Ketone Monitoring Approaches for Diabetic Ketoacidosis Risk Mitigation in People With T1D on Adjunctive SGLT-2 Inhibitors

The purpose of this research is to see how well a special education plan using continuous ketone monitoring (DGK) works to lower the risk of a condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) taking SGLT2 inhibitors (a type of medication commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes). This special education plan is compared to a general education plan and considers the higher risk of DKA when using medicines like SGLT2 inhibitors.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Men and nonpregnant women ≥18 years and older
  • Diagnosis of T1D according to American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria
  • HbA1c < 9 %
  • Participants treated with multiple daily injections of insulin, insulin pump, or advanced insulin delivery systems
  • Has provided written informed consent to participate in the study.
  • Must be willing to wear the investigational device
  • Use of adequate contraception for the duration of the study by women of childbearing potential

Exclusion criteria

  • Pregnancy, lactation or planning to become pregnant
  • Any form of diabetes other than T1D
  • People with T1D using weekly insulin (when approved)
  • Use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors within 4 weeks prior to screening
  • Chronic systematic corticosteroids (>4 consecutive weeks) within 6 months before screening
  • History of diabetic ketoacidosis within 6 months of screening
  • History of multiple (≥ 3 infections) genital mycotic infections within 6 months of screening
  • Hypotension at screening is defined as systolic blood pressure < 90 and diastolic blood pressure < 60 with symptoms of low blood pressure (confusion, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, heart palpitations)
  • History of a level 3 hypoglycemic event (as defined by ADA criteria) within 3 months of screening
  • Recent myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure within 3 months prior to screening
  • New York Heart Association Class IV heart failure
  • CKD-EPI estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <30 mL/min/1.73m²
  • Impairment of systems and organs that may increase their risk of participating in the intervention study or compromise the results (for example: end stage kidney disease, active liver dysfunction, gastroparesis, anemia, ), organ transplant.
  • Cancer treatment (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer treated by excision, carcinoma in situ of the cervix or uterus, ductal breast cancer in situ, resected non-metastatic breast or prostate cancer) within one year of screening
  • Active Hepatitis B or C, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV infection controlled with suppressive medications is allowed) or tuberculosis
  • Abnormal liver function at screening defined as any of the following: aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >2X upper limit of the normal reference range (ULN), ALT >2X ULN, serum total bilirubin (TB) >1.5X ULN
  • Current or past history of decompensated cirrhosis (defined as variceal bleeding, ascites, or hepatic encephalopathy), and/or known diagnosis of cirrhosis
  • Heavy alcohol use (for men, ≥5 drinks on any day or ≥15 drinks per week; for women, ≥4 drinks on any day or ≥8 drinks per week) at screening, history of alcohol use disorder or binge drinking
  • Any condition or factor that would compromise the participant's safety or the scientific integrity of the study (cognitive impairment, bipolar disorder, or history of eating disorder)
  • Inability to perform the study follow up/ unwilling to wear the investigational device
  • People who are unwilling to consume at least 20% of calories from carbohydrates

Treatment and study plan

SGLT-2 inhibitor (Sotagliflozin)

Drug

Participants will be asked to take the SGLT-2 inhibitor.

Other names: Inpefa

Insulin withdrawal test (IWT)

Other

An Insulin withdrawal test (IWT) will be given to participants on an SGLT-2 inhibitor. Participants will be monitored.

Primary outcomes

  1. Ketone events with Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB) >1.5 mmol/L

    Time frame: 6 months

    Number of ketone events with BOHB > 1.5 mmol/L for 15 consecutive minutes, as measured by the DGK. The event will end when BOHB is < 1.5 for 15 consecutive minutes. These events will be measured during the risk mitigation phase (Period 3 and Period 4) of the study.
