Miro3D Wound Matrix for Diabetic Foot Ulcers
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called Miro3D Wound Matrix to determine if it heals diabetic foot ulcers more effectively than standard care alone. The study will compare two groups: one receiving Miro3D with regular wound care and the other receiving only regular care. The goal is to determine if Miro3D leads to faster or more complete healing. Ideal candidates for this trial have a diabetic foot ulcer present for at least four weeks that hasn't healed well with regular care. As an unphased trial, this study offers a unique opportunity to potentially benefit from an innovative treatment while contributing to important research.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are using investigational drugs or therapies, you must stop them at least 30 days before screening.
What prior data suggests that the Miro3D Wound Matrix is safe for treating diabetic foot ulcers?
Research has shown that the Miro3D Wound Matrix is generally safe for use. In a study on diabetic foot ulcers, participants reported no harmful effects from the treatment, indicating no side effects directly caused by Miro3D. Additionally, the FDA has approved the Miro3D Wound Matrix, confirming it has passed safety tests for treating wounds. While this is reassuring, each person's experience may vary, and ongoing studies continue to explore how well individuals tolerate the treatment.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Unlike the standard of care for diabetic foot ulcers, which typically involves wound cleaning, debridement, offloading, and dressings, the Miro3D Wound Matrix offers a unique approach by incorporating a 3D-printed scaffold that promotes tissue regeneration. This innovative matrix is applied directly to the wound and provides a structured environment that may enhance the body's natural healing processes more effectively than traditional methods. Researchers are excited because this treatment has the potential to not only speed up healing but also improve overall wound quality, reducing the risk of complications and the need for more aggressive interventions like surgery.
What evidence suggests that the Miro3D Wound Matrix is effective for diabetic foot ulcers?
Research has shown that using the Miro3D Wound Matrix with standard care might accelerate the healing of diabetic foot ulcers. In this trial, one group of participants will receive the Miro3D Wound Matrix alongside standard care. The Miro3D is a specialized wound covering made from pigs that promotes faster skin regeneration. Studies have found that similar wound coverings can enhance healing and lower the risk of amputation. Early results suggest this treatment helps wounds close more quickly and completely, potentially reducing pain and improving quality of life for individuals with these wounds.15678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with Wagner Grade 1 diabetic foot ulcers or dehisced wounds. Participants must have good blood flow, meet wound size requirements, and be committed to offloading and follow-up care. It's not clear who can't join because the exclusion criteria are not provided.Inclusion Criteria
