Advocates, 150 Children With Type 1 Diabetes Urge FDA to Enable Critical Research on Life-Saving Artificial Pancreas to Move Forward
Date:6/22/2011

allenge, however, is that these devices don't yet work together to automatically control their blood sugar levels.  In other countries, there are devices available that take the first step by automatically shutting off the insulin pump when someone is low."

At the same time, studies on the next generation artificial pancreas systems – which turn insulin both on and off automatically – are delayed and JDRF and numerous clinical experts are urging FDA to take immediate action to allow outpatient studies to proceed. The artificial pancreas is a transformational technology and one that is urgently needed by patients. Numerous published, peer reviewed studies conducted in hospital settings have shown that even early versions of an artificial pancreas can significantly improve glucose control for type 1 diabetes. Additionally, advancing the artificial pancreas could prevent costly complications that are burdening our economy – a new study by leading health economics experts shows an artificial pancreas could save Medicare nearly $2 billion over the next 25 years.(1) And leading clinicians and researchers from around the country along with a bipartisan majority of Congress have voiced their support for FDA to take the next steps in the regulatory process toward the development of an artificial pancreas. The letters of support can be found here.

JDRF's goal is to find a cure for type 1 diabetes. But there are transformational treatments, such as an artificial pancreas, which could help individuals live better with type 1 diabetes today and keep them healthy until that cure is found.  The FDA must provide clear and reasonable guidance for the next step in the testing of artificial pancreas systems to ensure these devices are brought to market as quickly as possible.
