FCL Trial Summary

This trial will investigate how an automated delivery system of insulin and pramlintide can help adults with Type 1 Diabetes to better manage their blood sugar levels.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with type 1 diabetes using insulin pump therapy for at least three months can join. They must not have had diabetic ketoacidosis or severe hypoglycemia recently, be pregnant or breastfeeding, use certain diabetes medications like SGLT2I or GLP1-RA, and should agree to effective birth control if applicable.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests a fully automated system delivering insulin and pramlintide in different ratios (8 μg/u and 10 μg/u) against an automated system with insulin and placebo. The goal is to see which method keeps blood sugar levels within the target range best using two Ypsomed pumps.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), skin reactions at the infusion site, weight changes, nausea, headaches, potential allergic reactions to pramlintide or insulins lispro/aspart.

FCL Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Fully automated Lyumjev-and-pramlintide delivery system (8 μg/u)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Lyumjev and pramlintide fully automated delivery system with no meal announcement. Ratio of 1 unit of insulin for 8 μg of pramlintide.
Group II: Fully automated Lyumjev-and-pramlintide delivery system (10 μg/u)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Lyumjev and pramlintide fully automated delivery system with no meal announcement. Ratio of 1 unit of insulin for 10 μg of pramlintide.
Group III: Hybrid automated Lyumjev-and-placebo delivery system with carbohydrate-matched bolusesActive Control1 Intervention
Lyumjev and saline placebo hybrid automated delivery system with meal announcement. Participants must input the carbohydrate content of their meals to inform the insulin bolus doses based on their pre-programmed insulin-to-carbohydrate ratios.
