This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study tests whether a special placental graft, used alongside standard wound care, helps close diabetic foot ulcers that won't heal on their own. About 350 adults with type 1 or 2 diabetes and a foot ulcer between 1 and 15 cm² will be randomly assigned to get the graft plus standard care or standard care alone. The main goal is to see if more ulcers close completely within 12 weeks with the graft treatment.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * The potential subject must be at least 18 years of age or older. * The potential subject must have a diagnosis of type 1 or 2 Diabetes mellitus. * At enrollment, the potential subject must have a target ulcer with a minimum surface area of 1.0 cm2 and a maximum surface area of 15.0 cm2 measured post debridement with the imaging device length times width. * The potential subject must have a target ulcer that has been present for a minimum of 4 weeks of standard of care, prior to the initial screening visit. * The potential subject must have a target ulcer located on the foot with at least 50% of the ulcer below the malleolus. * The potential subject must have a target ulcer that is Wagner 1 or 2 grade, extending at least through the dermis or subcutaneous tissue and may involve the muscle provided it is below the medial aspect of the malleolus. The ulcer may not include exposed tendon or bone. * The potential subject's affected limb must have adequate perfusion confirmed by vascular assessment. Any of the following methods performed within 3 months of the first screening visit are acceptable: 1. ABI between 0.7 and ≤ 1.3; 2. TBI ≥ 0.6; 3. TCOM ≥ 40 mmHg; 4. PVR: biphasic. 8. If the potential subject has two or more ulcers, they must be separated by at least 2 cm. The largest ulcer satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be designated as the target ulcer. * The potential subject must have a target ulcer located on the 50% below the malleolus and not on the dorsal toes. * The ulcer must be offloaded for at least 14 days prior to enrollment. * The potential subject must consent to using the prescribed offloading method for the duration of the study. * The potential subject must agree to attend the weekly study visits required by the protocol. * The potential subject must be willing and able to participate in the informed consent process. Exclusion Criteria: * The potential subject is known to have a life expectancy of \< 6 months. * The potential subject's target ulcer is not secondary to diabetes. * The target ulcer is infected or there is cellulitis in the surrounding skin. * The target ulcer exposes tendon or bone. * There is evidence of osteomyelitis complicating the target ulcer. * The potential subject is receiving immunosuppressants (including systemic corticosteroids at doses greater than 10 mg of prednisone per day or equivalent) or cytotoxic chemotherapy or is taking medications that the PI believes will interfere with wound healing (e.g., biologics). * The potential subject has applied topical steroids to the ulcer surface within one month of initial screening. * The potential subject with a previous partial amputation on the affected foot that results in a deformity that impedes proper offloading of the target ulcer. * The potential subject has glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) greater than or equal to 12% within 3 months of the initial screening visit. * The surface area of the potential subject's target ulcer has reduced in size by more than 20% in the 2 weeks prior to the initial screening visit ("historical" run-in period). Imaging Device is not required for measurements taken during the historical run-in period (e.g., calculating surface area using length X width is acceptable). * The surface area measurement of the potential subject's target ulcer decreases by 25% or more during the active 2-week screening phase: the 2 weeks from the initial screening visit (S1) to the TV-1 visit during which time the potential subject received SOC. * The potential subject has an acute Charcot foot, or an inactive Charcot foot, which impedes proper offloading of the target ulcer. * The potential subject is a woman who is pregnant or considering becoming pregnant within the next 6 months. * The potential subject has end stage renal disease requiring dialysis. * The potential subject has participated in a clinical trial involving treatment with an investigational product within the previous 30 days. * The potential subject, in the opinion of the investigator, has a medical or psychological condition that may interfere with study assessments. * The potential subject was treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) or a Cellular, Acellular, Matrix-like Product (CAMP) in the 30 days prior to the initial screening visit. * The potential subject has a malnutrition. * The potential subject has a known allergy or sensitivity to PBS, IPA, processing solutions, reagents, or latex.
