This trial is a multicenter, randomized, controlled study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BioREtain® Amnion Chorion (BR-AC) 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 off-loading. 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-AC product following the protocol and procedures set forth within this document.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of a novel decellularized dermal matrix (DDM) DermGEN™ for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Despite several advances in wound treatments, hard-to-heal wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcer, still require 12 to 16 weeks to achieve complete closure. Although the focus of most research into wound-healing treatments has been on moisture and bacterial control, new approaches that target the instability of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in a wound are timely and much needed, particularly for hard-to-heal wounds such as DFUs. Innovative technologies that provide ECM interactions halt the chronic inflammatory cycle and stimulate cells that allow for tissue regeneration and wound healing. DermGEN™ is a human dermal allograft that has been minimally processed from human skin to remove epidermal and dermal cells while preserving the structure and intrinsic properties of the natural extracellular matrix of the dermis. This has potential to facilitate a shorter wound-healing time.

Foot ulcers and amputations are a common and feared complication for people with diabetes. People with a diabetic foot ulcer have a higher risk of dying within five years than people with diabetes without an ulcer. At least one in four people with a new diabetic foot ulcer will die within five years, largely due to cardiovascular causes. The reasons for this increased mortality involve decreased mobility. People with a recently healed diabetic foot ulcer are considered "in remission" as opposed to "cured" because the underlying medical problems which led to their ulcer are still present. Once in remission, the current standard of care is to slowly increase ambulation. The problem is that people rarely return to the recommended level of mobility. The ability to safely maintain mobility with aging is critical. This pilot study is a small clinical trial to test the feasibility and acceptability of a home-based exercise regimen. The investigators will also assess if this home-based exercise regimen can increase mobility and function without increasing diabetic foot ulcer recurrence by improving lower extremity strength, lower extremity tissue perfusion and glycemic control.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if using perinatal tissue allografts improves healing of chronic, non-healing foot ulcers in diabetic patients. The main question that this study aims to answer is: Does the use of perinatal tissue allografts in conjunction with standard of care wound management techniques result in a higher percentage of target ulcers achieving complete closure (i.e. healing) as compared to ulcers being treated with standard of care alone after 12 weeks of treatment. One ulcer on each participant's foot will receive weekly 1) applications of perinatal tissue allografts and standard of care wound management or 2) standard of care wound management alone. Pictures of the ulcer and measurements of its size will be measured every week to track its healing progress over a total treatment period of 12 weeks. Additionally, the participants will be asked to fill out a questionnaire about the wound impacts their life and their quality of life.

The purpose of this study is to look at the benefits of using a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system compared with standard-of-care testing for patients with diabetes type 2 and diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) and how this will improve wound healing. The CGM system allows medical staff and patients with diabetes to monitor and make treatment decisions to improve glucose control, without the need for performing fingersticks. Hence, the use of CGM will decrease the painful and burdensome task of performing finger sticks several times per day and may prevent low blood glucose in patients with diabetes.

This study is a prospective, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Miro3D Wound Matrix plus Standard of Care (SOC) compared to SOC alone in treating Wagner Grade 1 diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and wound dehiscence in an outpatient setting. The trial is sponsored by Reprise Biomedical, Inc. and aims to explore whether the addition of Miro3D-a three-dimensional, acellular porcine-derived wound matrix-enhances wound healing outcomes compared to SOC alone. Purpose of the Study: The primary purpose of the study is to determine whether applying Miro3D in combination with SOC leads to improved healing of diabetic foot ulcers compared to SOC alone. Specifically, the study seeks to assess early wound healing progress at four weeks (as measured by percent area reduction and granulation tissue formation) as a predictor of complete healing by twelve weeks. Key Question the Study Seeks to Answer: Does the addition of Miro3D to standard wound care improve the healing rate and overall wound outcomes for patients with Wagner Grade 1 diabetic foot ulcers or dehisced wounds compared to standard care alone? Study Design Overview: Subjects who meet inclusion/exclusion criteria will be randomized into one of two groups: 1. Miro3D + SOC arm - receiving Miro3D weekly for 4 weeks, then biweekly if needed, for up to 12 weeks. 2. SOC alone (control) arm - receiving SOC without Miro3D. If the wound remains unhealed at 12 weeks in the SOC alone arm, participants may "crossover" to receive Miro3D treatment under the same schedule for an additional 12 weeks. Primary Endpoint: 1. Percent Area Reduction (PAR) and granulation tissue formation at 4 weeks, serving as predictors for wound healing at 12 weeks. Secondary Endpoints: 1. Quality of Life (QOL) improvements, including pain, mobility, and emotional well-being, assessed using a validated Wound/Ulcer-QOL tool. 2. Pain levels using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at each visit. Population: Approximately 30 adult subjects (15 per arm) with Wagner Grade 1 diabetic foot ulcers or dehisced wounds will be enrolled. Subjects must have adequate blood flow, demonstrate wound size criteria, and commit to offloading and follow-up care. Follow-Up: Subjects will be followed weekly through the 12-week study period. Healed subjects will undergo confirmation visits at 2 and 4 weeks post-closure. Subjects in the crossover arm will be followed for an additional 12 weeks if their wound was unhealed at the primary endpoint. Statistical Considerations: Data will be summarized using descriptive statistics, including wound measurements, infection status, and healing rates. Comparative analysis will be conducted between treatment groups and schedules (weekly vs. biweekly Miro3D application). Adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and device-related events will also be documented. This study aims to generate clinical evidence supporting the use of Miro3D as a beneficial adjunct to standard wound care in promoting early and complete healing of diabetic foot ulcers.

This clinical study is being conducted to evaluate how well the Miro3D Wound Matrix helps heal difficult wounds and ulcerations in an outpatient care setting. Miro3D is a biologic wound dressing made from porcine (pig) liver tissue. It is processed to remove all cells, creating a clean scaffold that can support the body's natural healing process. The goal of this study is to see how effective Miro3D is when used alongside standard wound care for helping wounds close and reducing pain and discomfort. The study is designed as a post-market, proof-of-concept trial, meaning the product is already commercially available, and researchers are evaluating how it works in real-world clinical settings. A total of up to 20 adult participants will be enrolled. Participants may have wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, or surgical wound dehiscence. These wounds may be complex in nature, including tunneling or undermining, which often makes them more difficult to treat. Participants will receive standard wound care along with weekly Miro3D applications for the first 4 weeks. If the wound is not fully healed after 4 weeks, Miro3D will then be applied every 2 weeks until healing is achieved or up to 12 weeks total. Throughout the study, participants will return weekly for wound assessments and to complete brief questionnaires about their pain levels and quality of life. The main goals of the study are: 1. To measure how much the wound size shrinks (known as percent area reduction or PAR). 2. To evaluate how much healthy granulation tissue (new tissue) forms in the wound. 3. To compare healing outcomes when Miro3D is used weekly versus every two weeks. 4. To understand how the treatment affects patients' quality of life, including pain, mobility, and emotional wellbeing. Each participant will be closely monitored by the clinical team throughout the 12-week study period. If a wound heals earlier, the participant will finish the study at that time. If the wound does not heal, the participant may return to their regular physician for follow-up care.

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.
