Plain English summary of protocol
Background and study aims
The aim of the study is to explore how accurately the two methods of the new TensorTip blood glucose meter (with and without the need of a finger prick) can measure blood glucose when compared to a laboratory test method. The meter should be good enough to meet the criteria required for approval by regulatory agencies in Europe (EMA) and in the US (FDA).
Who can participate?
This study is open for any adult patient (male and female, aged >18 years) with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and also for male and female healthy volunteers.
What does the study involve?
The participants will perform two visits. In the first visit, they will receive training how to calibrate the pain-free optical component of the TensorTip CoG device by means of several readings in parallel to the common measurement component, which requires a finger prick. After that they will go home and perform the calibration within the next 7 to 10 days. At the second visit, the participants will do a test at the site to check their actual blood glucose. Based on the result, the doctor will ask them to either do the comparison experiment right away or to change their blood sugar under medical supervision by either food uptake or insulin injection. During the experiment, blood glucose will be tested at one timepoint with three methods:
1. the YSI laboratory reference device (baseline measurement)
2. the common finger-prick (invasive) method of the TensorTip device (testing with three strip lots)
3. the pain-free (non-invasive) method
4. repeat the YSI reference method (endpoint measurement). 1, 2 and 4 will be performed by healthcare professionals, 3 will be performed by the patient. Thereafter, the study is finished and the patient can leave the study site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
Benefits: the study is a technical testing of the device and does not provide any medical benefit for the patient. Therefore, the patient will receive a honorarium for study participation.
Risks: the risks involved are coming from the fingerpricking requirement for calibration and measurement, mainly pain when puncturing the fingertip, skin lesions and bleeding.
Where is the study run from?
Pfützner Science & Health Institute, Mainz, Germany.
When is the study starting and how long will it last?
July 2017 to September 2017.
Who is funding the study?
CNOGA Medical Ltd, the maker of the TensorTip device.
Who is the main contact?
Principal investigator: Prof. Andreas Pfützner, andreas.pfuetzner@pfuetzner-mainz.com

| Scientific title | System accuracy of the invasive part of the Tensortip Combo glucometer (CoG) – clinical trial protocol in accordance with ISO15197:2015 |
| Study acronym | ISO Study |
| Study objectives | The invasive part of the TensorTip Combo Glucometer meets the acceptance criteria for system accuracy as set forth in ISO15197 (95% of paired values versus the YSI 2300 StatPlus reference method are within a range of +/-15 mg/dl for values below 100 mg/dl and +/-15% for values >=100 mg/dl) |

| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Accuracy of glucometer in determining blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus |
| Intervention | After enrollment and device calibration at home during the following week, patients will come to the study site for a single comparative blood glucose testing experiment. The patients check their glucose with a regular glucose meter and based on the result, the decision will be made to either start a comparative glucose test experiment right away or to allow glucose to be modified by means of food uptake or insulin injection, to meet certain patient numbers at different blood glucose levels. For the experiment, capillary blood will be taken by finger prick and tests for blood glucose will be made by means of either the YSI reference test, the invasive TensorTip CoG component , the non-invasive CoG device component, or another YSI reference test. After the final reference test, the patients will be discarded from the site, which concludes the trial. |
