Study Summary

This trial will compare a new wound-care treatment to the established standard in treating chronic diabetic foot ulcers.

Who is the study for?
Adults with chronic non-healing diabetic foot ulcers present for more than 4 weeks but less than a year, who have offloaded the ulcer for at least 14 days and have adequate circulation to the affected foot. They must understand and comply with study requirements, including weekly visits, and use contraception if of childbearing potential. Exclusions include pregnancy, breastfeeding, suspected cancerous ulcers, overt infection or recent immune-suppressant use.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Symphony™ combined with off-loading against standard wound dressing (calcium alginate Fibracol) in healing diabetic foot ulcers over a period of 12 weeks. The goal is to assess which treatment is safer and more effective in managing these chronic wounds.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, generally treatments like Symphony™ may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions at the application site. Standard care dressings could also lead to similar local reactions or discomfort.
