The two diabetes systems are Omnipod 6 and a fully closed-loop (FCL) system for type 2 diabetes. In the first study, dubbed STRIVE pivotal trial, the company compared the current Omnipod 5 with Omnipod 6 and found that the latter improved time in tight range by 7% for type 1 adults and by 5% for type 2 patients. Overall time in range also improved across both groups. The results also show that the new system delivered up to 50% more automated insulin.
Another key finding from STRIVE was that Omnipod 6 performed far better even when patients bolused less. The company explained that this matters because one of the biggest reasons people with diabetes don't hit their targets is inconsistency in remembering or choosing to manually dose for meals. Omnipod 6 compensates for that gap.
The other study, dubbed EVOLUTION 3, achieved 64% time in range, which is a 12% improvement over baseline. The system also cut total daily insulin from 86 units down to 58 units with no accompanying weight gain, and 86% of participants reported being satisfied or highly satisfied with the system.
