BLADE-VG2 Trial Summary

This trial tests Stimulan-VG to treat diabetic foot osteomyelitis in the forefoot and evaluates its safety and effectiveness.

Who is the study for?
Adults with diabetic foot osteomyelitis of the forefoot who need surgical debridement but not amputation. They must have diabetes, a confirmed diagnosis of DFO, and agree to contraceptive guidance if applicable. Excluded are those with muscular disorders, severe immune suppression or recent high-dose steroids use, active substance abuse, very high HbA1c levels (>12%), severe kidney issues, large ulcers (>3.5 cm), allergies to trial drugs, significant arterial disease or certain infections.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Stimulan-VG plus standard systemic antibiotics against just the standard care for treating diabetic foot osteomyelitis in the forefoot. It aims to assess safety and measure how much better one group does compared to the other.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to calcium sulfate or antibiotics used (vancomycin/gentamicin), such as allergic responses or kidney problems. There's also a risk of hypercalcemia (high calcium levels) due to components in Stimulan-VG.

What is the intended outcome of this trial?

"As per the study sponsor, Parexel, the primary outcome that will be evaluated at Week 24 is a lack of clinical indications for osteomyelitis. Additionally, secondary metrics such as relative changes in Cardiff Wound Impact Schedule quality-of-life assessments (CWIS QoL), number of participants who underwent an amputation at the index site and those with adverse events are also being monitored. CWIS QoL encompasses domains like social life, wellbeing and physical symptoms to determine overall scores between 0 (lowest) and 100 (highest)."
