Feasibility Study of Using a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) Controller Versus an MPC (Model Predictive Control) Controller Algorithm and Health Monitoring System (HMS)

The goal of this proposed study is to explore the feasibility of using a PID
(Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller versus an MPC (Model Predictive Control)
controller algorithm in an artificial pancreas system, all other components and study design
being equal.

The study consists of an evaluation of either type of control algorithm as a part of the
Artificial Pancreas (AP) device during two periods of 27.5-hour closed-loop control in a
clinic environment (Sansum Diabetes Research Institute, Santa Barbara, CA) separated by a
minimum of 5 days and a maximum of 2 weeks. The 27.5-hour period includes: 2 announced meals
(dinner and breakfast of 65g and 50g CHO respectively) preceded with a dose of rapid-acting
insulin equivalent to 100% bolus based on each subject's Insulin to Carbohydrate (I:C) ratio
and 1 unannounced meal (lunch of 65g carbohydrates, same meal content as dinner); complete
night from 12:00 am to 7:00 am. The goal is to demonstrate that the AP device is able to
maintain the subject blood glucose within a safe range at all times.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes for at least one year and using an insulin pump
for at least 6 months with commercially available rapid acting insulin

- The diagnosis of type 1 diabetes is based on the investigator's judgment; C peptide
level and antibody determinations are not needed.

- Age 21 to 65 years

- For females, not currently known to be pregnant or nursing

- HbA1c between 5 to 10%, as measured with DCA2000 or equivalent device

- Willing to perform the calibration of the study CGMs using a finger stick only and
willing to follow instructions for insulin pump and CGM wear.

- Willing to use the study CGM and study insulin pump during closed-loop.

- Able to and agrees to avoid the following medication starting 24 hours before sensor
wear through completion of the close loop study visit: acetaminophen, prednisone, and
pseudoephedrine.

- An understanding of and willingness to follow the protocol and sign the informed
consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Exhibit hypoglycemia unawareness.

- Indications of cardiac arrhythmia.

- Pregnancy (as determined by a positive blood pregnancy test performed in females of
childbearing capacity during screening visit and urine test at time of admission for
in-patient visit) or nursing mother.

- Females who are sexually active and able to conceive that do not use contraception.

- Diabetic ketoacidosis in the past 6 months prior to enrollment requiring emergency
room visit or hospitalization

- Severe hypoglycemia resulting in seizure or loss of consciousness in the 12 months
prior to enrollment

- Current treatment for a seizure disorder; Subjects with a history of seizures may be
included in the study if they receive written clearance from their neurologist

- Active infection

- A known medical condition that in the judgment of the investigator might interfere
with the completion of the protocol such as cognitive deficit.

- Mental incapacity, unwillingness or language barriers precluding adequate
understanding or co-operation, including subjects not able to read or write.

- Coronary artery disease or heart failure.

- Subjects with a history of coronary artery disease may be included in the study if
they receive written clearance from their cardiologist

- Presence of a known adrenal disorder

- Active gastroparesis

- If on antihypertensive, thyroid, anti-depressant or lipid lowering medication, lack
of stability on the medication for the past 2 months prior to enrollment in the study

- Uncontrolled thyroid disease; Adequately treated thyroid disease and celiac disease
do not exclude subjects from enrollment

- Abuse of alcohol

- Current use of a beta blocker medication

- Laboratory results:

1. Hematocrit < 30% or >55%

2. A1C > 10%

3. Abnormal liver or renal function (Transaminase >2 times the upper limit of
normal, Creatinine> 1.5 mg/dL)

4. Labs drawn at screening visit or within one month prior to screening (for other
purposes) will suffice for enrollment purposes related to hematocrit

- Subject has skin conditions that, in the determination of the investigator, would
preclude wearing the study devices (infusion set and sensor), in the abdomen.
Examples include but are not limited to: psoriasis, burns, scaring, eczema, tattoos,
and significant hypertrophy at sites of device wear; any known allergy to medical
adhesives.

- Currently on long-term treatment using prednisone. If subject had been on short term
treatment of prednisone, defer enrollment until underlying condition and prednisone
treatment have resolved.

- Allergy to study drug, food or other study material.

- Clinically significant screening ECG, physical examination, laboratory test, or vital
sign abnormality.

- Exposure to any investigational drug within 30 days.

- History of malignancy within the 5 years before screening (other than basal cell
carcinoma).

- Currently smoking or discontinued smoking (including cigarettes, cigars, pipes) over
the past 6 months.

- Current participation in another investigational trial.
