Diabetic Foot Ulcer Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between wound alkalinity and the non-healing status of chronic ulcer wounds. It is hypothesized that wounds with an alkaline environment as indicated by DETEC pH will have a high chance of not healing over 12 weeks of wound care. Read Less

This non-interventional, single-blinded, prospective, observational study assesses the planar distribution of leukocyte esterase in wounds by placing wound exudates soaked wound dressings in the DETEC® Esterase device during routine wound care. The output of the device is correlated with clinical determination of infection to assess the device efficacy in identifying presumptive infections. Read Less

This study is a platform study designed to efficiently test multiple biomarkers to identify diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) with a higher potential for healing versus not healing that ultimately could be applied at the point of care to drive personalized management decisions, and to better inform clinical trials of wound healing interventions Read Less

Irrisept™ irrigation containing Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) 0.05% in sterile water, is an irrigation method that may help reduce bacterial load considerably more than traditional saline irrigation. Read Less

During the observational, non-interventional study, at Baseline Study Visit (BSV) subjects will be screened and consented. Eligible subjects will undergo imaging with the DeepView device. Pre- and post-debridement images will be obtained (if debridement performed per SOC), as well as reviewing medical history and physical assessments. Additional Study Visits (SVs) will be performed when patient returns to the clinic for Routine Clinic Visit for up to 12 weeks or wound closure. During these visits DeepView imaging will occur pre- and post-debridement, and the status of the subject's treatment will be recorded. Read Less

The purpose of this clinical evaluation is to collect and compare outcomes data from patients with UT 1A diabetic foot ulcers treated with 510K FDA cleared, commercially available self-assembling peptide, AC5®Advanced Wound System, as compared to an advanced standard of care. Patient outcomes will be compared at the end of the study. Read Less

This is a phase 2 double-blind clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and Safety of ALLO-ASC-SHEET in subjects with Diabetic Wagner Grade II Foot Ulcers, compared to placebo therapy. Read Less

Data will be collected with 3 vascular imaging devices (IntraOx Vioptix, Newark, CA; Hyperview, HyperMed Imaging, Memphis, TN; Snapshot NIH, Kent Imaging, Calgary, Alberta, Canada). The wound will be imaged with the 3 devices at index research encounter (this will count as the initial pre-operative imaging if the patient requires surgery), before surgery for interval or additional surgeries, during surgery, and during clinic follow-up (one set of imaging approximately every 3-5 weeks) visits for a maximum follow up time of 12 months or until the wound is documented as healed, whichever occurs first. The investigators will collect data from the medial and lateral angiosomes on the dorsum and plantar aspects of the foot and the anterior and posterior leg. Subject data will be obtained from the patient by oral history and physical exam and the medical records of patients of the investigators: vascular data, demographic medical history, wound characteristics and measurements, frequency of debridement and off-loading. Collection of lab data will be obtained such as cultures glycosylated hemoglobin, hemoglobin and hematocrit, ESR, CRP and eGFR obtained per standard of care. Imaging with the three devices is research-only and is not standard of care. Read Less

Phase IV, randomized, prospective, multi-center, open-label, comparison of transforming powder dressing to standard of care dressing for healing diabetic foot ulcers. Read Less

This research is being done to compare two different methods of wound monitoring for chronic wounds: remote wound monitoring using a smartphone app and in-person wound monitoring in a clinic setting. This will be a pilot non-blinded randomized controlled feasibility trial. The investigators will enroll 120 patients with an active diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) who present to the multidisciplinary diabetic foot clinic in Baltimore, Maryland. Patients will be computer randomized 1:1 to receive wound care monitoring using remote DFU monitoring technology or standard in-person monitoring for 12 weeks. Read Less

The overarching purpose of this study is to investigate the impact that exercise, as delivered through a medically supervised, outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program, has on the wound healing process in Type 2 diabetics having foot ulcers classified as being Wound, Ischemia, foot Infection (WIfI) stage 2 or lower. The criterion reference measure of diabetic foot ulcer wound healing is be the time required to reach the maturation phase of the wound healing cascade (wound closure without drainage). Read Less

This is a twelve-week single-center, randomized, double-blind, clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a folic acid wound treatment (FAWT) versus Placebo in the promotion of healing of chronic, early stage diabetic foot ulcer (ES-DFU) wounds. Male and female Veterans with type-2 diabetes mellitus and chronic ES-DFUs acceptable to the study inclusion/exclusion criteria will be considered for enrollment. Read Less
