Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn whether an investigational automated insulin delivery system ("study system") for young children (2 yo to less than 6 yo) with type 1 diabetes can safely improve blood glucose (sometimes called blood sugar) control.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Clinical diagnosis, based on investigator assessment, of type 1 diabetes for at least 6 months and using insulin for at least 6 months
  2. Familiarity and use of a carbohydrate ratio for meal boluses.
  3. Age ≥2 and <6 years old
  4. Living with one or more parent/legal guardian knowledgeable about emergency proceduresfor severe hypoglycemia and able to contact emergency services and study staff.
  5. Investigator has confidence that the parent can successfully operate all study devicesand is capable of adhering to the protocol
  6. Willingness to switch to lispro (Humalog) or aspart (Novolog) if not using already,and to use no other insulin besides lispro (Humalog) or aspart (Novolog) during thestudy for participants using a study-provided Tandem pump during the study. • Study will not be providing insulin; therefore, participants will need to haveaccess to either lispro or aspart
  7. Total daily insulin dose (TDD) at least 5 U/day
  8. Body weight at least 20 lbs.
  9. Willingness not to start any new non-insulin glucose-lowering agent during the courseof the trial (see section 2.3)
  10. Participant and parent(s)/guardian(s) willingness to participate in all trainingsessions as directed by study staff.
  11. Parent/guardian proficient in reading and writing English.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Concurrent use of any non-insulin glucose-lowering agent (including Glucagon-likepeptide-1 [GLP-1] agonists, Symlin, Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 [DPP-4] inhibitors,Sodium-glucose Cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, sulfonylureas).
  2. Hemophilia or any other bleeding disorder
  3. History of >1 severe hypoglycemic event with seizure or loss of consciousness in thelast 3 months
  4. History of >1 DKA event in the last 6 months not related to illness, infusion setfailure, or initial diagnosis
  5. History of chronic renal disease or currently on hemodialysis
  6. History of adrenal insufficiency
  7. Hypothyroidism that is not adequately treated
  8. Use of oral or injectable steroids within the last 8 weeks
  9. Known, ongoing adhesive intolerance
  10. Plans to receive blood transfusions or erythropoietin injections during the course ofthe study
  11. A condition, which in the opinion of the investigator or designee, would put theparticipant or study at risk (specified in the study procedure manual)
  12. Currently using any closed-loop system, or using an insulin pump that is incompatiblewith use of the study CGM
  13. Participation in another pharmaceutical or device trial at the time of enrollment orduring the study
  14. Employed by, or having immediate family members employed by Tandem Diabetes Care,Inc., or having a direct supervisor at place of employment who is also directlyinvolved in conducting the clinical trial (as a study investigator, coordinator,etc.); or having a first-degree relative who is directly involved in conducting theclinical trial

Study Description

Participants will be randomized to closed loop control (CLC) system (t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology) or to standard of care where the children will continue to use his or her personal insulin pump or multiple daily injections. Both groups will use a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) throughout the study. The study system will also use a study insulin pump and a software algorithm to automatically give insulin and control blood glucose. This system is also sometimes called a "closed-loop" system.

This study will take about 6-7 months for the child to complete. Study visits can be completed from home via videoconference (e.g. Zoom) without visiting the clinic or in-person at the clinic.

A subset of participants will be asked to join an ancillary study with Meal Bolus and Exercise challenges during the extension phase. Data collected from the start of each of these challenges until the following morning will be excluded from the analysis of the extension phase.
