SCIPI SUMMARY

ALDER HEY CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

SCIPI is a randomised controlled trial to compare the effectiveness of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion and multiple daily injection regimens in children and young people newly diagnosed with type I diabetes mellitus.

The study is designed to find out whether insulin treatment using insulin pumps is more effective than insulin treatment using insulin injections in babies, children and young people who have just been diagnosed with type I diabetes.

The trial was sponsored by Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, funded by National Institute for Health Research Health Technology Assessment Programme and coordinated by The University of Liverpool Clinical Trials Research Centre.
