Placental membrane patch could speed healing of diabetic foot sores
NCT ID NCT07116876
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a special wound dressing made from donated placental tissue, called Matrion, against standard wound care for diabetic foot ulcers. About 120 adults with diabetes and a foot wound will be assigned to receive either the Matrion graft or usual care. The main goal is to see if the graft leads to more wounds closing completely.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Matrion decellularized placental membrane
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option that helps diabetic foot ulcers heal faster and more completely.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with no phase designation, so results are uncertain. The treatment may not heal wounds better than standard care, and there is a risk of infection or poor healing.

Have a wound with an area greater than or equal to 1cm2 and less than 25 cm2 with a depth less than or equal to 9 mm 6. Have a diabetic foot ulcer that has been present for at least 30 days with a Wagner Classification Grade 1 or 2: * Grade 1: superficial diabetic ulcer involving the full skin thickness but not underlying tissues * Grade 2: ulcer extension involving ligament, tendon, joint capsule, or fascia, without presence of abscess or osteomyelitis 7. Have an absence of infection based on Infectious Disease Society of America criteria (assessed at BOTH Screening/Visit 1 and Baseline/Visit 2) 8. Have an adequate circulation to the affected lower extremity, defined as at least one of the criteria within the previous 60 days: * Transcutaneous oxygen measurement at the dorsum of the foot greater or equal to 30 mm Hg * Ankle-brachial index (ABI) ranging from 0.8 to 1.2 * At least biphasic Doppler arterial waveforms at the dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial arteries 9.

Have provided written authorization for use and disclosure of protected health information 12. Have a life expectancy of greater than 6 months Exclusion Criteria: To be eligible for entry into the study, the subject must not meet any of the exclusion criteria listed below: 1. Be pregnant or lactating 2. Subjects with a target wound \<30 days old at Screening whose wound area has decreased in size ≥50% between the Screening and Baseline Visits (assessed at Baseline/Visit 2) 3. Have a circulating hemoglobin A1c exceeding 12% within 90 days of the Screening Visit (assessed at Screening/Visit 1 for subjects with labs collected \<30 days of screening; assessed at Baseline/Visit 2 for subjects with labs collected at screening) 4. Have a serum creatinine concentration of 3.0 mg/dL or greater within 30 days prior to screening (assessed at Screening/Visit 1 for subjects with labs collected \<30 days of screening; assessed at Baseline/Visit 2 for subjects with labs collected at screening) 5. Have a sensitivity to either of the following antibiotics: lincomycin, gentamicin, polymyxin B, or vancomycin 6. Have a sensitivity to polysorbate 20, N-lauroyl sarcosinate, benzonase or glycerol 7. Have the wound treated with biomedical or topical growth factors within the previous 30 days before the Screening Visit 8. Need for any additional concomitant dressing material other than the ones approved for this study 9. Have clinical signs of an infection at the study ulcer site (assessed at BOTH Screening/Visit 1 and Baseline/Visit 2) 10. Have the inability to tolerate an off-loading boot 11. Have a known or suspected disease of the immune system 12. Have an active or untreated malignancy or active, uncontrolled connective tissue disease 13. Had a treatment with immunosuppressive or chemotherapeutic agents, radiotherapy or systemic corticosteroids less than 30 days before the Baseline Visit 14. Have presence of necrosis, purulence, or sinus tracts that cannot be removed by debridement (assessed at Baseline/Visit 2) 15. Has undergone a revascularization procedure aimed at increasing blood flow in the treatment target limb less than 4 weeks before the Baseline Visit 16. Have serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, or alkaline phosphatase levels greater than three times the normal upper limit within 30 days prior to screening (assessed at Screening/Visit 1 if subject had labs collected \<30 days of screening; assessed at Baseline/Visit 2 if subject had labs collected at screening) 17. Have active Charcot disease 18. Have undergone treatment with a living skin equivalent within the last 4 weeks before screening 19. Have ongoing evidence of peripheral vascular disease, including greater than one nonpalpable pulse on either foot 20.
