[{"type":"text","content":" SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nTandem Diabetes Care, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNDM), a leading insulin delivery and diabetes technology company, today announced publication of results from the Pediatric Artificial Pancreas (PEDAP) Clinical Trial by the New England Journal of Medicine showing an approximate 3-hour per day increase in time in range* in children ages 2-5 years old using the t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control-IQ advanced hybrid closed-loop technology** compared to those on a standard insulin pump or multiple daily injections. All participants were using a Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System.\n\nResults observed in this randomized, controlled trial for subjects using Control-IQ technology, an automated insulin delivery (AID) system, were immediate, sustained, and observed across the spectrum of patient characteristics including race-ethnicity, parental education, family income, baseline glycated hemoglobin level, virtual vs. in-person training format, and pre-study insulin delivery method. Subjects with higher baseline hemoglobin A1c values (A1c) experienced greater improvements in time in range and A1c during the study.\n\n“The safety and efficacy outcomes observed in this study support using Control-IQ technology for young children with type 1 diabetes to enhance quality of life and minimize the risk of long-term complications,” said Dr. R. Paul Wadwa, Professor of Pediatrics at the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and protocol chair for the PEDAP Clinical Trial. “Studies using Control-IQ technology have shown impressive results in different age groups, now in a sequence of randomized controlled trials published by the New England Journal of Medicine, demonstrating more time in range with low risk of hypoglycemia.”\n\n“After the resounding success of Control-IQ technology in people ages six and up, it is very rewarding to see our youngest patients, and often the most challenging patients to help, benefit as well,” said Dr. Marc Breton, the Associate Director for Research of The Center for Diabetes Technology at the University of Virginia, and the Principal Investigator of the PEDAP study. “With these results, we have now accumulated years of clinical validation of this system across all age groups and look forward to seeing this life changing technology made a...
