The main objective of this study is to determine the efficacy, safety and utility of fully closed-loop glucose control in the home setting in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study builds on previous and on-going studies of closed-loop systems that have been performed in Cambridge in adults with type 2 diabetes in the inpatient and in the home setting and in children and adults with type 1 diabetes.
This is an open-label, multi-national, multi-centre, randomised, single-period parallel study, involving a run-in period followed by a 26-week intervention period during which glucose levels will be controlled either by a fully closed-loop system or by participants usual insulin therapy with continuous glucose monitoring. A total of up to 224 adults with type 2 diabetes using insulin will be recruited through outpatient diabetes clinics, primary care centres, social media advertising and other established methods at participating centres. Participants will receive appropriate training in the safe use of the study devices.
The primary outcome is the between group difference in HbA1c at 26 weeks. Other key outcomes include the time spent with glucose levels within, above and below the target glucose range (3.9-10.0mmol/L) and mean sensor glucose as recorded by CGM over the 26 weeks. Insulin requirements, body weight, renal and liver function will also be compared. Safety evaluation comprises severe hypoglycaemic episodes, and other adverse and serious adverse events. Human factors outcomes include CGM \& closed-loop usage, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews.
Description
Purpose of clinical trial:
To determine the efficacy, safety and utility of fully closed-loop insulin delivery over 26 weeks in the home setting in adults with type 2 diabetes.
Study objectives:
To determine the efficacy, safety and utility of fully closed-loop insulin delivery over 26 weeks in the home setting in adults with type 2 diabetes.
1. EFFICACY: The objective is to assess the ability of fully closed-loop insulin delivery to improve glucose control as measured by HbA1c (primary endpoint) and sensor glucose metrics.
2. SAFETY: The objective is to evaluate the safety of fully closed-loop insulin delivery in terms of episodes and severity of hypoglycaemia, and nature and severity of other adverse events.
3. UTILITY: The objective is to determine the acceptability and duration of use of the CGM and closed-loop system.
4. HUMAN FACTORS: The objective is to assess cognitive, emotional, and behavioural characteristics of participants and their response to the closed-loop system using validated questionnaires and semi-structured interviews.

Sample Size:
224 participants (112 per group) will be randomised. Recruitment will target a minimum quota of 25% of participants using basal insulin and a minimum quota of 60% of participants using multiple daily insulin injections.
Maximum duration of study for a subject: 30 weeks
Recruitment:
Participants will be recruited through outpatient diabetes clinics, primary care centres, social media advertising or other established methods at participating centres
Consent:
Participants will be asked to provide written informed consent.
Baseline Assessment:
Eligible participants will undergo baseline evaluation involving talking a medical history including demographics, height/weight, waist hip ratio and blood pressure measurement and blood samples for HbA1c, fasted lipid profile, renal and liver function. A urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) will be performed, along with a urine pregnancy test in females of child-bearing age. Human factors questionnaires will be completed and a masked glucose sensor will be applied.
