AIDE T1D Trial Summary

This trial will test two different features of a new insulin pump, the High Continuous Low Glucose Suspend (HCL) feature and the Predictive Low Glucose Suspend (PLGS) feature, to see which one works better in controlling blood sugar levels. The trial will last for 36 weeks and will involve training on how to use the study devices, followed by three 12-week periods in which participants will use either the HCL feature, the PLGS feature, or the standard SAP therapy (control). After the last 12-week period, participants will be given the opportunity to use study devices for an additional 12 weeks to assess

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 65 or older with Type 1 Diabetes who manage their own insulin and glucose monitoring, have had diabetes for at least a year, and are willing to use new automated insulin delivery devices. They must not have severe kidney disease, cognitive impairments that affect understanding of the study or device usage, nor a history of severe diabetic complications in the recent past.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The AIDE T1D trial tests two features of the Tandem t:slim X2 insulin pump—Hybrid Closed Loop (HCL) and Predictive Low Glucose Suspend (PLGS)—against standard therapy. Participants will switch between these methods over three periods to compare effectiveness and safety in elderly individuals with Type 1 Diabetes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include skin reactions due to adhesive allergy from device wear, low blood sugar events if settings are not adjusted properly, and possible discomfort or infection at the infusion site.

AIDE T1D Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: Predictive Low-Glucose Insulin Suspension (PLGS)Active Control1 Intervention
The PLGS intervention arm will utilize the Tandom t:slim X2 with Basal-IQ Technology and Dexcom G6 CGM
Group II: Sensor-Augmented Pump (SAP)Active Control1 Intervention
The SAP arm will utilize the Tandem t:slim X2 without HCL or PLGS features turned on and Dexcom G6 CGM
Group III: Hybrid Closed Loop Control (HCL)Active Control1 Intervention
The HCL intervention arm will utilize the Tandom t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology and Dexcom G6 CGM
