2. Background and rationale
Insulin therapy is of vital importance for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and can be administered as multiple daily injections (MDI) or by means of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII), also known as insulin pump therapy. Attaining near-normal blood glucose values reduces the risk of diabetic complications (1,2), so that guidelines since long advise an HbA1c <7% (<53 mmol/mol) as an optimal treatment goal for adults with T1D (3,4). Any current exogenous insulin therapy is however associated with risk of developing hypoglycemia (1) often leading to fear of hypoglycemia, and thus a barrier to achieve an optimal HbA1c (5).
Self-monitoring of glucose values is essential in order to minimize the risk of hypoglycemia by balancing the insulin dose with current and predicted glucose values. Finding the right balance can be very challenging since it is influenced by factors such as meals, exercise, stress, and illness. New technologies have been developed in the past years to support people with T1D in self-monitoring, optimizing insulin therapy and lessen the burden.
One of these new technologies is the hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system (HCL). This is a form of sensor-augmented insulin pump therapy (SAP) that allows automated insulin delivery (AID). The system consists of a continuous glucose monitoring device (CGM) connected wirelessly to a CSII and, in some cases, to either a dedicated handheld or a smartphone App. The pump then uses an algorithm to control the AID. The algorithm may run directly in the pump or in the handheld/Smartphone App, depending on the technologies. The system is called a hybrid closed-loop (6) because patients have to input their carbohydrate intake and accept a bolus-advise generated by the system. Several randomized controlled trials showed that HCL in an outpatient setting is superior to SAP (using a simple algorithm for avoiding hypoglycemia but without full AID) and other types of open-loop systems (not using an algorithm) regarding glycemic control (7–10). Some trials also studied the effect on quality of life, but no significant difference could be demonstrated (10,11).
The DBLG1 is a new kind of hybrid closed loop developed by Diabeloop (Diabeloop SA, Paris, France) that recently entered the European market. The DBLG1 system combines an algorithm based on machine-learning within a physiological framework with an expert system and self-learning algorithms (12). In a different way from other systems already on the Belgian market as the Medtronic MiniMed™ 780G (13) and the Tandem t:slim X2 Control-IQTM (14), the algorithm requires patient to record carbohydrate intake only semi-quantitatively, and intensity and duration of planned physical activities (15). A 12-week multicenter randomized controlled crossover trial comparing the DBLG1 system with SAP showed that this system was associated with a greater percentage of time spent in range than SAP (16). From 2021 onward, this system will fall within a new Belgian diabetes reimbursement program (Advanced and Expensive Technology convention).
Based on the available data, the impact of HCL systems on glycemic control and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) under real-life conditions on the long-term is however still unclear. We will undertake this 24-month prospective study in a cohort of patients who were started on the DBLG1 system in Belgium. As for the RESCUE trial on SAP (17) and the ongoing INRANGE Study on first generation HCL, this study will help individualize the treatment of T1D patients and provide knowledge about how to attribute healthcare costs in the Belgian healthcare environment of expert centers treating patients with new technologies.

3.6 Trial design
This is a multicenter real-world observational study analyzing data on the use of the DBLG1 system in patients with T1D treated in the participating centers in Belgium. Data from patients with T1D who start(ed) with the DBLG1 between [start of protocol] up to and including [+1 year] will be analyzed. Data will be collected during clinical routine follow-up from electronic medical records, questionnaires, standard of care laboratory tests and CGM-data. Baseline data from before start (up to -12 months) of the DBLG1 system and follow-up data at 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 months will be analyzed. There are no medical interventions, nor extra visits or laboratory tests planned outside normal clinical routine. Glycemic control and patient-reported outcomes during follow-up will be compared with glycemic control and patient-reported outcome data at baseline.
Investigational device: DBLG1 Hybrid Closed-Loop System
The DBLG1 Hybrid closed-loop system consists of the DBLG1 algorithm hosted on a dedicated handset, similar to a smartphone. The handset is connected via Bluetooth with a Roche Accu-Chek® Insight insulin pump and with the Dexcom G6® CGM device. Blood glucose readings are not required. The DBLG1 system automatically adjusts insulin infusion based on CGM readings to reach a default glucose target of 110 mg/dL (other glucose targets and settings are available). Initiation of the algorithm require the following information: patient’s body weight, total daily insulin requirements and usual quantified carbohydrate intake for each meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner). Pump basal flow rates are also required as a safety reference. During this observational study we will allow software updates, if made available.

6. Statistics
6.1 Sample size
We will include every patient with T1D who starts with the DBLG1 system in the participating centers. It is our estimation that more than 100 patients will use the DBLG1 technology in the period that we analyze. Considering a dropout rate of 25% at one year of treatment, this gives our study still enough power (>80%) for the primary endpoint (change in time in range from before to 12 months after
starting the DBLG1 system) to detect a mean difference of 5% assuming a standard deviation of 10% based on a repeated measures ANOVA (with α=0.05), and assuming a correlation between the time points equal to 0.8. The estimates for the power calculation were obtained from the database used in the RESCUE study (17). A mean difference of 5% is seen as a clinically significant change for time in range (26).
6.2 Analysis
A linear mixed model will be used to evaluate the changes in continuous variables after start of the DBLG1 system, with a random effect of center to handle the correlation between patients of the same center and an unstructured covariance matrix for the four repeated measurements within the same patient. By using a linear mixed model, cases with missing data will still contribute to the analyses. A multivariable ANOVA model will be used to verify if baseline characteristics will moderate the change in glycemic outcome parameters, no covariates will be taken into account a priori. Changes in dichotomous variables will be evaluated by xxx Xxxxxxx’x Q-test with post-hoc McNemar’s test. The p-value will be defined significant at a α-level of 0.05 or lower.
An overview of the clinical and demographic data at start will be summarized in a table using mean values and standard deviations or medians with the range of interquartile of values.
The data set will comprise all participants for all analyses. Analysis will be performed at the end of the study.
7. Quality assurance
The study teams at each participating site are responsible for the management of the study. The principal investigator and the sub-investigators of the ULB-Hôpital ERASME will communicate with the local centers on a regular basis.
We will use standardized forms and questionnaires, which have to be filled out by the study teams and/or patients, in order to collect the right data at the right time. We also developed Study Operating Procedures (SOPs) about how to extract Comma Separated Value (CSV) files from CareLinkTM, LibreView, Clarity and Yourloops , for the storage of CGM-data.
8. Direct access to source data and documents
