“The IDCL Trial is designed as a pivotal trial of a closed-loop control-to-range system, and includes seven institutions in the U.S. and three in Europe led by the University of Virginia,” said Boris Kovatchev, PhD, Director of the Center for Diabetes Technology at the University of Virginia and principal investigator of the IDCL Trial. “The integration of technology provided by Tandem, Dexcom, and TypeZero in this trial represents a new level of sophistication in artificial pancreas research and development.”
“A world-class automated insulin delivery system needs to be simple to use, rely on the most accurate CGM data available, and use a proven and trusted algorithm,” said Kim Blickenstaff, president and CEO of Tandem Diabetes Care. “We believe the combination of Tandem, Dexcom, and TypeZero technologies will deliver all three, and we are honored to be working together with them for this trial.”
"Our efforts with Tandem began with the display of CGM data on their t:slim G4 Pump and we are pleased to take this next step in the integration of our future products to support automated insulin delivery," said Steve Pacelli, EVP, Strategy & Corporate Development at Dexcom.
“The addition of Tandem’s innovative touchscreen pumps to the IDCL Trial is tremendous, and a great first step in their integration of our inControl algorithm into a future software update for the t:slim X2 Pump,” said Chad Rogers, Chief Executive Officer at TypeZero Technologies. “We look forward to bringing these solutions to patients in the upcoming IDCL trial and ultimately delivering a best-in-class automated insulin delivery solution to patients across the globe.”
The IDCL Trial is expected to enroll 240 adults with type 1 diabetes and is projected to start in late 2016. TypeZero’s technology includes a series of algorithms developed from initial research conducted at the University of Virginia. To date, this technology has been used in more than 28 clinical studies including more than 475 participants, with data referenced in a number of journal articles.
NEWS WILL BE released before EoY on clinical trial for this new product !!!!!!
