ACTON, Mass. / Mar 08, 2024 / Business Wire / Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD) (Insulet or the Company), the global leader in tubeless insulin pump technology with its Omnipod® brand of products, today presented positive results from its first randomized controlled trial (RCT) showing improved glycemic and patient-reported outcomes in type 1 diabetes with the Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System (Omnipod 5). The OP5-003 Trial results were presented at the 17th International Conference on Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) in Florence, Italy.
Professor Eric Renard, MD, PhD of Montpellier University Hospital, shared evidence of the efficacy and safety of the automated Omnipod 5 System compared to insulin pump therapy with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the United States and France. Omnipod 5 use led to a 17.5% improvement in time in range (TIR), decreased HbA1c, decreased percentage of time in hypoglycemia, and decreased mean glucose in individuals with baseline HbA1c levels above the recommended target.
"Omnipod 5 continues to demonstrate impressive clinical outcomes for people with type 1 diabetes,” said Professor Renard. “We expect this latest set of compelling evidence to have a profound impact on international accessibility and affordability, allowing more people with diabetes to experience the benefits provided by this innovative technology.”
It is the first Omnipod 5 randomized controlled trial to date, and the first time the system has been evaluated by international participants.
“Since Omnipod 5’s first commercial launch in the United States, we have been working diligently to expand into new markets and improve access to this life-changing technology,” said Dr. Trang Ly MBBS, FRACP, PhD, Insulet Senior Vice President and Medical Director. “By gathering evidence from international participants through a randomized controlled trial, we have demonstrated the true benefit of using our tubeless, disposable automated insulin delivery (AID) system to manage type 1 diabetes over alternative forms of therapy and illustrated the superiority of Omnipod 5 compared to standard pump therapy with CGM for people with type 1 diabetes.”
Study Overview
A key objective of the OP5-003 trial was to evaluate Omnipod 5 in a population that was representative of the real world, primarily participants with an HbA1c above 8% at baseline. Insulet presented data for 194 adults who had used traditional (non-AID) insulin pump therapy (including 87% using the Omnipod or Omnipod DASH® Insulin Management System) for three months or longer and had a HbA1c between 7 and 11% (mean 8.5%). The participants had type 1 diabetes for at least one year and were enrolled at 14 institutions across the United States (61%) and France (39%).
The participants were randomized into two groups and studied over the course of 13 weeks. The control group (n=62) continued to use their usual insulin pump with a Dexcom G6 CGM, while the intervention group (n=132) used Omnipod 5 with Dexcom G6.
Key Data Highlights
Insulet also presented positive patient-reported results related to three key psychosocial measures that were included as secondary endpoints: diabetes distress, hypoglycemia confidence, and diabetes-related quality of life. As reported by study participants through individual surveys, Omnipod 5 use resulted in both statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in each of these three measures compared to the Control group. These results demonstrate that Omnipod 5 provides clinically meaningful improvements in key psychosocial aspects of living with type 1 diabetes.
In conclusion, this multi-national, RCT data demonstrates the superiority of the Omnipod 5 AID System compared to standard pump therapy with CGM and indicates that it should be offered as a first-line therapy for adults with type 1 diabetes. These results will be submitted for publication later this year.
