Medtronic receives Type 2 label expansion for MiniMed 780G in Europe

The CE mark also allows Medtronic’s automated insulin delivery system to be used during pregnancy and by children as young as 2.

Medtronic also plans to seek a label expansion for its MiniMed 780G system in the U.S. The company said a submission to expand the use of the system for people with Type 2 diabetes is currently under FDA review. In addition, Medtronic is running clinical trials in the U.S. to assess the use of the insulin delivery system in 2- to 6-year-olds. 

The CE mark label expansion was supported by clinical data, including the results of a single-arm, pivotal trial of 95 people with Type 2 diabetes. The results, published in May in Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics, found people with Type 2 diabetes who used the 780G pump had a 0.7% reduction in hemoglobin A1c from a baseline of 7.9%. They also had an increase in time in range, a measurement that indicates the percentage of time a person’s blood glucose stays within a target range, from 72% to 80%.
