- STRIVE pivotal trial shows Omnipod 6 achieved strong glycemic outcomes with fewer boluses, across age groups and diabetes types
- EVOLUTION 3 feasibility study demonstrates improved time in range using a fully closed-loop system for type 2 diabetes that automatically adjusts insulin with no user settings
Results from the STRIVE pivotal trial and the EVOLUTION 3 feasibility study, presented at the American Diabetes Association (
“Omnipod 6 represents one of our biggest steps forward yet, with greater personalization and responsiveness to hyperglycemia, by delivering up to
Together, results from STRIVE and EVOLUTION 3 underscore Insulet’s continued commitment to building a future where managing diabetes is dramatically simpler. This progress aligns with the Company’s innovation philosophy: build technology that doesn’t just do more but demands less.
STRIVE Study Overview
The STRIVE pivotal trial was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the next-generation Omnipod 6 algorithm.
The randomized, crossover study included 132 participants across the
Participants were randomized to use either the Omnipod 6 algorithm at the 100 mg/dL Target Glucose or the Omnipod 5 System at the 110 mg/dL Target Glucose for four weeks, followed by crossover to the alternate system for an additional four weeks. After the Crossover Phase, all participants entered a four-week or six-week Bolus Optional Phase to evaluate whether glycemic outcomes could be maintained with reduced user interaction, with a study goal of three or fewer boluses per day.
STRIVE Key Data Highlights
Enhanced glycemic performance, even with limited bolusing
The STRIVE study demonstrated clinically meaningful improvements in glycemic outcomes with Omnipod 6 during the Crossover Phase.
-
Improved time in tight range (70–140 mg/dL) with Omnipod 6 vs. Omnipod 5:
-
Type 1 diabetes (≥14 years):
54% vs.47% (+7 pts) -
Type 2 diabetes:
48% vs.43% (+5 pts)
-
Type 1 diabetes (≥14 years):
-
Improved time in range (70–180 mg/dL) with Omnipod 6 vs. Omnipod 5:
-
Type 1 diabetes (≥14 years):
77% vs.73% (+4 pts) -
Type 2 diabetes:
76% vs.73% (+3 pts)
-
Type 1 diabetes (≥14 years):
-
Maintained safety profile:
- Time <54 mg/dL and <70 mg/dL were non-inferior
- No instances of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or severe hypoglycemia
The STRIVE study demonstrated strong glycemic performance even when users bolused less during the Bolus Optional Phase.
-
Strong time in range and time in tight range with fewer boluses:
-
Type 1 diabetes (≥14 years):
76% time in range and54% time in tight range with 2.2 fewer boluses/day -
Type 2 diabetes:
74% time in range and46% time in tight range with 2.5 boluses per day
-
Type 1 diabetes (≥14 years):
- These findings suggest Omnipod 6 may be especially helpful for people with diabetes who do not always bolus. This will be further tested in the upcoming STRIVE 2 study, which will evaluate Omnipod 6 among people who bolus fewer than four times per day and are not meeting clinical targets for HbA1c.
EVOLUTION 3 Study Overview:
Insulet also shared results from EVOLUTION 3, the pre-pivotal study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the Company’s breakthrough FCL system for adults with type 2 diabetes.
EVOLUTION 3 enrolled a demographically diverse cohort comprised of 36 participants (adults aged 18–75 years old) with type 2 diabetes using insulin with HbA1c<
EVOLUTION 3 Key Data Highlights
Fully Closed-Loop for type 2 diabetes improved time in range and reduced daily insulin with no weight gain
-
Insulet’s FCL for type 2 diabetes delivered
64% time in range, a12% improvement with low hypoglycemia (0.15% ) in a diverse, intensively managed population. - Total daily insulin was reduced from 86U to 58U with no weight gain.
-
Participants also reported high satisfaction (
86% satisfied or highly satisfied) and reduced burden with FCL.
This data is part of the broader clinical program used to support the development of the FCL AID system designed for people living with type 2 diabetes. The EVOLUTION 2 results were shared earlier this year at the 19th International Conference on Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD), and Insulet recently announced the first enrollment of participants in EVOLVE, the randomized controlled pivotal trial supporting a planned 2027 510(k) filing to the FDA and expected 2028 commercial launch. Building on this experience from FCL for type 2 diabetes, early clinical work is underway to advance the science for FCL for type 1 diabetes as well.
