed-loop (A-HCL) insulin delivery system has shown safety and high time-in-range in a previous study. The use of a faster acting insulin aspart (FiASP) with a more rapid onset and shorter duration of insulin action compared to standard insulin aspart could improve the responsiveness of a HCL system. Limited data is available regarding the use of FiASP in HCL systems.

The aim is to compare glucose control using A-HCL delivering FiASP vs. insulin aspart. All participants will undertake the study over a 17 week period, completing 2 study stages in random order, each of 6 week duration 1) A-HCL with FiASP, 2) A-HCL with insulin aspart. Stage 3 will be a 1 week period, reverting back to the insulin formulation used in Stage 1 without a washout period.

Outcome measures include CGM time-in-range and time in hyperglycaemic and hypoglycaemic ranges; safety and system performance outcomes.
