Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This follow-up 12-month observational study aims to assess the performance of an advanced hybrid closed loop (A-HCL) system delivering faster-acting insulin aspart (FiAsp) versus insulin aspart for adults with type 1 diabetes under 'free-living' conditions.

This follows on from a completed pilot study that evaluated the performance of the A-HCL system delivering FiAsp versus aspart during standardised meal and exercise interventions.

It is evident that evaluation of investigational devices for improving glucose control under clinically rigorous conditions is likely to provide data on performance that may be unrealistic when compared to “real-life” situations. Therefore, it is important to test these devices in real-world conditions without experimental intervention from the study team.

Participants who were enrolled in ACTRN12619000469112 will be eligible to participate in this study. This study will allow participants to undergo their normal daily activities whilst utilising the A-HCL pump. Pump settings will be adjusted as per usual clinical care by the study team. Participants will be free to utilize insulin aspart or FiAsp with the pump based upon their personal preference. Participants will upload their pump regularly to allow the study team to monitor the safety of the device.

Twelve participants are planned to undertake the study at one clinical site. All procedures involving study participants will be undertaken by study doctors and research nurses. Participants will receive regular text message and phone call reminders during each stage of the study to ensure adherence.

Statistical methods / analysis
This represents an exploratory trial to provide preliminary data on the A-HCL performance in 'free-living' conditions with FiAsp compared with insulin aspart. The participant numbers were determined for the initial feasibility study and therefore (n) for this opportunistic extension study has been predetermined.

Median and IQR of primary and all secondary outcomes will be reported for the total duration of the study. Device performance outcomes will be presented for overall duration of the study.

Summary
Brief summary
An advanced hybrid closed-loop (A-HCL) insulin delivery system has shown safety and high time-in-range in a previous study. The use of a faster acting insulin aspart (FiASP) with a more rapid onset and shorter duration of insulin action compared to standard insulin aspart could improve the responsiveness of a HCL system. Limited data is available regarding the use of FiASP in HCL systems, in particular in 'free-living' conditions.

The aim is to compare glucose control using A-HCL delivering FiASP vs. insulin aspart in this observational study. All participants will undertake the study over a 12-month study duration in a 'free-living' protocol with A-HCL active. Participants are free to undergo their normal daily activities. There will be no specific interventions from the study team.

Participants will be free to utilize insulin aspart or FiAsp with the pump based upon their personal preference.

Outcome measures include CGM time-in-range and time in hyperglycaemic and hypoglycaemic ranges; safety and system performance outcomes.
