A Hybrid Closed-loop Insulin Delivery System for Blood Sugar Control in Patients with High-risk Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Undergoing Chemotherapy

Trial Status: administratively complete

This clinical trial evaluates whether a new hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system can safely be used to treat blood sugar problems in patients being treated for high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Patients who are being treated for ALL have an increased risk of problems with their blood sugar due to side effects of chemotherapy, and increased blood sugar may cause more complications, such as infection. High blood sugar (hyperglycemia) is often untreated or under-treated due to concerns of complications of insulin therapy. The Tandem Control-IQ Professional Hybrid Closed Loop artificial pancreas system is a new method of glucose control that automatically modulates insulin delivery to minimize both low and high blood sugar through continuous glucose monitoring and insulin delivery via a pump. Using a hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system may help manage blood sugar levels and reduce chemotherapy complications in patients with ALL undergoing chemotherapy.
