This protocol has been drafted in accordance with ISO 14155: May 2012
Since 1988 the implementation of clinical trials in France has been governed by the law 88-1138 of 20
December 1988 (so-called “Huriet-Serusclet” law) and its implementing decree.
This legislative and regulatory system was modified by the transposition into French law of European
Directive 2001/20/EC of 4 April 2001 relating to the implementation of Good Clinical Practice in the
conduct of clinical trials on medicinal products for human use. This transposition introduced new provisions
aiming to harmonize the level of protection of research subjects regardless of the health product that is the
subject of the biomedical research (BMR). BMR regulations on medical devices (MDs) and in vitro
diagnostic medical devices (IVMD) were therefore modified. The investigator undertakes to conduct this
study in accordance with public health law 2004-806 of 9 August 2004 relating to biomedical research, the
implementing decree 2006-477 of 26 April 2006, as well as related ordinances and decisions. The rules of
Good Clinical Practice (GCP) for biomedical research will also be applied.

Methodology
Comparative crossover trial in two treatment periods:
Diabeloop treatment and usual treatment period combined with
real-time continuous glucose measurement, randomized,
open-label, controlled, interventional, national and multicenter.
Medical condition or
pathology studied
Type 1 Diabetes
Medical device being
evaluated
Experimental group: Diabeloop closed loop system
composed of DexcomTM G5 sensor (Dexcom Inc., San Diego,
CA) + Smartphone (remote control) in which the Diabeloop
algorithm is integrated + CellNovo patch pump and Kaleido
patch pump for Arm 2. A remote monitoring system is provided
for remote monitoring by a healthcare team.
Control group: Open loop system consisting of the patient’s
usual insulin pump pre-programmed with the usual treatment +
DexcomTM G5 interstitial glucose level sensor (CGM).
Primary objective To assess whether the Diabeloop system's regulatory algorithm provides superior glucose control than usual insulin pump therapy over a 12-week period.
Secondary objectives
Secondary objectives:
Comparison day and night for 12 weeks, of glycemic control with insulin administration by the Diabeloop system versus the usual personal algorithm of the type 1 diabetic patient: 1. Efficacy: Evaluate the superiority of glycemic control with the Diabeloop system for 12 weeks compared to the patient's usual personal algorithm. 2. Safety: Assess night and day safety of glycemic control with the Diabeloop system versus the patient’s usual treatment in terms of episodes of hypoglycemia and severe hyperglycemia. 3. Benefit: Determine the percentage of time spent in the system in functional mode, and the acceptance of the system by patients.
Primary endpoint The primary endpoint will be the time spent in the 70/180 mg/dl target measured continuously for 12 weeks with Dexcom™ G5 CGM.
Secondary endpoints
1. Efficacy:
● Time spent in hypo <70 mg/dl measured continuously for 12 weeks with the DexcomTM G5 CGM.
● Percentage of time spent in intervals [70-180] mg/dl, [80-140] mg/dl, > 180 mg/dl during nights and over 24h for 12 weeks.
● Measurement of HbA1c at the beginning and end of each treatment period.
● Average blood glucose over the entire period. ● Calculated risks of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia

(LBGI, HBGI) over the entire 12-week period. ● Total insulin intakes during the tests. ▪ Assessment of the coefficient of variation of glycemia
(Monnier et al, Diabetes Care 2016 Dec 30) 2. Safety:
● Number of hyperglycemic episodes defined by the American Diabetes Association (ADA):Severe hyperglycemia > 360 mg/dl (20 mmol/l) as measured by DexcomTM G5 CGM or significant ketosis (plasma ketone> 3 mmol/l).
● Number of hypoglycemic episodes, defined by any crossing of the threshold of 60 mg/dl (3.33 mmol/l), 70 mg/lL (3.9 mmol/l), and <54 mg/dl (3 mmol/l) measured by the DexcomTM G5 CGM.
● Number of severe hypoglycemic events requiring intervention of a third party for sugaring.
● Number of severe hypoglycemic events with loss of consciousness.
● Number of hospitalizations for severe hypoglycemia or ketoacidosis.
● Number of sugarings and the amount of carbohydrate ingested in the last week of each treatment period.
▪ Number of technical incidents causing closed loop interruptions.
3. Benefit:
● Percentage of time spent in closed loop in functional mode.
▪ For use and acceptance, a satisfaction questionnaire is provided on the daily management of diabetes, the change of daily life with the system and the fear of hypoglycemia.

Study work flow
The study will be conducted as a crossover trial, with two different treatment periods of 12 weeks separated by a wash-out lasting at least 8 weeks.
According to the order of the draw, patients will be equipped with either the Diabeloop system or the usual system
Study visits are described below:
1.
1. Inclusion visit V1:
2.
During the V1 visit, the investigator collects the consent of the patient meeting the criteria for inclusion and non-inclusion, signed and dated. DexcomTM G5 sensor and CellNovo external insulin pump will be installed during this visit for a two week run-in period to familiarize the patient with the use of the Cellnovo pump and to educate them to best adapt their treatment with the sensor data. The patient will be trained in the use of the Dexcom G5 continuous glucose sensor and the CellNovo external insulin pump.
2. Pilot study (visit V1bis):
This sub-study has three objectives: a. Optimize the algorithm's self-learning by evaluating the
convergence of "real-life" parameters with patient data from several weeks.
b. Experimentation of the possible "adjustments" of the
Page 13 of 145

"aggressiveness of the algorithm" accessible to caregivers and / or patients
c. Check the operation of the remote monitoring system The evaluation criterion:
a. Time spent in hypoglycemia (<50 mg/dl, <70 mg/dl), time spent in hyperglycemia, comparison of patient parameters at the beginning and end of closed loop therapy.
a. Operation of the platform: doctor / patient connection, synchronization of patient data, data display, alarm transmission / reception …
This sub-study will be conducted only at the University Hospital of Grenoble and at the Hospital Center Sud-Francilien for a period of 3 to 4 weeks at home with 6 to 8 patients (3 to 4 patients per center) recruited for the closed loop / open loop crossover trial who would like to participate in the pilot study. The six to eight patients will be equipped with a new Dexcom G5 sensor and a CellNovo insulin pump driven by a Smartphone (Android) in which the Diabeloop algorithm is integrated.
The doses of insulin prescribed by the Diabeloop algorithm will be administered to the patient automatically via the pump controlled by the Smartphone. Patients will be followed by a healthcare team 24 hours a day via the "myDiabeloop.fr" platform as well as a team of engineers in case of technical problems.
The patient will be admitted to the study center on D1 to test the Diabeloop system at home for a period of 3 to 4 weeks. As the patient is in a closed loop, placing under the Diabeloop system will be performed during a conventional hospital stay of 48 to 72 hours depending on the specific needs of each patient. During this period of hospitalization, the healthcare team, in collaboration with the engineers, guarantees and validates the patient's ability to manage his Diabeloop system on a daily basis.
Diabeloop engineers provide, in person or by telephone, at the request of the study center, the initial technical training of the patient (explanation of the handling of the pump, the Smartphone and the sensor, use of consumables, what to do in case of alarms ... ), prior to hospitalization. This makes it possible to familiarize the patient upstream with the system, to answer questions and address possible apprehensions. This initial technical training, prepared by a delivery of the Diabeloop user manual, to assess the patient's ability to manage his treatment autonomously, is reviewed with the engineer during hospitalization and before discharge, in collaboration with the hospital team.
At the end of the hospitalization, the healthcare team gives the necessary consumables to the patient for a period of three or four weeks and a data collection booklet. Medical, paramedical and technical assistance are set up via

remote monitoring for:
- Continuous assessment of treatment,
- Medico-technical follow-up
- 24 hours a day by nurses and engineers
- Technical and safety monitoring. A phone call from the healthcare team will be made within 48 hours after the start of the pilot study at home. The patient is seen by his healthcare team at the study center, the first week after leaving the hospital, then the second week and the 3rd or 4th week after leaving the hospital for the end of the pilot study.
At the end of the pilot study, an exploratory analysis of efficacy and safety will be carried out. A full report will be submitted to Data and Safety Monitoring Board to review the benefit / risk ratio.
3. Randomization visit (V2):
Patients with the ability to manage their daily treatment with CGM data and the Cellnovo pump will be able to test the closed loop and the open loop. Otherwise the included patients will be considered as a screen failure. To find out the order of the tests, the investigator randomizes patients via the electronic CRF into 2 arms:
- Arm 1: The patient will be closed loop in the 1st period and open loop in the 2nd period.
- Arm 2: The patient will be in open loop in the 1st period and closed loop in the 2nd period.
3. The randomization will be stratified by center.
4. Closed or open loop start visit (V3):
For the treatment period with the Diabeloop closed-loop system, the patient will be equipped with a Dexcom G5 glucose sensor, a Smartphone with a Diabeloop application for automatic prescriptions (basal and bolus) and the Cellnovo pump (for arm 1) or Kaleido pump (for arm 2) which delivers insulin continuously. The usual treatment period: the open loop system consists of the patient’s usual insulin pump pre-programmed with the patient’s usual treatment previously prescribed by the doctor. The patient will be equipped with a CGM Dexcom G5 for continuous measurements of interstitial glucose levels.
a. Closed loop treatment period:
The patient will be admitted to the study center on D1 to test the Diabeloop home system for a period of 12 weeks. As the patient will be in a closed loop, set-up of the Diabeloop system

will be carried out during a conventional hospitalization of 24h including overnight or 48h according to the specific needs of each patient. A hospitalization of 48h will be necessary to train arm 2 in the use of the Kaleido pump. During this period of hospitalization, the patient will receive training in the Diabeloop system consisting of the terminal, the Dexcom sensor, the Cellnovo pump for arm 1 and the Kaleido pump for arm 2. The healthcare team, in collaboration with the engineers, guarantees and validates the patient's ability to manage his Diabeloop system on a daily basis. Diabeloop engineers generally provide face-to-face or telephone training, at the request of the study center, for the initial technical training of the patient (explanation of the handling of the pump, the smartphone and the sensor, use of consumables, action to be taken in case of alarms ...), prior to hospitalization. This makes it possible to familiarize the patient upstream with the system, to answer questions and address possible apprehensions. This initial technical training, prepared by a delivery of the Diabeloop user manual, to evaluate the patient's ability to manage his treatment autonomously, is reviewed during hospitalization and before discharge, in collaboration with the hospital team.
At the end of the hospitalization, the healthcare team gives the patient:
- necessary consumables for a period of three months
- a data collection booklet
- the user manual version 5 of 25/04/2017 for arm 1
- the user manual version 8 of 26/10/2017 for arm 2.
Medical, paramedical and technical assistance are set up via remote monitoring for:
- Continuous assessment of treatment,
- Medico-technical follow-up
- 24 hours a day by nurses and engineers
- Technical and safety monitoring. A phone call from the healthcare team will be made within 48 hours after the start of the home study. The patient is reviewed by his or her study team, 1 week after leaving the hospital, 2 weeks later and every 3 weeks until the end of the session.
b. Open loop treatment period:
The patient will be admitted to the study center on D1 for a 12-week session at home with his usual treatment programmed into his usual insulin pump combined with the DexcomTM G5 CGM.
The healthcare team guarantees and validates the patient's ability to manage his treatment with his usual pump combined with the Dexcom G5 CGM on a daily basis. She gives the necessary supplies to the patient for a period of three months and a data collection booklet.

A follow-up visit is scheduled every 3 weeks until the end of the open-loop session.
c. End of study visit:
At the end of the study, the patient will be asked to complete a satisfaction questionnaire and visual analogue scales.
d. Wash-out period:
A washout period of at lrast 8 weeks is provided between the two open and closed loops. Patients will keep the DexcomTM G5 sensor and their usual insulin pump.
Justification of the number of
patients
The primary endpoint is the time spent in the [70-180] mg/dl
target for 12 weeks with the Dexcom ™ G5 CGM. Fifty
evaluable patients will be able to show, with the clinical
hypotheses observed in study SP6.2 and with a first species
risk α = 0.05 (bilateral situation), a difference between the two
groups with a satisfactory statistical power greater than 94%.
Conclusion:
In order to have at least 50 evaluable patients, 60 patients will be included in this study. Number included: 71 patients
Preliminary statistical analysis
In order to be able to have safety data as soon as possible, a preliminary analysis will be conducted after the 1st cross-over period, i.e., in a parallel plan situation (closed loop vs. open loop).
Statistical analysis
a. Safety analysis set: all randomized patients exposed at least once during the study
b. Efficacy analysis set (modified ITT population): all randomized patients who completed the 2 evaluation sessions (open and closed loop).
The analysis will be performed on the modified ITT population. The primary endpoint will be the time spent in the 70/180 mg/dl target measured continuously for 12 weeks with Dexcom ™ G5 CGM. The null hypothesis tested will be: absolute intra-patient variation between the percentage of time spent in the glycemic intervals closed loop - open loop = 0. The comparison of the 2 sessions will be carried out for the continuous variables using an analysis of variance model for cross-over design (subject to compliance with the application conditions), including the HbA1c value at the start of each period as adjustment variable. For the binary variables, the 2 sessions will be compared using a conditional logistic regression model including the HbA1c value at the start of each period as adjustment variable.

I - RATIONALE OF THE DIABELOOP PROJECT
I. 1. Type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune condition affecting insulin-secreting beta cells in the
pancreas. The auto-immune reaction completely destroys the beta cells leading to an inability of the
pancreas to make insulin. This results in the development of diabetes, whose only treatment is the
administration of insulin. Without insulin, death occurs from ketoacidosis. Even with all the
progress that has been made in insulin therapy, there is room for improvement and today it is still
difficult to achieve perfect long-term blood glucose control. The patient’s health and quality of life
must dodge around two pitfalls: chronic glycemic imbalance, evaluated by quarterly testing of
HbA1c: the DCCT study (1) found an exponential relation between mean HbA1c values over a 10-
year period, and the occurrence of disease-specific microvascular (retinopathy, nephropathy) and
neuropathic complications, in addition to an increased risk of macrovascular complications
(coronary insufficiency, arteritis and stroke). Conversely, this study also found an exponential
relation between lower HbA1c values and increased risk of severe hypoglycemia with sudden loss
of consciousness, convulsions and coma. In addition to the specter of these immediate or longer
term threats, it is necessary to emphasize the daily burden of diabetes management and the great
difficulty of adhering to it perfectly in the long term, which often has a significant impact on quality
of life, both family and professional, and is a frequent cause of distress, depression and partial
abandonment of therapy (2).
Insulin is the mainstay of DT1 treatment. As insulin is destroyed by the digestive juices, it must be
administered by the parenteral route. For practical reasons it is administered subcutaneously, which is
unable to mimic the physiological portal route. This results in delayed bioavailability which creates
problems of anticipation imperfectly improved by the development of rapid-acting insulin analogues.
Insulin must be administered in a way that attempts to reproduce its physiological secretion and
cover two different types of requirement:
Basal requirement: independently of food intake, hepatic glucose production occurs between
meals and during the night. This is regulated by basal insulin secretion, which is absent in DT1. The
so-called slow-acting insulins are used to replace and mimic this basal insulin secretion. These
insulins are modified so that their subcutaneous diffusion extends over 12 or 24 hours.
a) The arrival of the slow insulin analogs heralded a major breakthrough because these
insulins have little or no peak, a fairly flat action profile, and better day-to-day reproducibility than
classic NPH insulins (4). However there is considerable inter-patient and especially intra-patient
variability from day to day, arising from the persistent variability of the pharmacokinetics and
Page 30 of 145

pharmacodynamics of these insulins. Furthermore, these insulins cannot adapt to the physiological
variations in insulin sensitivity over a 24-h period, which result in lower insulin requirements
during the first part of the night, abruptly increasing toward dawn (“dawn phenomenon”) (5), and
intermediate during the day. These variations can be quite large in a same subject and compromise
satisfactory control of basal blood glucose levels. In addition to these day-night variations, other
occasional abrupt variations can occur, such as those induced by physical activity. Physical activity
causes a delayed and prolonged decrease in insulin requirements, according to its intensity, for
which a slow-acting insulin administered the previous evening is unsuited. Anticipation strategies,
more or less adapted, have therefore been proposed to patients (reduce the nearest rapid insulin
prandial bolus and/or have a carbohydrate snack).
b) Continuous subcutaneous infusion of a rapid insulin analogue via insulin pump has
been an important advance for some patients. This technique makes it possible to program different
basal rates over a 24-h period according to the patient’s insulin requirements, and to reduce the
basal rate “on demand”, according to pre-established algorithms, when an unplanned physical
activity occurs. Furthermore, continuous insulin infusion improves day-to-day variability in fasting
blood glucose, as reflected in the significantly smaller standard deviations of average fasting
glucose levels and, correlatively, hypoglycemia (6) and, ultimately, HbA1c (7) compared to
multiple injections. Nevertheless the results are still imperfect, with poor reproducibility of fasting
blood glucose control and persistent day-to-day variability that may be significant in some patients.
This exposes patients either to a risk of hypoglycemia, especially during the night, or to chronic
intermediate hyperglycemia, according to the strictness of the chosen control option. The reasons
for this persistent variability are multiple and poorly understood:
• Related to the pump: the pumps currently on the market are syringe pumps. While the
accuracy of the pump measured over a 24-hour period is generally good, the situation is quite
different when measured over periods of a few minutes, where inaccuracies of 18-34% have been
observed in different models of pumps. This phenomenon is related to the elasticity of the plastic
syringe whose plunger progresses by fits and starts (stick-slip effect).
• Related to the catheter: besides minor problems of dislodging, bending or occlusion, it
should also be considered that insulin traveling through a 60cm catheter may stagnate for several
hours, and undergo degradation leading to partial inactivation. The impact of these phenomena on
observed blood glucose variability is not fully understood, but they might underlie some
unexplained episodes of fasting hyperglycemia whose frequency seems to vary according to the
rapid analogue used (8).

• Related to the intradermal cannula: The patient’s position (lying on the cannula while
asleep, or leaning forward during a meal and administering a bolus) can significantly delay effective
diffusion of insulin into subcutaneous tissue. The same is probably true of the thickness of the
subcutaneous tissue.
• Related to the insulin: the bioavailability of insulin analogues administered by the
subcutaneous route is imperfect.
• Related to the patient: unpredictable variability in insulin sensitivity over the 24 hour
period.
Current possibilities for making technical improvements are based on a system of continuous
insulin administration capable of automatically correcting episodes of unforeseeable glucose
variability according to predetermined, patient-specific algorithms.
c) Insulin requirements during meals: The insulin requirement for a meal depends on
the amount of carbohydrate ingested: studies (9), have demonstrated a simple linear relationship
between the amount of carbohydrate ingested and the insulin dose required for their storage. This
has led to the development of personalized algorithms, either empirical or based on the patient’s
weight and an approximate estimate of their overall insulin sensitivity (10). Each patient thus has an
“insulin/carbohydrate ratio”. In current practice, the correctness of this approach, as long as the
patient is trained to correctly estimate carbohydrate intake, has recently been demonstrated by an
analysis of postprandial glucose levels observed after several thousand meals: mean PPG values are
very close to the recommended physiological target (1.40 g/l) regardless of the time of the meal or
the amount of carbohydrate ingested (10). There is, of course, a fairly high variability of blood
glucose values around a correct average, which is probably due to the imprecision of patient-
estimated carbohydrate intake, again highlighting the utility of a system capable of
automatically correcting unforeseeable episodes of glucose variability.
d) Insulin requirements during physical activity: Physical activity is accompanied by
a reduction in insulin requirements that can extend beyond the end of the activity. In practice, this is
a major cause of hypoglycemia when it is not anticipated. Algorithms capable of anticipating this
temporary reduction in insulin requirements have been developed and validated. They all involve a
reduction in the rapid insulin meal bolus closest to the time of the activity if the activity is close to a
meal and take into account the presumed intensity of the activity (11). Algorithms that temporarily
reduce the basal rate are also proposed when the activity will take place far from the meal (12). The

interest of this type of approach is undeniable but the problem of accuracy and patient anticipation
remains.
In general, significant progress has been made in the management of DT1. In France, the mean
HbA1c of a national representative sample of DT1 patients is 7.9% (3), which is not too bad compared to
mean HbA1c values of DT1 patients at baseline in large studies like DCCT (8.8%) or DAPHNE (9.3%).
Nevertheless, 38% of patients had HbA1c > 8%, i.e., an average blood glucose value associated with a
very high risk of future complications.
The best method currently available for routine use is continuous insulin pump therapy with a
rapid insulin analogue and a personalized algorithm of the patient’s basal rates, prandial
requirements and physical activity. However, there is still day-to-day variability, which can be quite
considerable, and which hinders the achievement of a good average glycemic equilibrium and is the
main determinant of the risk of hypoglycemia. This risk of hypoglycemia is the limiting factor in
good glycemic control (13). It only now seems possible to overcome this “therapeutic wall” thanks
to the development of hybrid closed loop systems that can automatically prevent or correct
unexpected glucose variability.

The innovative features of the Diabeloop project revolve around two main themes:
1. The blood glucose control algorithm
The heart of the system, this algorithm is the first part of the Diabeloop project which offers a
strong innovation compared to the state of the art.
2. The Diabeloop system
As a whole, the Diabeloop system will in itself be innovative and at the cutting edge of technology.
Although the Diabeloop project is not the only project focusing on diabetes (see. § II.2. Other projects on
the same theme), at the present time there is no other automatically adaptive and functional system of
blood glucose regulation.
The Diabeloop is composed of several prototypes described below (Cf. § III. The components of the
Diabeloop project).
II. 2. Technical proposal
Recent technological advancements in the miniaturization of external insulin pumps and continuous
glucose sensors have paved the way towards the realization of an artificial pancreas, a real hope for DT1
patients and physicians.
The purpose of the Diabeloop project is to develop and clinically validate an automated blood
glucose regulation system. This system will comprise:
• A glucose sensor that “continuously” measures interstitial glucose levels.
• A pump allowing “continuous” delivery of insulin.
• A Smartphone with the features described below.
• An algorithm that determines the insulin doses to be administered based on interstitial
glucose levels, the information input by the patient and the treatment prescribed by the doctor.
• A remote medical monitoring service to monitor patient status. All patient data, and in
particular, interstitial glucose levels, insulin doses and intercurrent events, will be uploaded onto a
secure website accessible to the healthcare teams.
The Smartphone used in this project has several functions:
• Collection of data: storage and transmission to the control algorithm.
• Control algorithm with determination of insulin doses according to interstitial glucose
levels, treatment prescribed by doctor and information entered by the patient.

• A user interface for patients to monitor their treatment and input information.
• Secure data transmission to the healthcare team
II. 3. Other projects on the same theme
Several groups are working on the blood glucose control algorithm to create and validate an
artificial pancreas prototype, an innovative therapeutic solution for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. These
projects include:
European project AP@home (Bringing the Artificial Pancreas @ home), as part of the 7th
Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (7PC) (14).
Two closed loops (CL) were tested in parallel in comparison with the open loop (OL: patient’s
usual treatment) in 48 subjects followed for 24 h. Time spent in target was similar between the closed
loops and the open loop. Time in hypoglycemia was three-fold lower in closed loop (2%) than in open
loop (6%), to the detriment of average blood glucose values, which were higher in CL than in OL.
Compared to DIABELOOP, the loops used for the AP@home study did not include de facto
presence of physical activity, and the clinical investigations did not explicitly take into account this
factor which has a significant impact on blood glucose.
In September 2015 the AP@home group reported the results of a 2-month outpatient
crossover trial in 35 adult patients. The closed loop using an Accu-Check Roche Combo pump and
Dexcom G4 sensor was only operational during the night. The control group also used the sensor in
a crossover plan.
The primary outcome (time spent in 70-180 mg/dl target during the night) was significantly
improved in closed loop (66.7% vs 58.1%), with less time spent in hypoglycemia (1.7% vs 3%) and
in hyperglycemia, and no adverse effects (22).
In November 2015 this consortium reported the results of a trial similar to the one envisaged
here. This was a crossover trial in 58 patients of which 33 adults for 12 weeks at home. A Navigator
Abbott sensor and Dana syringe pump with tubing were used. Time spent in glycemic target 70-180
mg/dl (primary endpoint) was 11% higher in the hybrid closed loop (68±11% vs 57±14%), while
average blood glucose, HbA1c and time spent in hypoglycemia were also significantly improved.
No safety issues were reported (23).

JRDF Artificial Pancreas Project in the United States
Prof Kovatchev is the director of the Center for Diabetes Technology at the University of Virginia
and the investigator in a number of projects on the artificial pancreas, among which is the “JDRF
Artificial Pancreas Project at UVA” from 2006 to 2014. The algorithms developed at UVA were also
tested in AP@home (Cf. supra, iAP), partly also because of regulatory constraints.
These clinical trials differed in terms of number of subjects or focus on nocturnal control,
pediatrics. Between 2012 and 2014 there were 6 clinical trials: JDRF-1 (feasibility tests of outpatient
closed loop insulin delivery), Helmsley-1 (diabetes camp with remote hypoglycemia monitoring), JDRF-2
(multi-site randomized crossover trials and efficacy of outpatient closed loop system), NIH-1 (5-day tests
of the “bedside artificial pancreas”), AP@home with pilot tests for 5 nights, Helsmley-2 (closed loop
nights with the Unified Safety System during a diabetes camp), and a study in adolescents on omitted
bolus. The results of the algorithm are presented with the paragraph on the European AP@home project.
Physical activity is not explicitly taken into account.
DREAM project
DREAM project results were published in 2013 (15). The article presents the outcomes of an
algorithm based on Fuzzy Logic used in overnight sessions in adolescents at a diabetes camp
(randomized, closed loop versus open loop with “low-glucose-suspend”). The system is a “fully
automated, wireless closed loop with a learning algorithm, an alert module and a personalized
configuration”.
This group reported data from a randomized crossover trial of overnight control for 6 weeks
of home use in 24 patients aged 12 to 43 years. The primary endpoint was the time spent in
hypoglycemia < 70 mg/dl during the night. The primary endpoint was significantly reduced in
closed loop (2.5 vs 5.2%), as was the time spent in hyperglycemia > 240 mg/dl, with an increase in
the time in target 70-140 mg/dl (47.4 vs 36.4%). No adverse effects were reported, and in particular
no cases of severe hypoglycemia in the experimental group (24).
European Project PcDiab (PcDiab FP7-Health Cooperation)
The PcDiab project is not competitive with the Diabeloop project because it is based on bi-
hormonal regulation with insulin and glucagon (hormone with opposite effect to insulin). Currently,
glucagon is not sufficiently stable in soluble form to be used in pump therapy over long periods of several
days.
Page 36 of 145

“Bionic Pancreas” project from Boston University (E Damiano)
This is a study of bi-hormonal regulation published in The New England Journal of Medicine
(11) whose objective is to develop a bi-hormonal automated bionic pancreas allowing more
autonomy and better glycemic equilibrium for type 1 diabetics. This study reproduced the same
real-life conditions including meals and uncontrolled physical activity. The results are excellent and
the use of glucagon appears to be beneficial on two fronts: average blood glucose and
hypoglycemia. However, a major obstacle persists: currently available glucagon is unstable and
must be changed every 24 hours. For this reason, like the PcDiab project, the Bionic Pancreas is not
a direct competitor of Diabeloop because it is based on blood glucose control with two hormones:
insulin and glucagon.
One of the clinical partners in the Diabeloop project, Prof Eric Renard (Montpellier CHU), is also a
partner in the American and European projects. The American project has a considerable headstart, since
it began in 2006, and the European project, very sophisticated, enjoys a high level of funding.
Nonetheless, the Diabeloop project has significant advantages:
- First of all, a major strong point is the strength and involvement of a team like LETI, which
does not seem to have an equivalent in the two competing projects, and which should provide a
competitive edge in terms of the control algorithms, more robust than those used in the American or
European projects.
- The 9 clinical teams working in partnership on the project are used to working
together and have already demonstrated their involvement in the development of new technologies
(16).
- The Diabeloop system itself is a “semi-closed” loop, i.e., requiring patient intervention for
meals or unplanned physical activity. It is therefore a simpler project than its competitors, and more
directly operational, but open to future improvements.
Altogether, the Diabeloop SP7 project is a full-fledged part of the international competition
through its use of a proven and robust study design (crossover), over a period of 3 months day and
night. Its originality lies in its use of medical remote monitoring prefiguring its future routine use,
which reinforces the safety of the system, on the one hand, and its use of a patch pump combined
with the Dexcom G5 sensor to enhance the acceptability of the system, on the other hand.

11.4 . General structure of the Diabeloop project
The project is structured around 7 sub-studies whose interrelationships are indicated by
arrows in the following PERT chart:
Figure 4: Schedule of Diabeloop sub-studies
SP 0 – Project management: The purpose of this sub-study is to ensure good project
management, coordination of tasks, planning, and so on.
SP 1 – Administrative tasks: As part of the Diabeloop project, two clinical phases involving
study subjects are planned: one to collect data, and one for the validation phase. The aim of
this sub-study is to anticipate the various administrative tasks so as not to be held up by
unfulfilled legal obligations at the start of these phases.

SP 2 – Development of system components: The purpose of this sub-study is to develop the
different components of the Diabeloop system: the heart of the software, the connection of the
pump and sensor to the Smartphone and the user interfaces.
SP 3 – Data collection in the hospital setting: The purpose of this sub-study is the
acquisition and management of a database for the development of the algorithms. This
database must incorporate venous blood glucose measurements and interstitial glucose levels
determined by the Dexcom sensor at regular intervals, orders for insulin delivery by the
Debiotech pump and insulin levels in the blood. The database should also include insulin meal
bolus doses as well as the meal content, the reduction in insulin delivery in case of physical
activity, and the quantification of the physical activity.
SP 4 – Development of the control loop: The purpose of this sub-study is to develop the
control loop: state of the art and technology watch, study of identified research themes and
validation of algorithms on the basis of data collected in SP3.
SP 5 - Integration, qualification and overall system tests: The purpose of this sub-study is
to integrate the Diabeloop system from the components and features developed in SP2 and
SP4. The second purpose is to qualify the system in relation to the specifications given by
sub-study SP1.
SP 6 - Validation of the medical contribution: The purpose of this sub-study is to
coordinate the tests to be carried out at the different hospital centers in order to quantify the
contribution of the Diabeloop system in the treatment of diabetes.
The study presented in this protocol corresponds to sub-study 6_1, described below.
Sub-project 6 comprises 3 steps:
• SP 6_0: Initial testing of the Diabeloop algorithm over the prandial period and
physical activity

Exceptional Meals and Physical Activity.
SP 7 – Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of the Artificial Pancreas: This sub-study
aims to test the safety and security of the hybrid system in the home setting with remote monitoring
with a view to obtaining CE Mark registration.
III COMPONENTS OF THE SP7 PROJECT
The Diabeloop SP7 project will be conducted with the following components:
111.1. The terminal (Smartphone)
This will be used:
• To collect data sent from the glucose sensor every 5 minutes, store the data and send it
to the control algorithm;
• To receive data input by the patient: meals, announced CHO intake, physical activity;
• As a calculation unit for the control algorithm;
• To pilot the Cellnovo insulin pump;
• To display to the user and doctor new dose recommendations, stopping of basal rate
and/or sugaring to avoid hypoglycemia.
111.2. Blood glucose control algorithm
The MPC (Model Predictive Control defined above) algorithm designed by CEA-LETI is a
software program that determines insulin doses to be delivered according to interstitial glucose
measurements, data input by the patient (meals and physical activity) and the treatment prescribed
by the doctor (usual basal rates, prandial bolus, temporary basal rate reduction for physical activity
and sugaring to avoid hypoglycemia).
111.3. The DexcomTM G5 system
The DexcomTM G5 is a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) with Bluetooth low energy
wireless communication built into the receiver. It transmits interstitial glucose levels to the
Page 40 of 145
Diabeloop SP7 project Version 5.4 of 18/12/2017 RCB ID: 2016-A01198-43 Strictly confidential document, property of CERITD. Copyright CERITD. Reproduction strictly prohibited.
Diabeloop algorithm in the Smartphone. Insulin administration by the Cellnovo patch pump is
controlled by the Diabeloop algorithm.
The DexcomTM G5 is designed to continuously measure glucose over a range of 40 to 400
mg/dL and can be used for a maximum of seven days. It is identical to the DexcomTM G4 Share AP
CGM except for the receiver which can be integrated in a Smartphone via a Dexcom application.
As with the G4 ShareTM , it is contraindicated in association with medicinal products
containing acetaminophen (paracetamol) since these can alter sensor performance.
The DexcomTM G5 is composed of:
- a sensor with a disposable applicator
The Dexcom sensor is a platinum electrode coated with 3 membrane layers. It uses a 2-step
process to convert glucose into an electrical signal:
glucose + O2 gluconic acid + H2O2
H2O2 2H+ + O2 + 2e-
It is validated for up to 7 days of use.
- a transmitter
This is wireless and sends glucose data to the receiver. It locks onto the sensor receptacle and when it
is correctly installed, the sensor+transmitter become water-resistant.

The transmitter battery has a lifetime of about 6 months. The transmitter should be replaced when the
low battery signal appears on the receiver.
- a receiver
Figure 5: DexcomTM G5 receiver
This can transmit data up to a distance of about 15 feet (≈4.572 meters) at a frequency of 2.4
GHz.
Instructions for inserting the sensor and locking in the transmitter can be found in the
appendix.
- an application for Smartphone/tablet:
The Dexcom G5 Mobile application is designed to work with a Smartphone or tablet, thereby
offering even more options to measure glycemic trends and profiles.
111.4. The Cellnovo pump
The Cellnovo insulin pump is a high precision patch pump composed of a durable pump and a
disposable insulin cartridge.
For arm 1, the Cellnovo pump will have a wireless connection to the Diabeloop system and be
controlled by the Smartphone with the Diabeloop application.

111.5. The Kaleido external insulin pump
Following the technical incidents that occurred in arm 1 in patients equipped with the
Cellnovo pump during the closed loop, it was decided for safety reasons to replace the Cellnovo
insulin pump by the Kaleido patch pump in arm 2.
The Kaleido insulin pump is a high precision patch pump composed of a durable pump
(control unit) and a disposable insulin cartridge (consumable unit). The “consumable unit” is the
part of the pump in contact with the insulin; it is sterile and single-use. The control unit of the
pump contains the electronics that control the pump and ensure communication with the terminal
of the Diabeloop system. The pump patch is a velcro adhesive by which the skin patch is fixed to
the body of the pump.
The Kaleido pump obtained CE mark registration a year and a half ago. It is marketed in the
United Kingdom and the Netherlands and is in the process of being launched in other countries.
The design of this pump is modern and ergonomic. The technology depolyed to administer
insulin does not generate constant pressure on the insulin reservoir in the direction of the patient.
The pump is water-tight for 1 hour up to a depth of 1 meter, rated IP68 according to IEC standard
60529.
Kaleido insulin cartridges have been validated for a period of 84 hours of use. The Kaleido
cartridges contain 200 units. The accuracy of the Kaleido pump has been tested according to IEC
60601-2-24 for a basal rate of 1U/h and showed an error of -1.0%. Its dimensions are 12.5 mm x
50 mm x 35 mm and it weighs 19g. The Kaleido kit contains two pumps of different colors.
For arm 2, the Kaleido® external insulin pump will be connected to the Diabeloop system by
Bluetooth and driven by the Motorola terminal containing the Diabeloop application.
111.6. The open loop system (OL)
The open loop system consists of the patient’s usual insulin pump preprogrammed with the
usual treatment prescribed by the doctor. The patient will be fitted with a DexcomTM G5 CGM for
continous glucose measurements.
In current practice, the patient with type 1 diabetes is educated and trained to use a
triple blood glucose regulation system:
1. In basal state, that is, outside of meals and physical activity, the patient’s insulin
requirements are provided by the basal rate of insulin delivery by the pump, adapted
empirically and by trial and error by the doctor and patient. These basal rates depend
on the patient’s insulin sensitivity overall and throughout the day/night (four basal rates
Page 43 of 145
Diabeloop SP7 project Version 5.4 of 18/12/2017 RCB ID: 2016-A01198-43 Strictly confidential document, property of CERITD. Copyright CERITD. Reproduction strictly prohibited.
are often defined: 1st part of the night, 2nd part of the night, morning, and afternoon,
although there are wide interindividual variations).
2. At meals, an insulin bolus is necessary. The dose of insulin depends on the
carbohydrate intake. Patients trained in functional insulin therapy precisely evaluate
their carbohydrate intake and calculate the insulin dose accordingly (carbohydrates in
grams or in 10g or 20g portions) multiplied by the patient’s I/C index.
3. For physical activity away from meals, patients are advised to temporarily reduce their
basal rate.
111.7. The closed loop system (CL)
The closed loop system consists of the Cellnovo patch pump for arm 1 (Kaleido pump for arm
2) piloted by a Smartphone with the Diabeloop algorithm installed. The Smartphone communicates
with the DexcomTM G5 receiver by Bluetooth low energy allowing transmission, every 5 minutes,
of interstitial glucose levels to the Diabeloop software for calculation of insulin doses to be
administered.
The algorithm installed in the Smartphone is based on CGM data, the I/C ratio set by the
doctor, insulin sensitivity (weight, total insulin requirements), glycemic target (70-180 mg/dl), usual
preprogrammed basal rates, carbohydrate intake (high or low carbohydrate and/or fat), and physical
activity and its intensity. All of these data will be registered manually in the Smartphone by the
patient, except for the sensor data which are sent automatically to the algorithm.
The Diabeloop algorithm will serve as the basal regulation that will not be modified as long as
fasting and postprandial glucose remain within target range. If a glucose variation outside target
range is predicted within a 1-2 hour horizon, the algorithm proposes a preventive correction either
as an additional bolus, in prandial period, or a temporary basal rate reduction during other periods.
If despite this, hypoglycemia is predicted, the algorithm recommends a calibrated preventive
sugaring.

Figure 6: Artificial Pancreas Diabeloop system
The algorithm instruction will be emitted in the Smartphone by the application and the
treatment will be implemented as follows:
Every 15 minutes, the algorithm reassesses the quantity of insulin to be delivered and may
order an adaptation of the insulin dose (bolus and/or change in basal rate according to basal or
prandial period). In the absence of an instruction, the basal rate will remain at the usual rate initially
preprogrammed by the doctor at the start of the test.
The modification of treatment recommended by the algorithm will occur automatically via the
Bluetooth signal emitted by the terminal to the Cellnovo or Kaleido pump, which simultaneously
executes the algorithm instruction (injection or basal rate modification).
In some situations, despite a temporary suspension of the basal rate, the algorithm predicts a
hypoglycemic episode with a projection horizon of a few minutes and recommends a preventive
sugaring, calibrated according to the predicted level of hypoglycemia and the patient’s settings.
Patients are then supposed to take the recommended amount of fast-acting carbohydrate as soon as
possible.

III.6.a Configuring the regulation settings
Diabeloop is an “intelligent” system designed to continuously and automatically adapt the
optimum amount of insulin to prescribe. This contrasts with the usual insulin pumps like the
Medtronic or Roche Diabetes Care, where the patients themselves must modify the pump
flow rates according to the situation (sports, illness, stress, etc.).
With the Diabeloop system, the final user will see that his flow rates are automatically
modified according to the current and predicted blood glucose value:
- Either every 5 minutes, if a meal is announced or if the system predicts that the
hypoglycemia limit will be crossed,
- Or every 10 minutes, according to the trend of the current glucose values.
In order to secure the user and give him some control, four settings have been added to the
regulation system. The combined use of these four settings will have an effect on the insulin
doses prescribed. Therefore it is important to understand the impact that changing these
settings will have on the amount of insulin dispensed.
Thus it will be possible to change these settings independently of each other to better adjust
the behavior of the algorithm and ultimately the blood glucose balance of the patient.
In the framework of the Diabeloop SP7 clinical study, these settings will be modified
under the authority of medical staff trained in the use of the Diabeloop system.

Figure 7: Steps to access the regulation settings (click on the red box)
III.6.b Default configuration
After receipt and initialization of the Diabeloop system with the patient’s data, the “regulation
settings” menu is accessed as described below. The system will be delivered in the following
configuration:
Table 3: Diabeloop system settings
Setting Default setting
Responsiveness during normoglycemia Normal
Responsiveness during hyperglycemia Normal
Target blood glucose 110 mg/dl
Hypoglycemia limit 70 mg/dl
Weight Data entered during initialization
This default configuration is based on experience acquired with computer simulations on
virtual patients, test bench reassessments of real patient data, and during the previous studies
SP6.0 and SP6.1. It is this default configuration that was used during study SP6.2, where for
three days, it gave very satisfactory results in all patients, with the exception of two patients
where the system was “overly reactive” from the first day.
In general, in this type of patient who is highly sensitive to the action of insulin and therefore has an
increased risk of hypoglycemia, it will be possible for the caregiver to adjust the system to be less
responsive, by selecting “low” or “very low” responsiveness, in order to reduce this risk. The
opposite can also be done in case of hyperglycemia (the caregiver will adjust responsiveness to
“high” or “very high”), with respect to responsiveness during hyperglycemia or during
normoglycemia.
Notion of convergence of the settings: the determination of the level of responsiveness that seems
most appropriate for a given patient as the study progresses (choice among five levels) should
Page 47 of 145
Diabeloop SP7 project Version 5.4 of 18/12/2017 RCB ID: 2016-A01198-43 Strictly confidential document, property of CERITD. Copyright CERITD. Reproduction strictly prohibited.
ultimately result in a stabilization of the “responsiveness” setting at a given level for a given patient.
This stabilization over time towards a given level of responsiveness illustrates what has been defined
as a convergence of settings (in this case, a convergence of the responsiveness settings), and this
convergence of settings will form the basis of the optimization of algorithm self-learning.
For settings involving a quantitative variable (target blood glucose and hypoglycemia limit),
stabilization of each of these settings towards a given blood glucose value should also occur as the
study progresses, corresponding to what is referred to as the convergence of these settings.
III.6.d. Notion of responsiveness
The responsiveness is the room for maneuver granted to the regulation system to correct the
glycemic balance of the patient. This type of setting corresponds to the speed at which the
algorithm will correct blood glucose levels higher than the target, either already effective or
predicted by the system. Each of these settings has five levels: very low / low / normal /
high / very high. With high responsiveness, the system will correct hyperglycemia more
quickly, increasing the risk of minor hypoglycemia within 2 hours after the hyperglycemia.
With low responsiveness, hyperglycemia will be corrected more slowly, but the risk of minor
hypoglycemia is much smaller.
Figure 8: Responsiveness to correct hyperglycemia
III.6.a Responsiveness during normoglycemia
Responsiveness during normoglycemia is a setting that will adjust only the basal rate that the
algorithm wants to prescribe. The Diabeloop system will be able to adjust the basal rate every
10 minutes in order to bring the blood glucose value back to target range. To avoid an overly
large decrease in blood glucose and hypoglycemia, we limit the prescription of this basal rate.
Responsiveness during normoglycemia can be set to five levels: very low / low / normal /
high / very high. With high responsiveness, the system will tend to correct hyperglycemia
more quickly, increasing the risk of minor hypoglycemia within 2 hours after hyperglycemia.
Conversely, a low responsiveness will correct more slowly, thereby significantly decreasing
the risk of minor hypoglycemia.

Adjustment of the setting: responsiveness during normoglycemia
During the clinical study it will be possible to adjust this setting under the authority of the
medical staff in charge of monitoring the patient.
If it is noticed that the user has an average blood glucose value that is too high or too low
(with hypoglycemia), we recommend, before any change in the settings, to check the
reference initial daily insulin dose to make sure it is coherent with the patient’s theoretical
insulin requirements and the quantity entered in the system during initialization of the
terminal. If this value is coherent with the patient’s insulin requirements, then we recommend
adjusting the level of responsiveness during normoglycemia.
The main idea to keep in mind when adjusting the responsiveness during normoglycemia is
the following: the more I raise the level of responsiveness, the larger the dose of insulin that
will be dispensed (proportionality between the two).

Figure 9: Comparison of 3 levels of responsiveness during normoglycemia and the impact on
blood glucose values: default situation (middle), low responsiveness (left) and high
responsiveness (right). The default graph is based on actual data from a patient in Diabeloop
SP6.2 over 3 days in closed loop. Blood glucose and insulin values were modified by hand to
illustrate the impact of changing the setting (green dashed line is blood glucose, blue line is
the amount of insulin prescribed, red line is the hypoglycemia limit and orange line is the
hyperglycemia limit).
Raising the responsiveness during normoglycemia will not necessarily increase the basal
prescription. It might turn out that the basal rate prescribed is the same as the previous
one. Raising the responsiveness during normoglycemia is equivalent to saying “I allow
my algorithm to deliver a higher basal rate if it considers it necessary to do so”.
III.6.b Responsiveness during hyperglycemia
Responsiveness during hyperglycemia is a setting that will adjust the compensation bolus
doses that the algorithm wants to prescribe. The Diabeloop system will be able to prescribe a
compensation bolus autonomously by using the meal ratios entered during the initialization
phase.
Always for the sake of safety, responsiveness during hyperglycemia is introduced to limit the
amount of insulin in the compensation bolus dose that the algorithm will want to prescribe.
Like the responsiveness during normoglycemia, the responsiveness during hyperglycemia is
defined by the speed at which the algorithm will correct hyperglycemia. Responsiveness
during hyperglycemia can be set to five levels: very low / low / normal / high / very high.

To adjust this setting, it must be remembered that there is a proportional relationship between
the level of responsiveness and the amount of insulin dispensed: the higher the level of
responsiveness, the higher the amount of insulin in the compensation bolus.
By way of comparison, the responsiveness during hyperglycemia is the compensation factor
that diabetologists currently control for a given patient, and that no longer exists as such in
Diabeloop.
Adjustment of the setting: responsiveness during hyperglycemia
If a patient has an undesirable glycemic profile, such as too much hyperglycemia especially
“plateaus”, we recommend in consultation with the CERITD medical teams that you work on
responsiveness during hyperglycemia.
To authorize the algorithm to prescribe a larger compensation bolus you can raise this
responsiveness, which will increase the risk of minor hypoglycemia within 2 hours (Cf. Figure
11: “I raised the level of responsiveness during hyperglycemia” below).
Figure 10: Comparison of 3 settings for responsiveness during hyperglycemia: default
situation (middle), situation of low responsiveness (left) and high responsiveness (right).
Green dashed line is blood glucose, blue rectangles are the insulin boluses, blue line is basal
rate insulin injections, red line is hypoglycemia limit and orange line is hyperglycemia limit.
The data are from a patient in study SP6.2. Bolus doses and blood glucose values were
modified to illustrate the impact of changing the responsiveness during hyperglycemia.

are shown in tabular format.

Prescription time Insulin dose prescribed when
responsiveness is lowered
Insulin dose prescribed for

20:13 0.3 0.2 0.3
20:23 0.2 0.1 0.15
20:33 0.1
Raising the responsiveness during hyperglycemia will not necessarily raise the
prescription of the compensation bolus. It might turn out that the compensation bolus
prescribed is the same as the previous one. Raising the responsiveness during
hyperglycemia is equivalent to saying “I allow my algorithm to deliver a larger
compensation bolus if it considers it necessary to do so”.
Your patient systematically reaches the hypoglycemia limit after each compensation bolus
dose and receives a sugaring request. In this specific case you can reduce the responsiveness
during hyperglycemia. This will reduce the size of the maximum bolus dose that the algorithm
can inject (Cf. Figure 11: “I lowered the level of responsiveness during hyperglycemia”). We
thus avoid the sudden drop in blood glucose.
III.6.c Responsiveness during normoglycemia and hyperglycemia
In view of the results of the Diabeloop SP6.2 study, we think that for the majority of patients,
these two responsiveness settings will not be modified. However it is important to be able to
act on these settings for certain types of physiologies, particularly for patients who have
sudden unexplained drops in blood glucose.
Example:
For a young person not prone to hypoglycemia, who is aware of his hypogylcemia symptoms,
and has a fairly stable lifestyle, the recommended responsiveness settings will be “normal” or
even “high” if he wants to minimize his average blood glucose and therefore reduce his risks
of complications.
Page 52 of 145
Diabeloop SP7 project Version 5.4 of 18/12/2017 RCB ID: 2016-A01198-43 Strictly confidential document, property of CERITD. Copyright CERITD. Reproduction strictly prohibited.
Conversely, for individuals who are unaware of their hypoglycemia and subject to rapid,
unexpected drops in blood glucose, or rapid glycemic peaks due to stress, it is recommended,
in coordination with their diabetologist, to adjust the responsiveness settings to “low”.
The freedom to be able to adjust the level of both types of responsiveness, and not just one,
allows patients with hyperglycemic plateaus (> 200 mg/dl) to administer higher doses of
insulin, without which it would be difficult to descend from these hyperglycemic plateaus.
Currently, these mechanisms are poorly understood and our physiological model cannot
therefore correctly interpret them. It is recommended for these specific glycemic profiles not
to modify the responsiveness during normoglycemia but only the responsiveness during
hyperglycemia if necessary.
Other physiological situations may also require separately modifying the responsiveness
during normoglycemia and hyperglycemia.
III.6.d Target blood glucose
According to factors inherent to type 1 diabetes (inter-patient and intra-patient variability), the
target can vary without changing the way the algorithm will work to achieve it.
An individual with the profile of an “expert patient”, i.e., with a relatively stable physiology,
hypoglycemia awareness, a healthy lifestyle, a mastery of functional insulin therapy and
carbohydrate estimation, diligent with meal and physical activity announcements, will be able
to set a target range of [100-105] mg/dl with a hypoglycemia limit of 65 mg/dl.
On the other hand, for a patient living alone, with low hypoglycemia awareness, the
diabetologist will set the target at 130 mg/dl with a hypoglycemia limit of 85 mg/dl.
These settings “mirror” the diabetologist’s recommendations given to the patient as part of
standard diabetes management with a conventional insulin pump (or multiple injections).
Today in order to adjust the insulin doses, the diabetologist refers to the patient’s physiology,
age and blood glucose profile. These same principles are taken into account in the Diabeloop
system.
To remain in a situation of normoglycemia, the algorithm will use the target blood glucose to
adjust the strategy used and thereby correct any hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. The three
possibilities available to the algorithm are:
- Recommend sugaring if blood glucose is predicted to enter hypoglycemia range
- Calculate a basal rate to prescribe if blood glucose at time (t) is higher than the target
- Calculate a compensation bolus if blood glucose exceeds 180 mg/dl.
NB: When prescribing a compensation bolus, our algorithm takes into account the previous
events that led to a blood glucose value outside the target set by the user:
Page 53 of 145
Diabeloop SP7 project Version 5.4 of 18/12/2017 RCB ID: 2016-A01198-43 Strictly confidential document, property of CERITD. Copyright CERITD. Reproduction strictly prohibited.
- If a sugaring took place in the hour prior to the compensation bolus, the target blood
glucose is automatically raised by 20 mg/dl.
- If no event, such as a sugaring, took place before the compensation bolus, then the
target is not modified.
Modification of target blood glucose– Case of hyperglycemia followed by hypoglycemia
If the patient experiences hypoglycemia following a hyperglycemia, it is possible to increase
the target blood glucose.
The following example illustrates the effect that increasing the target blood glucose has on the
basal rate and the resulting alteration of the blood glucose profile.
The first graph represents the default situation: target blood glucose set at 110 mg/dl. In the
case of moderate hyperglycemia, the algorithm corrects it by temporarily increasing the basal
rate leading to hypoglycemia with a sugaring recommendation.
Figure 11: target blood glucose set at 110 mg/dl, increase in basal rate, modification of blood
glucose profile.
The second graph represents the same situation with a target blood glucose set at 120 mg/dl.
We can see that the algorithm decides to lower the amount of insulin delivered in order to
smooth the slope and ideally return to target without any hypoglycemia and/or sugaring.
Figure 12: target blood glucose set at 120 mg/dl, decrease in basal rate to return to return to
target range.
III.6.e The hypoglycemia limit
The hypoglycemia limit setting is used to determine the color displayed on the terminal. The
colors used to illustrate glycemic status are indicated below:
Page 54 of 145
Diabeloop SP7 project Version 5.4 of 18/12/2017 RCB ID: 2016-A01198-43 Strictly confidential document, property of CERITD. Copyright CERITD. Reproduction strictly prohibited.
- Red = hypoglycemia
- Green = normoglycemia
- Orange = hyperglycemia
Figure 13 : hypoglycemia limit
This limit determines what it called the sugaring limit at which the system makes a sugaring
recommendation because it deems the patient dangerously close to a hypoglycemic event. The
system makes a sugaring recommendation if:
- Interstitial blood glucose at time (t) is below the sugaring limit and the system predicts
that blood glucose at t+15 minutes will fall below the hypoglycemia limit that was set.
- The sugaring limit is determined by the hypoglycemia limit plus 20 mg/dl (and can
therefore range from 80 to 105 mg/dl). It cannot be configured by the medical teams
or the user. It will be automatically set when the hypo limit is modified.
- Modification of the hypoglycemia limit will be left to the user’s discretion according
to their habits. This setting can range from 60 mg/dl to 85 mg/dl.
III.6.f Weight
The last setting that can be modified by the user will be body weight. This is input during the
system initialization phase and used to calculate the sugaring factor.
A change in weight of less than 10% will not have a significant effect on the system and does
not imperatively have to be input into the system. However if weight gain or loss is more than
10%, the user must access the settings menu to input the new weight. For a patient weighing
76 kg, the allowed range of weight is therefore 68.40 kg to 83.6 kg.
III.6.g Changing the settings when average blood glucose is high
In which situations should the settings be modified:

Patients who already use an external insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor can
participate in the study.
Some patients may already be equipped with a Cellnovo insulin pump and a Dexcom G5
CGM. These patients can be included in the study. However, practically speaking very few
patients are equipped with the Cellnovo pump and G5 sensor.
Randomization:
Clininfo® in Lyon will develop and supply the electronic case report from (eCRF) containing
the randomization procedure. Patients will be assigned at random to one of the two groups
(arm 1 or arm 2). Randomization will take place 24 to 48 hours before the start of the first
treatment session.
The randomization will be stratified by center.
VI - STUDY WORK FLOW
Patients selected to participate in the study will have the visits described below:
V1.1. Pre-screening visit V0
Patient screening will take place at each hospital center in the diabetology department during
a routine medical visit. The investigator will inform patients who meet the inclusion criteria of
the study objectives, duration, and conduct of the study visits and will invite them to take part
in the study. They will be given a minimum of 24 hours to think it over.
Creatinine clearance will be checked (<30ml/min).
VI.2. Inclusion visit V1
During the inclusion visit, the investigator collects the consent of the patient meeting the
criteria for inclusion and non-inclusion, signed and dated.
DexcomTM G5 sensor and CellNovo external insulin pump will be installed during this visit for a two
week run-in period to familiarize the patient with the use of the Cellnovo pump and to educate them to
best adapt their treatment with the sensor data.
Dexcom™ Share AP CGM and Cellnovo insulin pump installation, education and calibration
will be performed by a nurse according recommendations of the respective manufacturers.

The patient will be trained in the use of the Dexcom G5 continuous glucose sensor and the CellNovo
external insulin pump by the healthcare team and/or engineer. User manuals for the pump and sensor
will be given to the patient along with a data collection booklet to be completed during the run-in
period.
The patient will be trained in:
- Use of the pump and software.
- Use of the continuous glucose monitor and software.
Patients will be advised to avoid taking paracetamol throughout the duration of the
study.
At the end of the visit, the healthcare team will assess the patient’s ability to manage his
treatment with the Cellnovo pump and DexcomTM G5 sensor, by using the assessment forms
on the use of the pump and sensor (see appendix).
Before the start of the two treatment sessions, patients will complete a “baseline”
questionnaire (see appendix) concerning their usual treatment with their external insulin
pump.
The following data will be collected:
- Demographic data (DOB, gender, family status, occupational category)
- Clinical examination (weight, height, BMI, waist circumference, SBP, DBP)
- Disease history (biological parameters, diabetes complications)
- Current treatment (insulin type and dose, basal rate)
- Glycemic targets
- FIT: portion units morning noon and evening
- Concomitant treatments
- Pregnancy test.
- HbA1c (on file if 4 months otherwise a blood sample assay)
VI.3. Pilot study (visit V1bis)
The objectives of this sub-study are:
Page 66 of 145

1. Optimize the algorithm's self-learning by evaluating the convergence of "real-
life" parameters with patient data from several weeks.
2. Experimentation with the manual "adjustments" of the "aggressiveness of the
algorithm" accessible to caregivers and / or patients
3. Check the operation of the remote monitoring system
Evaluation criteria:
1. Time spent in hypoglycemia (<50 mg/dl, <70 mg/dl), time spent in
hyperglycemia, comparison of patient parameters at the beginning and end of
closed loop therapy.
2. Operation of the platform: doctor / patient connection, synchronization of
patient data, data display, alarm transmission / reception ...
This sub-study will be conducted only at the University Hospital of Grenoble and at the Hospital Center Sud-Francilien for a period of 3 to 4 weeks at home with 6 to 8 patients (3 to 4 patients per center) recruited for the closed loop / open loop crossover trial who would like to participate in the pilot study. The six to eight patients will be equipped with a new Dexcom G5 sensor and a CellNovo
insulin pump driven by a Smartphone (Android) in which the Diabeloop algorithm is
integrated.
The doses of insulin prescribed by the Diabeloop algorithm will be administered to the patient
automatically via the pump controlled by the Smartphone. Patients will be followed by a
health care team 24 hours a day via the "myDiabeloop.fr" platform as well as a team of
engineers in case of technical problems.
At the end of the pilot study, an exploratory analysis of efficacy and safety will be carried out.
A full report will be submitted to the DSMB to review the benefit / risk ratio prior to the start of
the closed loop at the other centers.
The pilot study comprises four visits: Visit A, Visit B, Visit C, Visit D
1. Visit A
Visit A is the pilot study start visit. It will take place 1 to 2 weeks after the inclusion visit.
The patient will be equipped with the Diabeloop closed loop system by the healthcare team
during a conventional hospital stay of 48 to 72 hours depending on the specific needs of the
patient. During this period of hospitalization, the healthcare team, in collaboration with the

engineers, guarantees and validates the patient's ability to manage his Diabeloop system on
a daily basis.
Diabeloop engineers provide, in person or by telephone, at the request of the study center, the initial technical training of the patient (explanation of the handling of the pump, the Smartphone and the sensor, use of consumables, what to do in case of alarms, etc.), prior to hospitalization. This makes it possible to familiarize the patient upstream with the system, to answer questions and address possible apprehensions. This initial technical training, prepared by a delivery of the Diabeloop user manual, to assess
the patient's ability to manage his treatment autonomously, is reviewed with the engineer
during hospitalization and before discharge, in collaboration with the hospital team.
At the end of the hospitalization, the healthcare team gives the necessary consumables to the patient for a period of three or four weeks and a data collection booklet. Medical, paramedical and technical assistance are set up via remote monitoring for:
- Continuous assessment of treatment,
- Medico-technical follow-up

work properly, a request for a substantial amendment will be submitted to ANSM before
continuing the trial. The substantial amendment authorization application dossier will contain
the tests performed in case of modification of the algorithm, the DSMB opinion, and the
conclusions of the exploratory analysis and their analysis.
In the event that, at the end of the pilot study, no modification is to be made and no additional
tests are required, the sponsor will inform ANSM accordingly.
5. Practical implementation of the settings
After their inclusion in the study, patients will receive initial training on the general handling of the
Diabeloop system, based on information provided by the caregivers and Diabeloop engineers and the
documents given to them. Configuration of the system will be done as follows:
1. Actual practical training will begin during their hospitalization for the start of the study. After
equipping patients with the Diabeloop system, the proper functioning of the system will be
assessed several times a day by:
a. Examination of the blood glucose curves
b. Automatic measurements of time spent in normo-, hyper- and hypoglycemia during
the previous hours, and automatic measurements of average blood glucose
Caregivers have permanent access to the blood glucose curves and to these measurements via
the remote monitoring system “MyDiabeloop “. Patients also have permanent access to their
Page 69 of 145

blood glucose curves on the screen of their dedicated smartphone. According to these results,
it will be decided to maintain the “normal” configuration or to change it and then reevaluate it
in the next few hours or day. Discharge of the patient on the 2nd or 3rd day of hospitalization
will be decided according to the results obtained.
2. Thereafter, at home, the same procedure will be monitored remotely on a daily basis via the
“Mydiabeloop” platform:
a. Examination of the blood glucose curves
b. Automatic measurements of time spent in normo-, hyper- and hypoglycemia during
the previous hours, and automatic measurements of average blood glucose
If a new setting seems useful, the caregiver will contact the patient to have him input the new
setting via his dedicated smartphone terminal. This monitoring will be carried out by the
nursing team of the national remote monitoring platform centralized at Centre Hospitalier Sud
Francien (study coordination center) in coordination with the medical teams at each study
center.
This daily monitoring can also include at any time the analysis of any Secured Information
Messages (SIM) and their solutions through direct telephone contact with the patient.
3. At each study visit, the investigator will carry out the same procedure to evaluate glycemic
data and settings.
VI.4. Randomization visit (V2)
The randomization visit will take place 1 to 3 days after the end of the run-in period (at least 1
to 3 days after visit D for patients who participated in the pilot study).
Patients with the ability to manage their daily treatment with CGM data and the Cellnovo
pump will be able to test the closed loop and the open loop. Otherwise the included patients
will be considered as a screen failure.
Patients will come to the study center to find out the order of the tests. The investigator will randomize patients via the electronic CRF (Case Report Form) into 2 arms:
- Arm 1: The patient will be closed loop in the 1st period and open loop in the 2nd period.
- Arm 2: The patient will be in open loop in the 1st period and closed loop in the 2nd
period.
The randomization will be stratified by center.

a. Closed loop treatment period
(Arm 1):
Patients in arm 1 will be in closed loop for the 1st treatment period. Visit 3 will take place 1 to
15-30 days maximum after the randomization visit.
For the treatment period with the Diabeloop closed-loop system, the patient will be equipped with a
DexcomTM G5 glucose sensor, a smartphone with a Diabeloop application for automatic prescriptions
(basal and bolus) sent to the Cellnovo pump which delivers insulin continuously.
The patient will be admitted to the study center on D1 to test the Diabeloop home system for a period
of 12 weeks. As the patient will be in a closed loop, set-up of the Diabeloop system will be carried out
during a conventional hospitalization of 24h including overnight or 48h according to the specific needs
of each patient. As far as possible, we will try to start patients in arm 1 from a same center at
the same time during a conventional hospitalization, so as to promote group dynamics.
During this period of hospitalization, the healthcare team, including as far as possible one of the
nurses who will perform the remote monitoring, and in collaboration with the engineers if necessary,
guarantees and validates the patient's ability to manage his Diabeloop system on a daily basis.
Diabeloop engineers will provide, at the request of the study center, the initial technical training of the
patient (explanation of the handling of the pump, the smartphone and the sensor, use of consumables,
action to be taken in case of alarm, etc.), prior to hospitalization, either by telephone or face-to-face
during the inclusion or randomization visit. This makes it possible to familiarize the patient upstream
with the system, to answer questions and address possible apprehensions.
This initial technical training to evaluate the patient's ability to manage his treatment autonomously, is
reviewed during hospitalization and before discharge, in collaboration with the hospital team. This will
be assessed by using the assessment forms (see appendix).
At the end of the hospitalization, the health care team gives the necessary consumables to the patient for a period of three months and a data collection booklet. Medical, paramedical and technical assistance are set up via remote monitoring for:
- Continuous assessment of treatment,
- Medico-technical follow-up
- 24 hours a day by nurses and engineers
▪ Technical and safety monitoring.
A phone call from the healthcare team will be made within 48 hours after the start of the home study
to make sure the patient does not encounter any particular problems.
The patient is reviewed by his or her study team, 1 week after leaving the hospital, 2 weeks later and
every 3 weeks until the end of the session.

VI.21. Procedure for situations requiring a capillary glucose
measurement
Patients will be required to take a capillary glucose measurement in some specific situations:
- During the first 12 hours after initiating the closed loop, patients will be have to take a
capillary glucose measurement when they wake up, before and after each meal, and at
bedtime.
- Patients will be advised that paracetamol must not be taken during the entire duration of
the study. They will be given a list of medicines that contain paracetamol. However, in
the event that this occurs by mistake, they will be instructed to
o transition to manual control of the pump for 6 hours,
o measure capillary glucose 2 hours and 4 hours after taking paracetamol.
- If the patient gets symptoms of hypoglycemia, despite an interstitial glucose
measurement greater than 80 mg/dL, they must take a capillary glucose measurement.

Diabeloop SP7 project Version 5.4 of 18/12/2017 RCB ID: 2016-A01198-43 Strictly confidential document, property of CERITD. Copyright CERITD. Reproduction strictly prohibited.
- If interstitial glucose value is still below 80 mg/dl 20 minutes after a sugaring, the
patient must take a capillary glucose measurement.
- If interstitial glucose value is still above 250 mg/dl 2 hours after a bolus dose of insulin,
the patient must take a capillary glucose measurement.
VI.22. Action to take in case of ketosis
When fasting blood glucose is > 2.80 g/l with no obvious explanation, the patient must use a
test strip for acetonemia (plasma test strip) or ketonuria (urine test strip).
➢ In the absence of acetone (urine or blood) the patient will be instructed to use his
simple compensation (= correction) algorithms.
➢ Acetonemia or acetonuria occurring in a context of a capillary glucose value > 2.80 g/l
means there is ketosic decompensation. Insulin must be added (with an injection pen
until the infusion set of the pump has been checked and/or changed), in the following
manner:
Example for a urine test strip
+ + 5 units of insulin
+ + + 10 units of insulin
+++ + 15 units of insulin
For plasma acetone test strips
< 0.6 mmol/L traces
0.6 to 1.5 mmol/L + + 5 units of insulin
1.5 to 3 mmol/L ++ + 10 units of insulin
> 3mmol/L +++ + 15 units of insulin
In both cases, blood glucose should be checked 2 hours later and then monitoring should be
continued in the same way until normalization of blood glucose values.

VII DATA CAPTURE AND HANDLING
VII.1. Data capture
All information required by the protocol must be provided in the case report form (eCRF)
which allows real-time quality control of data by a clinical research associate.
The CRO designated by the sponsor for the electronic case report form is Clininfo in
Lyon, which provides CERITD with the eCRF together with supporting data management
software (error detection, missing forms, traceability, corrections, etc.). This electronic case
report form also allows very accurate monitoring of inclusions and thus an end-of-study
management and an improvement in data quality.
By agreeing to participate, the investigator undertakes to strictly comply with the study
protocol, Good Clinical Practice and the legislation in force. The investigator vouches for the
authenticity of the data collected in the study and accepts the legal provisions allowing the
study sponsor to set up a data quality control.
Data must be entered in the eCRF as they are obtained. Each missing data must be
justified.
The statistical analysis will only be carried out after verifying data input and coherence.
Data will be archived by the sponsor.
Patients in the study will be identified by their number and their initials on all study
documents. Named data on copies of source documents intended for study documentation will
be anonymized by appropriate means.
VII.2. Data monitoring
This trial will be monitored by a Clinical Research Associate mandated by CERITD, to
ensure the collection of accurate, complete and reliable data and compliance with Good
Clinical Practice and to provide logistical support to study centers.

VII.3. DATA ANALYSIS
After validation of the data, the database will be frozen and sent to the company RCTs in
charge of the statistical analysis.
VIII STATISTICAL ANALYSIS PLAN
VIII.1. Statistical analysis methodology
A detailed statistical analysis plan will be drawn up before freezing the database and will
be validated by the study sponsor and the principal investigator.
Analysis sets:
• Safety set: all randomized patients who were exposed at least once during the study
• Efficacy set (modified ITT population): all randomized patients who completed the
two evaluation sessions (open loop and closed loop).
General points relating to the descriptive analyses:
All endpoints will be analyzed descriptively by session (closed loop and open loop) using the
following statistics:
• for quantitative variables: number of missing values, non-missing values, mean, standard
deviation, median, 1st quartile, 3rd quartile, minimum and maximum.
• for qualitative variables: number of missing values, non-missing values, frequencies,
percentages for each modality (excluding missing data from the denominator).
VIII.1.a. Analysis of the primary objective
The analysis will be performed on the modified ITT population.
The primary objective is to assess whether the Diabeloop system's regulatory algorithm
provides superior glucose control than usual insulin pump therapy over a 12-week period.
The primary endpoint will be the time spent in the 70/180 mg/dl target measured continuously for 12
weeks with the Dexcom™ G5 CGM.
The null hypothesis tested will be: absolute intra-patient variation between the percentage of time
spent in the glycemic intervals closed loop - open loop = 0.

Diabeloop SP7 project Version 5.4 of 18/12/2017 RCB ID: 2016-A01198-43 Strictly confidential document, property of CERITD. Copyright CERITD. Reproduction strictly prohibited.
The comparison of the 2 sessions will be carried out for the continuous variables using an
analysis of variance model for cross-over design (subject to compliance with the application
conditions), including the HbA1c value at the start of each period as adjustment variable. The
measurement allowing the evaluation of the primary endpoint is provided by the DexcomTM
G5 continuous glucose monitoring system, in the two situations tested: open loop and closed
loop.
In the first situation, the interstitial glucose values are transmitted to the receiver of the
DexcomTM G5 system and in the second situation, the interstitial glucose values are
transmitted to the Smartphone of the Diabeloop system, which can generate orders as a
function of these data.
This is the currently recognized and widely used tool in all artificial pancreas studies. Other
continuous glucose monitors (Abbot and Medtronic) can also be used.
A descriptive analysis of the data will also be performed for the different periods of the
crossover and for the different sequences.
VIII.1.b. Analysis of secondary objectives
The analysis will be performed on the modified ITT population.
Comparison of quantitative variables will be carried out with an analysis of variance model
for crossover design (subject to compliance with the application conditions), including
including the HbA1c value at the start of each period as adjustment variable.
For binary variables the two sessions will be compared with a conditional logistic regression
model including including the HbA1c value at the start of each period as adjustment
variable.
VIII.1.c. Preliminary analysis
In order to be able to have safety data as soon as possible, a preliminary analysis will
be conducted after the 1st cross-over period, i.e., in a parallel plan situation (closed
loop vs. open loop).
This analysis will be performed on the safety analysis set.
The criterion used for the preliminary analysis will be the time spent in hypoglycemia < 70
mg/dl.
Page 95 of 145
Diabeloop SP7 project Version 5.4 of 18/12/2017 RCB ID: 2016-A01198-43 Strictly confidential document, property of CERITD. Copyright CERITD. Reproduction strictly prohibited.
The null hypothesis of non-inferiority to be tested will be: variation (closed loop – open loop)
in percentage of time spent in hypoglycemia < 70 mg/dl ≥ ∆ (non-inferiority margin set at Δ
= 2.5% – as per the Scientific Committee).
An approach using a two-sided 95% confidence interval will be carried out based on the
analysis of variance model including the HbA1c value at the start of each period as
adjustment variable:
If the upper boundary of the two-sided 95% confidence interval (closed loop – open loop) is <
∆, the null hypothesis will be rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis of non-inferiority
of the closed loop versus open loop.
If the upper boundary of the two-sided 95% confidence interval (closed loop – open loop) is <
∆ and < 0, a statistically significant difference will be demonstrated in favor of the closed
loop at a level of significance α = 0.05 (as per EMA guideline
(http://www.emea.europa.eu/docs/en_GB/document_library/Scientific_guideline/2009/09/WC
500003658.pdf). The level of significance will be obtained with the same analysis of variance
model.
The two groups will also be compared on the criterion of time spent in the 70 / 180 mg/dl
target using an analysis of variance model including the HbA1c value at the start of each
period as adjustment variable.
In addition to the statistical analysis on these criteria, a descriptive analysis will be performed
on the inclusion data and on the main evaluation parameters of the two groups after 12 weeks.
The results will be examined by the DSMB which can stop the study if this preliminary safety
and efficacy assessment is not conclusive.
VIII.1. d. Analysis of the pilot phase
The efficacy and safety data collected on the first 8 patients in closed loop will be examined
by the DSMB to determine whether modifications of the algorithm are necessary. In that case
an authorization application for a substantial amendment will be submitted to ANSM.
VIII.1.e. Conclusion of the study
The study will be considered positive if the following two hypotheses are demonstrated:
• Superiority of the closed loop versus open loop on time spent in the 70-180 mg/dl
target measured continuously for 12 weeks with the Dexcom ™ G5 CGM.
Page 96 of 145
Diabeloop SP7 project Version 5.4 of 18/12/2017 RCB ID: 2016-A01198-43 Strictly confidential document, property of CERITD. Copyright CERITD. Reproduction strictly prohibited.
• Non-inferiority of the closed loop versus open loop on the time spent in hypoglycemia
< 70 mg/dl measured continuously for 12 weeks with the Dexcom ™ G5 CGM.
VIII.2. Calculation of sample size
Justification of the number of subjects necessary for the primary objective of the study
The primary objective is to assess whether the Diabeloop system's regulatory algorithm
provides better glucose control than usual insulin pump therapy over a 12-week period. The primary
endpoint will be the time spent in the 70/180 mg/dl target measured continuously for 12 weeks with
Dexcom ™ G5 CGM.
The results on these criteria obtained in study SP6.2 are summarized in the following table, in
each of the three test situations (sedentarity, exceptional meals, physical activity). Powers
were calculated in each situation for N=50 patients analyzed, with alpha risk=0.05, two-sided
situation.
% of time spent in 70 / 180 mg/dl target

Exceptional meals group SP6.2
Physical activity group SP6.2
Situation Two-sided Two-sided Two-sided
Alpha 0.05 0.05 0.05
Closed loop 77.8% 80.5% 80.2%
Open loop 71.5% 54.3% 64.2%
Standard deviation 12.4% 17.8% 15.3%
Correlation 0.5 0.5 0.5
Number of patients 50 50 50
Power* 94% >99.9% >99.9% * : power calculations performed with SAS Power & Sample Size 3.1
A sample of 50 evaluable patients would be able to show, regardless of the situation of the
patient, a difference between the two groups with a statistical power greater than 94%.
Verification of statistical power for the preliminary analysis:
In order to be able to have safety data as soon as possible, a preliminary analysis will
be conducted after the 1st cross-over period, i.e., in a parallel plan situation (closed
loop vs. open loop).

The criterion used for the preliminary analysis will be the time spent in hypoglycemia < 70
mg/dl. Non-inferiority of the closed loop versus the open loop will be demonstrated on this
criterion with a power of 96%** and the following hypotheses:
• N=25 patients / group
• First species risk α = 0.025 (one-sided situation)
• Difference closed loop – open loop = -1.5%1
• Standard deviation = 3.7%1
• Non-inferiority margin ∆ (larger loss of efficacy / safety than can be tolerated) = 2.5%
(as per the Scientific Committee considering the mean values and standard deviations
observed in study SP6.2).
1 : value observed in study SP6.2
** : power calculations performed with Nquery Advisor 4.0.
Likewise, 25 patients per group would be able to show with a statistical power of 89%* a
statistically significant difference on the criterion: time spent in 70 / 180 mg/dl target during
12 weeks, with the following hypotheses:
• First species risk α = 0.05 (two-sided situation)
• Closed loop: 78.6%2
• Open loop: 66.8%2
• Standard deviation = 12.9%2
2 : value observed in study SP6.2
* : power calculations performed with SAS Power & Sample Size 3.1
Conclusion:
In order to have at least 50 evaluable patients for the primary objective and at least 25 patients
per group for the preliminary analysis, 60 patients will be included in this study.
IX Analysis of the methodological impact of changing the Cellnovo
pump at the end of the 1st crossover period
The methodological impact of the malfunctioning of the Cellnovo pump occurs at three
levels:
1. Impact on the preliminary analysis at the end of the 1st crossover period:
Page 98 of 145
Diabeloop SP7 project Version 5.4 of 18/12/2017 RCB ID: 2016-A01198-43 Strictly confidential document, property of CERITD. Copyright CERITD. Reproduction strictly prohibited.
Since all patients in the closed loop group of the 1st crossover period used the Cellnovo
pump, the first expected impact is a bias in the protocol-specified preliminary analysis at the
end of the 1st crossover period, i.e., in a parallel plan situation (closed loop versus open loop).
The criterion used for this preliminary analysis will be the time spent in hypoglycemia < 70
mg/dl; the null hypothesis of non-inferiority to be tested is: variation (closed loop – open
loop) of the percentage of time spent in hypoglycemia < 70 mg/dl ≥ Δ (non-inferiority margin
Δ = 2.5% as per the Scientific Committee). Since the Cellnovo pump malfunctioning only
concerned the closed loop where this pump was used, the impact of this bias is conservative in
that it only penalizes patients in the closed loop. Thus, if the preliminary analysis leads to a
rejection of the null hypothesis and therefore a demonstration of non-inferiority of closed loop
versus open loop, this conclusion can be considered robust. Only the intensity of the observed
effect (closed loop – open loop) can be considered quantitatively biased.
2. Impact on the duration of the wash-out period:
The Cellnovo pump malfunctions will lead to the use of a different pump for the 2nd crossover
period and a wash-out period that will be extended by 1 to 3 months. In so far as all included
patients will be concerned by this extension, and hypothesizing that a 3-month wash-out will
allow a return to baseline, the extension of this wash-out period will not have an impact on the
conclusions of the study, provided that this longer wash-out does not result in an increase in
the drop-out rate. The final end-of-study analysis will include a list of patients who withdrew
from the study with the times and reasons of study withdrawal, in order to assess whether this
extension of the wash-out period had an impact.
3. Impact on the conclusions of the final analysis:
The primary objective of this final analysis is to assess whether the Diabeloop system’s
regulatory algorithm provides superior glycemic control than usual insulin pump therapy over
a period of 12 weeks. The primary endpoint is the time spent in the 70-180 mg/dl target
measured continuously for 12 weeks with Dexcom ™ G5 CGM. The null hypothesis to be
tested will be: absolute variation intra-patient between the percentage of time spent in the
glycemic intervals closed loop – open loop = 0.
Because the Cellnovo pump malfunctions occurred only in the closed loop group of the 1st
crossover period, a quantitatively larger effect is expected for patients randomized in the order
CL followed by OL, than in the sequence OL followed by CL. In other words, the expected
impact is to observe a period effect, i.e., that the closed loop – open loop effect observed in
the 1st period is quantitatively smaller than that observed in the 2nd period. If the analysis of
the period effect shows a quantitative effect, i.e., the effects observed in the two periods are in
favor of the same treatment group and do not differ in intensity, any difference observed in
favor of the closed loop group can be considered robust, because this bias has a conservative
effect, i.e., in favor of not rejecting the null hypothesis specified in the protocol. However the
possible impact in such a case could be a decrease in the expected effect of the closed loop
relative to the hypotheses used for the same size calculation, leading to a non-rejection of the
null hypothesis.

DIABELOOP Sub-study 6-0 INITIAL TESTING OF THE DIABELOOP ALGORITHM OVER
THE PRANDIAL PERIOD AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY RCB ID: 2012-A01489-34.
PROTOCOL – SYNOPSIS
Coordinating Investigator: Dr. Guillaume CHARPENTIER
Principal Investigators: Prof Pierre-Yves BENHAMOU for meals and Dr Sylvia FRANC for
physical activity
Investigators:
1. Dept. of Endocrinology and Diabetology, Centre Hospitalier Sud Francilien, Corbeil-
Essonnes (91): Dr Sylvia FRANC, Dr Guillaume CHARPENTIER
2. Dept. of Endocrinology, Diabetology and Nutritional Diseases, CHU de Grenoble (38): Prof

Sponsor: Centre d’Etudes et de Recherches pour l’Intensification du Traitement du Diabète
(CERITD). Bioparc Génopôle Evry- Corbeil. Campus 3 – Bâtiment 5. 1, rue Pierre
Fontaine- 91058 EVRY CEDEX
Methodology: National, multicentric, interventional, controlled, open label.
Primary objective: To assess whether the Diabeloop algorithm provides better glycemic control
than the usual “manual” algorithm of a type 1 diabetic patient on pump therapy, during meals
roughly assessed by the patient, and during and after physical activity qualified as “moderate” or
“intense” by the patient.
Primary endpoint:
Time spent in glucose reference intervals.
Secondary objectives:
Meals:
• To assess the efficacy and safety of a prandial algorithm informed of carbohydrate intake
by the patient either quantitatively, semi-quantitatively or not specified.
• To determine the efficacy of 2 primer levels: 50% and 75%, on postprandial AUC and
occurrence of postprandial hypoglycemia.
• To assess whether one primer level is more adapted to a standard meal, a meal low in
carbohydrate or a meal high in carbohydrate.
• To assess the efficacy and safety of a prandial algorithm detecting meal carbohydrate
intake, with bolus omitted.
Endpoints:

• Measurement of interstitial glucose sensor and capillary glucose 2h, 3h and 4h
postprandial and AUC, in each situation tested, to evaluate efficacy and safety (time spent
in hypoglycemia);
• Comparison of interstitial glucose sensor and capillary glucose measured 2h, 3h and 4h
postprandial and AUC, in conditions of identical meals, for each primer level (50 or 75%);
• Comparison of interstitial glucose sensor and capillary glucose measured 2h, 3h and 4h
postprandial and AUC, in conditions of identical meals, for each primer level, in the three
configurations: quantitative, semi-quantitative carbohydrate intake and bolus omitted.

Study work flow:
GRENOBLE & TOULOUSE CENTERS:
Grenoble and Toulouse will test the prandial algorithm with several carbohydrate intakes and a primer of 50%
or 75% of the total bolus. Patient groups are described as follows:
Group I: patients have a meal with the usual carbohydrate intake. The meal bolus is according to
the current treatment.
Group II: patients have a meal with a "low" carbohydrate intake (50% reduction in carbohydrate
intake).
Group III: patients have a meal with a "high" carbohydrate intake (50% increase in
carbohydrate intake).
Group IV: patients of group IV have a meal with the usual carbohydrate intake but their bolus
will be omitted.
Inclusion visit V1: The study will be proposed to patients meeting the inclusion criteria. After
signing the informed consent form, the investigator will assign a group for each patient. The
dates of visits V2, V3 and V4 will be scheduled during the inclusion visit.
Visit V2: This visit will take place 24 hours before visit V3. Installation, calibration and education

of two Dexcom G4 ™ glucose sensors will be performed by a nurse according to the
manufacturer’s recommendations. The patient will keep the two sensors until the end of the study
(end of V4).
Visit V3 (patient control): The patient is admitted to the CIC at 9:00. The patient will be fitted
with two Dexcom™ G4 sensors and his usual insulin pump programmed with the usual algorithm.
The meal will be served at 13:00 and the patient will leave the site at 18:00. In the case where a
corrective bolus at 10:00 was not given, the meal can be served at 12:00. Bolus will be
administered 10 min before the meal for all patients. Capillary glucose measurements will be
taken every hour from 12:00 to 18:00 and in case of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Additional
capillary glucose measurements can be taken if necessary.
Visit V4 (algorithm test): The patient is admitted to the CIC at 9:00. The patient will be fitted
with his usual insulin pump programmed with the usual algorithm and two Dexcom™ G4 sensors.
Sensor measurements will be entered by the LETI engineer on the computer on which the test
algorithm is installed. The same meal taken at the “patient control” visit will be served at the
“algorithm test” visit and at the same time. The meal and type of meal will be announced or not
in the algorithm software, depending on the phase of the study. From that time onward, the
algorithm will propose insulin doses every 15 min until 18:00. Capillary glucose will be measured
every hour from 12:00 to 18:00, in case of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, and when the
sensors are removed. Additional capillary glucose measurements can be taken if necessary.
CHSF:
This center will test the glycemic control algorithm during physical activity of moderate (50%
VO2max) or high intensity (75% VO2max) for 40 minutes on a bicycle ergometer. Three groups
will be created for the different situations:
Group A: Patients in group A will practice an average physical activity (50% VO2max) with a
temporary basal rate reduction according to their usual algorithm (usually 50% reduction during
the test and for the next 2 hours).
Group B: Patients in group B will practice an intense physical activity (75% VO2max) with a
temporary basal rate reduction according to their usual algorithm (usually 80% reduction during
the test and for the next 2 hours).
Group C: Patients in group C will practice an average physical activity (50% VO2max) but
without a concomitant temporary basal rate reduction.
Inclusion visit V1:
The study will be proposed to patients meeting the inclusion criteria. After signing the informed
consent form, the investigator will assign a group for each patient. The dates of visits V2 and V3
will be scheduled during the inclusion visit.
Visit V2: This visit will last one day. The patient will be admitted at 8:00 and equipped with two
Dexcom™ G4 sensors and a heart rate monitor. For groups A and B, sensor data will be masked
so as not to influence the patient or care team. For Group C without basal rate reduction during
the physical activity test, sensors will not be masked so that preventive sugaring can be done if
necessary.
A calibrated meal is served at 11:30. The patient’s insulin dose will be administered according to
his usual algorithm. The physical activity test will begin 3 hours after the meal. It will be carried
out on a bicycle ergometer for 40 minutes at an intensity qualified by the patient as moderate
(50% VO2max) or intense (75% VO2max), after first implementing his usual algorithm, which
generally is as follows:
o Moderate (Group A): 50% basal rate reduction throughout the test and for 2 h afterwards.
o Intense (Group B): 80% basal rate reduction throughout the test and for 2 h afterwards.

At the end of this test the patient can return home. He must keep the two sensors until the next
morning. He will be asked to eat a calibrated dinner meal with administration of his usual insulin
dose as per the usual FIT settings. He must make a note of any hypoglycemic episode or
sugaring. Interstitial glucose measurements by the sensor will be continuously registered until the
next morning.
Capillary glucose will be measured before and 2 hours after the meal, in case of hypoglycemic or
hyperglycemic episodes, at 4 am to check blood glucose, and before the physical activity test.
Visit V3: 24-hour hospitalization
The same test will be repeated for each patient during this visit. The insulin pump will be
controlled by the doses proposed by the algorithm after manual validation by the investigator.
These will continue until the next morning, and the patient will spend overnight in the hospital.
The same meals as at the “Patient control” visit will be served at the same times.
Total number of subjects: 18 of which 6 patients at CHSF and 12 in Grenoble and Toulouse
Study start date : early March 2013
Inclusion period: 3 months
Total study duration: 4 months
Safety criteria: Clinical collection of serious adverse events, especially severe hypoglycemia
and ketoacidosis
End of study:
• Withdrawal of patient consent
• Decision by investigator in patient’s best interest
1. Results on the performance of the Diabeloop prandial algorithm
12 adult type 1 diabetics (9 men, mean age 35.6 (±12.7) years, duration of diabetes 19.8
(±12.7) years; HbA1c 7.3 ±0.8% were included. Time spent in target was 84.5 ± 20.8% (test
day) versus 69.2 ± 33.9% (control day) (p= 0.11). Time spent in hypoglycemia <70mg/dl was
0.2 ± 0.8% (test day) versus 4.4 ± 8.2% (control day). Blood glucose at the end of the test (5h)
was 127.5 ± 40.1 (test day) versus 146 ± 53.5 mg/dl (control day) (p=0.25). The insulin doses
did not differ, and no differences were observed between the 50% or 75% priming boluses.
Conclusion: In a semi-closed loop configuration, with manual primer bolus (25 or 50%
reduction), the Diabeloop algorithm V1 performed as well as manual bolus determination in the
postprandial period, without an excess risk of hypoglycemia. This allows the conduct of controlled
trials.
2. Results on the physical activity algorithm
The percentage of time spent in the range [70-180mg/dl] was equivalent for all tests controlled
by the patient or by the Diabeloop algorithm: in the afternoon following the physical activity:
57±20% vs 70±30% p=0.30, dinner (75±24% vs 76±30%) and night (66±28% vs 84±16%).
This was also true for the time spent <70mg/dl (afternoon: 12±21% vs 15±31%, dinner: 4±6%
vs 5±11%, night: 17±17% vs 6±11%). During test C, one patient required 5 successive
moderate sugarings, whether the test was controlled by herself or by the Diabeloop algorithm.

Conclusion: This pilot evaluation shows that the Diabeloop algorithm allows an acceptable
control of the insulin pump during physical activity. However, in the more complex situation of an
unanticipated physical activity, consideration should be given to further amplifying the preventive
sugaring function.

Study work flow:
1. Test of Diabeloop software interface on a Smartphone: The objective was to test data
transmission from the Dexcom™ G4 sensor to the Smartphone containing the Diabeloop
altorithm. This sub-study was conducted only in center 1 (Centre Hospitalier Sud Francilien in
Evry 91) and center 3 (Grenoble CHU) over one day from 8:00 to 18:00 in 2 patients (1
patient/center) recruited for the closed loop/open loop crossover study and who agreed to
participate in this ancillary study.
The ancillary study visit (V0 bis) took place after collecting the patient’s consent. The patient
kept his usual insulin pump with his usual algorithm. He was fitted with the Dexcom™ G4
sensor linked to the Smartphone integrating the Diabeloop algorithm.
This ancillary study had no therapeutic impact. At this visit we checked that data from the
Dexcom™ G4 sensor were registered in the algorithm. Dose recommendations were displayed
via the Smartphone. The treatment prescribed by the Diabeloop algorithm was not administered
to the patient.

2. Conduct of study SP6.1.A
This is a crossover study with two 24-hour hospitalizations separated by a wash-out period of at
least 1 week.
Inclusion visit Vo: The investigator collected the consent of the patient meeting the criteria for
inclusion and non-inclusion, randomized the patient to know the order of the tests and prescribed
Novorapid® insulin to the patient.
Visit V1 to install sensors: Two Dexcom™ G4 sensors were installed during an outpatient visit
two days before each 24-hour hospitalization. Patients were instructed to keep the sensors until the end
of each treatment period.
1st 24-hour hospitalization visit: According to the order of the draw, for 24 hours the patient had
either his usual treatment, or the treatment prescribed by the Diabeloop algorithm.
2nd 24-hour hospitalization visit: For the second hospitalization, the patient had either the
treatment prescribed by the Diabeloop algorithm, or the usual treatment prescribed by the
diabetologist.
The two hospitalizations were separated by a wash-out period of 1 to 2 weeks.
During each treatment period the patient was equipped with a Medtronic Paradigm VeoTM pump
which replaced his usual pump (except if the patient already had a Medtronic pump), an Actigraph (to
measure movement) and an Actiheart (to measure heart rate). The latter two devices evaluated physical
activity during the one-half hour physical activity step test during hospitalization.
During the open loop period, sensor data was masked so as not to influence the patient or the
investigator and to have results that were truly representative of the real-world setting without
continuous glucose monitoring. The patient monitored his blood glucose by capillary blood glucose
measurements before any compensation bolus or sugaring, as for his usual treatment.
During the semi-closed loop period, a Dexcom receiver was connected to the Smartphone by a cable
and the second was available to the doctor. Neither of the two sensors was masked during this period.
Statistical analysis: Fourteen DT1 patients (12 men, 2 women, age: 47.0 ± 9.9 years, weight: 75.9 ±
11.9 kg, duration of diabetes: 23.6 ± 11.7 years , HbA1c: 7.4 ± 0.7% ) were analyzed in a randomized
crossover trial including two 24-hour sessions starting at 10:00, either equipped with a standard
"Medtronic Veo" insulin pump preprogrammed with their usual treatment (OL, open loop) or
equipped with the Diabeloop system (CL, closed loop) with the MPC predictive algorithm. The
Dexcom G4 Platinum sensor was masked to the patient (OL) or connected to a Smartphone containing
the algorithm. Insulin doses proposed by the algorithm were administered manually to the patient
every 15 minutes. Each session included three standardized meals (70g CHO at 12:00 and 19:00, 40g
CHO at 08:00) and 30 minutes of moderate physical activity at 16:00. Bolus was delivered 10 minutes
before the meal as decided by the patient or after announcing the meal in the algorithm. Glycemic
control was evaluated based on the CGM data.

Performance assessment: Overall glycemic control was similar in the two sessions with a percentage
of time spent in 70-180 mg /dl of 66.0 ± 20.8% (CL) vs 59.1 ± 21.8% (OL) and average blood glucose
was 151 ± 27 vs 141 ± 43 mg / dl, respectively.
Safety assessment: the percentage of time spent < 70 mg / dl was lower in closed loop: 3.9 ± 3.7% vs
13.5 ± 13.6%, more specifically from 23:00 to 7:00: 0.0 ± 0.2% vs 21.6 ± 27.8% (p = 0.0002 ). The
number of patients with at least one event < 70mg /dl between 23:00 and 07:00 the next day was 1/14
in CL versus 8/14 in OL (p =0065)
Conclusion: This first clinical evaluation in the hospital of the Diabeloop algorithm demonstrated
ease of use and safety of the system, including a significant reduction in nocturnal hypoglycemia.
Continuous improvements to the algorithm will focus on improving the minimization of
hyperglycemia.
Safety criteria: Clinical collection of serious adverse events, especially severe hypoglycemia and
ketoacidosis

( measuring heart rate);
• Meals and physical activities will be similar in both periods;
• The same blood glucose meter (Medtronic Contour Next Link) will
be used throughout the duration of the study.
• Capillary blood glucose will be measured: before the bolus and 2 hours
after a meal, before the physical activity, in case of hypo or hyper-
glycemic episodes and when the patient and / or investigator deem it
necessary.
Study visits are described below:
1. Inclusion visit V1: The investigator collects the consent of the patient
meeting the inclusion and non-inclusion criteria, signed and dated. He
randomizes the patient to know the order of the tests.
The patient will be equipped with the DexcomTM Share AP sensor at this visit
for a 2-week run-in period to familiarize the patient to best adapt their
treatment with the sensor data.
2. Ancillary study (visit V1bis): Test of algorithm/system interface:
This study will test data transmission from the Dexcom™ Share AP sensor to
the Diabeloop algorithm uploaded on the Cellnovo Smartphone (handset).
This sub-study will be conducted only in center 5 (Grenoble CHU) and center
7 (Centre Hospitalier Sud Francilien in Evry 91) over one day from 8:00 to
18:00 in 2 patients or more if necessary (1 patient/center) recruited for the
closed loop/open loop crossover trial and who agreed to participate in this
ancillary study.
The patient will be equipped with a new Dexcom sensor and a CellNovo
insulin pump driven by its Smartphone containing the Diabeloop algorithm. The doses of insulin prescribed by the Diabeloop algorithm will be administered to
the patient automatically via the pump controlled by the Smartphone under the
supervision of a doctor and in the presence of an engineer.
3. Visits to install sensors V2 and V4 :
The patient will be equipped with a new Dexcom™ Share AP sensor 48 hours
before starting the open loop or closed loop according to the randomization.
The ActiHeart will be calibrated during this visit(centers participating in SP6.2.1 and SP6.2.3)
4. 72-hour hospitalizations V3 and V5 (CL or OL):
According to the order of the draw the patient will either be in OL or CL and
according to the study center, in a situation of: sedentarity, exceptional
meals or physical activity . 1. 2. 3. 4. 4.1 Situation of sedentarity:
The patient will be admitted to the study center before 8:00 and will remain in
the hospital in a secured setting for 3 days.
Meals (breakfasts, lunches and dinners) will be varied, reproducible, taken at
Page 131 of 145

fixed times and in a maximum of 30-45 minutes. The bolus for each meal will
be administered at the same time in both periods. 4.2 Situation of exceptional meals
This phase of the study will focus on variations in meals. The patient will be
admitted to the study center before 8:00 as a semi-outpatient, spending the
night in the hospital and eating lunch and dinner outside accompanied by
someone from the healthcare team.
Exceptional meals will be:
- High in protein and fat for dinner,
- Low in fat and difficult to calibrate carbohydrate at lunch,
- High in carbohydrate and fat for breakfast (with various pastries and
jam).
Meals will be taken at fixed times and will be varied, but reproducible and
identical in the two treatment sessions. The general nature of the meals will be
left free to choose according to the patient’s preferences.
The bolus will be administered at the same time in both treatment periods, and
the amount of carbohydrate ingested will be estimated and recorded by a nurse
or dietician from the study center.
4.3 Situation of physical activity
This phase of the trial will be based on varied daily physical activity tests. The
patient will be admitted to the study center before 8:00 as a semi-outpatient,
spending the night in the hospital and practicing physical activities on the
outside accompanied by someone from the healthcare team.
One or more daily physical activities will be practiced at a fixed time with an
intensity (moderate or intense) estimated by the patient.
Physical tests will be reproducible during the two treatment periods (practiced
at same time for the same duration), and will vary according to the patient’s
preferences.
Diabeloop SP6.2.3 will use the temporary basal rate reduction algorithms
previously validated by the Diabrasport study (RCB ID: 2009-A01136-51) in
the case where the physical activity is practiced away from meals.
Patients will be asked to follow the procedure described below (see Practical
Guide to the Diabeloop SP6.2.3 study):
- Reduce their basal rate by 50% or 80% according to intensity of exercise,
30 to 60 min before beginning the physical activity practiced 3 hours
after the meal.
- Reduce the meal bolus if the physical activity is practiced within 3 hours
after the meal.
Physical activities can be alternated from one day to the next, for example:
• 1st day: running
• 2nd day: Nordic walking
• 3rd day: biking Meals (breakfasts, lunches and dinners) will be varied, taken at fixed times
and in a maximum of 30-45 minutes. The bolus for each meal will be
administered at the same time in both periods and if possible will be similar
between the two periods.

Conduct of study SP6.2
Following the conclusions of study SP6.1, substantial improvements were made to the
Diabeloop algorithm, leading to a version V2 which, among other things, contained a shorter
reassessment loop, every 10 minutes, as well as parameters from the Howorka model, and the
addition, in case of a “mismatch”, of a decision tree mimicking the decision-making of a
diabetologist in case of a “non-physiological” situation, especially in case of unexplained
hyperglycemia. This algorithm can then take over from the basic MPC algorithm, thus
avoiding the automatic return to the reference basal rate.

In terms of meal announcements, it is possible for patients to input a meal and, if they practice
functional insulin therapy, to announce the quantity of carbohydrate. They can also announce
“exceptional” meals, such as meal high in fat and/or protein, as well as physical activity with
selection of its duration and intensity.
Furthermore, the algorithm’s control of the Cellnovo insulin pump has been completely
automated via a wireless connection between the dedicated Smartphone and the pump. The
Smartphone is also connected to the DexcomTM G4 CGM by Bluetooth low energy. The
Diabeloop system, thus automated and improved, was evaluated in study SP6.2 (clinical trial
registry NCT NCT02627911), whose primary objective was to assess non-inferiority of
nocturnal blood glucose control with the Diabeloop system compared to the usual algorithm
of a type 1 diabetic patient treated with an external insulin pump in three different situations:
sedentarity, exceptional meals and physical activity. Secondary objectives, for the study as a
whole and for each sub-study, were to compare the glycemic results obtained with the
Diabeloop system versus the usual algorithms of the patient:
a. During the entire study duration (72 hours)
b. During the 3 daily meals
c. During daily physical activity
and to demonstrate better efficacy of the system on the 3rd day “D3” versus 1st day “D1”
according to different periods of the day, during closed loop versus open loop.
The study involved two 72-hour treatment periods for each patient, in a randomly assigned
order, during which the diabetes was treated either with the semi-automated Diabeloop system
combining the DexcomTM G4 sensor, Cellnovo pump and Smartphone integrating the
Diabeloop V2 software and connected to the DexcomTM G4 and Cellnovo pump. The patient
nevertheless had to announce his meals and physical activities via the Smartphone. Or the
patient controlled his diabetes himself as usual, but with his conventional insulin pump and a
DexcomTM G4 sensor.
Study SP6.2 comprised three sub-studies in order to test the system in a “sedentary” situation,
but also in common daily life situations in which diabetes is very difficult to control, even by
“expert“ patients, i.e., unusual or heavy meals, or strenuous or repeated physical activities.
Patients spent 3 nights in the hospital.
1. SP6.2.1 involved the “sedentary” situation, in the hospital setting, with calibrated meals and
no major physical activity. 14 patients were recruited for this sub-study at the centers in Caen,

Nancy and Strasbourg. The principal investigator for this sub-study was Prof Yves Reznick
(Caen).
2. SP6.2.2 involved the exceptional meals situation: a standard breakfast was served for the 3
days, lunch was taken in a cafeteria, and above all, dinners were at gastronomic restaurants: a
Japanese restaurant the first evening, Italian restaurant the second evening, and a gastronomic
French restaurant the third evening. 11 patients took part in this sub-study carried out at the
centers in Toulouse, Montpellier and Grenoble. The principal investigator was Prof Hanaire
(Toulouse).
3. SP6.2.3 involved the repeated physical activity situation on a bicycle ergometer:
a. On D1 in the afternoon, 45 min of intense physical activity (75% of VO2max)
b. On D2 in the afternoon, 45 min of moderate physical activity (50% of VO2max)
c. On D3, in the morning, 30 min of moderate physical activity and in the afternoon, 45 min of
intense physical activity
12 patients were recruited for this sub-study carried out at the centers in Corbeil, Marseille
and Besançon. The principal investigator was Dr Franc (Corbeil).
Performance assessment - study SP6.2:
Descriptive analysis:
Thirty-eight DT1 patients (age: 49.9±14.5 years, duration of diabetes: 25.1 ± 13.6 years,HbA1c: 7.8 ±
0.7%) were analyzed out of the 42 patients included in a randomized crossover trial involving two
sessions of 72 hours starting at 10:00, either equipped with their conventional insulin pump
preprogrammed with their usual treatment (open loop) and augmented with a continuous glucose
monitor, or equipped with the Diabeloop system (closed loop: CL) with the Cellnovo insulin pump,
the Dexcom G4 Platinum sensor connected to a Smartphone containing the algorithm. Meals and
physical activity were announced to the algorithm via the Smartphone and the insulin doses
calculated by the algorithm were administered to the patient automatically by the Cellnovo patch
pump. Glycemic control was assessed on the CGM data.
1. Overall results: Overall glucose control was superior in closed loop with a percentage of time spent in [80-140] mg/dl of 61.1%[56.1;66.7] vs. 27.4% [19.2;39.0]. Statistical tests reached the level of significance for non-inferiority and superiority of the closed loop compared to the open loop (p < 0.0001) during the night (23:00 to 7:00). The percentage of time spent in [70-180] mg/dl for the 3 nights was 76.0% [81.9;90.3] in CL vs. 58.0%
[48.2;69.8] in OL; p<0.0001). The percentage of time spent in [70-180] mg/dl during 72 hours was
79.0% [75.6;82.5] in CL versus 60.8% [55.2;67.0] in OL (p < 0.0001). Average blood glucose during 72
hours was 138.7 [133.5;144.2] mg/dl in CL versus 156.5 [148.5;165.0] mg/dl in OL, p< 0.0001. In both

cases the closed loop reached statistical significance for non-inferiority and superiority compared to
the open loop.
2. Situation of sedentarity: The percentage of time spent in [80-140] mg/dl for the 3 nights was 58.7% [50.9;67.7] in CL versus 45.2% [25.2;81.0] in OL, with a non-significant difference between the two groups for non-inferiority and also for superiority p=0.3406. The percentage of time spent in [70-180] mg/dl for the 3 nights was 82.2% [75.9;89.1] in CL versus
72.7% [53.6;98.7] in OL, p=0.4061, and during 72 hours it was 76.9% [71.6;82.6] in CL versus 70.5%
[60.1;82.7] in OL, p=0.2602. Average blood glucose during 72 hours was 136.6 [128.1;145.7]mg/dl in
CL versus 145.0 [132.9;158.3] md/dl in OL, p=0.13. In both cases the tests of superiority and non-
inferiority did not reach statistical significance.
3. Situation of exceptional meals:
The percentage of time spent in [80-140] mg/dl for the 3 nights was 58.4% [49.7;68.7] in CL versus 14.7% [7.6;28.6] in OL, or significantly 3 times higher in closed loop versus open loop during the night (23:00 to 7:00 (p < 0.0001). The percentage of time spent in [70-180] mg/dl for the 3 nights was 85.2% [77.7;93.4] in CL versus
40.7% in (p<0.0001), and during 72 hours it was 80.2% [73.9;87.1] in CL versus 51.7% [43.1;62.0] in
OL (p<0.0001). Average blood glucose during 72 hours was 141.7 [131.7;152.4]mg/dl in CL versus
169.7[153.7;187.5] mg/dl in OL, p=0.003. In both cases the closed loop reached statistical significance
for superiority compared to the open loop.
4. Situation of physical activity:
The percentage of time spent in [80-140] mg/dl for the 3 nights was 66.6% [57.8;76.9] in CL versus 30.9% [17.2;55.3] in OL, significantly two times higher in closed loop compared to open loop during the night (23:00 to 7:00) (p < 0.0076). The percentage of time spent in reference range [70-180] mg/dl for the 3 nights was 90.8%
[83.8;98.4] in CL versus 66.1% [48.7;89.7] in OL (p<0.0368) and during 72 hours it was 79.8%
[74.2;85.7] in CL versus 61.8% [52.7;72.5] in OL (p<0.0021). Average blood glucose during 72 hours
was 138.0[129.4;147.1]mg/dl in CL versus 155.8[142.8;170.0] mg/dl in OL, p=0.0037. In both cases
the closed loop reached statistical significance for non-inferiority and superiority compared to the
open loop.

Serious adverse events (SAEs):
An expected serious adverse event occurred in patient 2.CLAAN at center 2 Nancy CHU. The SAE occurred on Sunday 21/02/2016 while the patient was at home, before beginning the two
treatment sessions closed loop and open loop. Therefore the SAE is not related to the Diabeloop
system.
Medical device vigilance incidents occurring during the study:
No major system events or malfunctions life threatening to the patient occurred during the study. During the study, three main types of events occurred in different patients who wanted to continue
the study with the equipment:
- Loss of connection pump/Smartphone resolved by reinitializing communication.
- Loss of connection with Dexcom receiver resolved by reinitializing communication with the
receiver.
- Malfunction of the Diabeloop application, resolved by restarting regulation.
None of these events was associated with severe hyperglycemia or severe hypoglycemia. In total,
167 minor medical device vigilance events were identified. Resolution of these events took an
average of 10 to 15 minutes according to whether or not the engineer was routinely informed of the
event.
All the medical device vigilance events are detailed below:
1. Medical device vigilance - Smartphone
During the study, 176 medical device vigilance (MVG) events associated with the Smartphone occurred in 21 different patients who wished to continue with the equipment. None was associated with severe hyperglycemia or severe hypoglycemia. These 176 MVG events included: - 132 MVG related to a loss of connection. - 39 MVG related to a malfunction of the application. - 1 MVG related to the investigator’s dedicated remote monitoring Smartphone. - 1 MVG related to a Smartphone bug. - 1 MVG related to shutdown of the application - 1 MVG related to disconnection of the system.
- 1 MVG related to a bolus injection without preliminary confirmation.
2. Medical device vigilance - Pump
During the study 125 MVG events were identified:

- 121 MVG related to the Cellnovo pump in 28 patients who wished to continue with the equipment. - 4 MVG related to the usual pump in 3 patients who wished to continue with the equipment. No event was associated with severe hyperglycemia or severe hypoglycemia. These 121 MVG events with the Cellnovo pump included: - 77 MVG related to teletransmission between pump/Smartphone. - 6 MVG related to spontaneous shutdown of the DIABELOOP application. - 38 MVG related to the Cellnovo pump (cartridge empty, pump stopped, detection of
occlusion…).
3. Medical device vigilance - Sensor
During the study, 40 medical device vigilance (MVG) events associated with the Dexcom sensor
occurred in 13 patients who wished to continue with the equipment. None was associated with
severe hyperglycemia or severe hypoglycemia. Among these 40 events, 28 were associated with
teletransmission between the Dexcom receiver and the Smartphone.
4. Medical device vigilance - ActiHeart
During the study, 5 medical device vigilance (MVG) events associated with the electrodes used to
install the ActiHeart occurred in 5 patients who wished to continue with the equipment. None was
associated with severe hyperglycemia or severe hypoglycemia. The electrodes caused a skin reaction
in these patients.
5. Medical device vigilance - ActiGraph
No MVG events associated with the ActiGraph occurred during the study.
Patient satisfaction:
At the end of the study patients filled out three visual analogue scales (VAS) on the Diabeloop system: a. Satisfaction with the system: OL: 6.8 (±2.5) vs. CL: 8.5 (2.2) ; CL-OL 1.72[0.71;273] p=0.0016. b. Ease of use of the system: OL: 7.7(±2.1) vs. CL: 8.4(±1.5) ; CL-OL 0.74[0.71;273] p=0.1386.
c. Comfort of the system: OL: 6.4(±2.6) vs. CL: 7.2(±2.4) ; CL-OL 0.70[-0.23;1.63] p=0.1346.

The statistical test showed that patients were satisfied with the Diabeloop system compared to the
usual system (open loop).
Conclusion:
In various situations such as intensive physical activity, exceptional meals or sedentarity, the Diabeloop system doubled the time spent in tight glucose range 80-140mg/dl during the night, decreased the time spent in hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia during the night, and reduced average blood glucose compared to conventional insulin pump therapy. In the repeated heavy meal situation, the Diabeloop system nearly quadrupled the time spent in tight glucose range 80-140mg/dl during the night and decreased average blood glucose compared to the conventional treatment. In the repeated intensive physical activity situation, the Diabeloop system doubled the time spent in
80-140mg /dL during the night and decreased average blood glucose during 72 hours compared to
the open loop, without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia.
On the other hand, medical device vigilance events comprised a large number of technical incidents
mainly related to communication problems between the Dexcom sensor with a Bluetooth connector
and the Cellnovo pump using ANT+ radio service. This problem will be resolved since the new
generation of Cellnovo pumps will be equipped with Bluetooth. The communication between the
Dexcom sensor and the pump will be compatible and the risk of interference from other radio waves
will be very low.
