BACKGROUND: Given the faster onset and shorter duration of action of ultra-rapid insulin lispro-aabc (URLi, Lyumjev™ insulin), compared with insulin lispro (a rapid-acting insulin RAI), the present study investigated the safety and glycemic outcomes of MiniMed™ 780G advanced hybrid closed-loop (AHCL) use with URLi in youths and adults with T1D. METHODS: This 19-site, single-arm, clinical trial enrolled children and adolescents (aged 7-17 years) and adults (aged 18-80 years) with T1D who underwent a run-in period (∼2 weeks) using open loop or automated basal only with an RAI (aspart or lispro), followed by a 3-month study period using URLi with AHCL (AHCL + URLi). End-of-study glycemic metrics and A1c were compared to predefined thresholds and to data from baseline/run-in. Use of recommended optimal settings (ROS, 100 mg/dL glucose target with an active insulin time AIT of 2 h) was also assessed. RESULTS: < 0.001 for all). Additionally, % time above range for both groups was significantly reduced. Use of ROS allowed more participants to achieve recommended glycemic targets. There were no severe hypoglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis events. Most caregivers agreed that mealtime versus premeal URLi delivery simplified pediatric meal management. CONCLUSIONS: Similar to previous studies investigating automated URLi delivery, URLi use in the MiniMed™ 780G system was safe, and glycemic outcomes were favorable for pediatric and adult participants.
