This study is a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled trial designed to collect patient outcome data on 2 commercially available SOC treatments for Diabetic Foot Wounds. Read Less

The objective of the study is to develop a peer support program that helps improve ulcer care in patients with a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU).Diabetes, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), foot ulceration, and subsequent amputation are unevenly patterned in terms of racial/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, health insurance, and geographic area. The project will identify opportunities to reduce health disparities among economically marginalized patients regarding DFU outcomes. Read Less

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether placing stent(s) for a blockage in a leg vein will help improve the healing of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). The investigators know from having taken care of many patients with diabetic foot ulcers that it is a major cause of disability and amputation. These diabetic foot ulcers frequently heal slowly or not at all. They sometimes become infected and require antibiotic therapy, debridement and amputation. The investigators normally take care of a diabetic foot ulcer with a combination of local wound care, surgical debridement if necessary, antibiotics if there is an infection, and reduction of pressure on the area of the foot with the ulcer. The investigators observed that some patients with a diabetic foot ulcer also have a blockage in a major leg vein referred to as the iliac vein. This blockage in the iliac vein prevents the proper flow of blood from the leg. This blockage results in pressure within the leg veins leading to swelling in the legs which may also prevent healing of the diabetic foot ulcer. This study will investigate whether placing stent(s) to treat the blockage(s) will improve healing of the diabetic foot ulcer and reduce some of the complications associated with a diabetic foot ulcer. The results of this study could result in a new treatment that will allow future patients with diabetic foot ulcers to heal better. Right now, placing stents for these blockages in the iliac vein is not the standard of care treatment for a diabetic foot ulcer. In order for us to determine whether stent placement is helpful, the researchers will have to randomize each patient. In other words, to reduce bias, patients will be assigned either to a group receiving a stent or to a group not receiving a stent. Every patient in both groups will receive the standard of care for a diabetic foot ulcer and undergo an x-ray with contrast and intravenous ultrasound examination of the legs. The standard of care for a diabetic foot ulcer may include local wound care, antibiotic therapy, debridement and/or amputation, and pressure offloading in the foot. 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

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

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to follow the progress of wounds in those with venous leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers while using an absorbent dressing called Mepilex Up. The main objective is to follow the progress of these wounds over time from initial visit to each follow-up visit. Participants will be asked to wear Mepilex Up dressing for up to 6 weeks of treatment or until healed, changed at every one-week interval. Read Less
