This trial is a multicenter, randomized, controlled study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BioREtain® Amniotic Membrane (BR-AM) plus standard of care versus standard of care only in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. The trial design will control potential variables that may affect the outcome between the treatment group and the control group by standardizing the requirements for debridement, wound dressings, and offloading. Weekly subject visits will help monitor compliance in wound care and off-loading, as well as to document when wound closure is achieved. The study will also implement the use of an electronic imaging and measurement device using a standardized protocol to ensure the measuring of the wound surface area and volume is accurate, highly reproducible, and minimally variable. There will also be a crossover treatment phase for those patients that were relegated to standard care only. After their 12-week standard of care treatment phase and for only those subjects that did not achieve complete wound closure, will be allowed to crossover for an additional 12 weeks of treatment with the BR-AM product following the protocol and procedures set forth within this document.

OneStep Foot Scanner for Foot Ulcer

Monroeville, Pennsylvania
This study is a prospective, observational investigation evaluating the effectiveness of Remote ThermoVisual Monitoring (RTVM) in the early detection of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) in high-risk populations. The primary objective is to compare the incidence of Wagner stage 2 or higher DFUs at the time of presentation between patients using RTVM and a matched control group from a retrospective patient database. Participants will include adults aged 18 years or older with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus and a history of a plantar DFU that healed within the past five years. The study will enroll approximately 100 participants across up to 30 centers affiliated with SerenaGroup®. The intervention involves daily use of the OneStep Foot Scanner™, which measures temperature and captures visual images of the soles of the feet to detect signs of inflammation or anomalies. Secondary objectives include evaluating ulcer-free survival, amputation-free survival, time to first evaluation for new DFUs, and healthcare utilization rates. Exploratory endpoints will assess neuropathy-specific quality of life and the costs associated with ulcer and amputation care. Participants will be monitored over a period of 12 months. Results from this study aim to provide insights into the efficacy of RTVM as a preventative tool for managing diabetic foot health and reducing the burden of DFUs in high-risk populations.

Diabetic foot ulcers are common, debilitating, and costly complications of diabetes, disproportionately impacting Black and rural Veterans. Forty percent of individuals have an ulcer recurrence within a year of ulcer healing and 65% within 5 years. Monitoring plantar foot temperatures is one of the few interventions that reduces the risk of ulcer recurrence. Despite the evidence, adoption has been poor because the original procedures, including the use of handheld thermometers, were burdensome and time-consuming. Podimetrics, a private company, has developed a temperature monitoring system involving a "smart" mat that can wirelessly transmit data and a remote monitoring team that works with VA providers to assist with triage and monitoring. This care model has incredible promise, but has been untested in VA. The investigators propose to conduct a randomized trial to evaluate effectiveness of remote temperature monitoring as well as costs. Additionally, the investigators will evaluate the implementation process, including barriers and facilitators to use among key stakeholders.

The United States Department of Veterans Affairs spends an estimated $1.5 billion a year on healthcare for patients with diabetes. The prevalence and complications of diabetes increase with age. Therefore, with the aging of the US and Veteran populations, there is an expectation of increased healthcare costs associated with treating diabetes and the associated complications of this disorder. One common complication is the diabetic foot ulcer. Diabetic foot ulcers are expensive to treat, can take a long time to heal and result in a decrease in patient quality of life. Patients remain susceptible to developing more foot ulcers over time. The goal of this project is to reduce the time it takes to heal a diabetic foot ulcer, increase the time between episodes of ulceration and improve the quality of life for diabetic foot ulcer patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Diabetic Foot clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Diabetic Foot clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Diabetic Foot trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Diabetic Foot is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Diabetic Foot medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Diabetic Foot clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Perinatal Membrane Allografts for Diabetic Foot Ulcers, Platelet Rich Plasma for Foot Ulcer and NOX1416 for Diabetic Foot Ulcers to the Power online platform.
