Clinical Trial Evaluating an Amnion Membrane Allograft for Use in the Management of Non- Healing Diabetic Foot Ulcers Versus Standard Of Care

Description

The main purpose of this research study is to compare the proportion of wound closure in subjects that receive E-GRAFT™ with Standard of Care (SOC) versus FIBRACOL™ with SOC. Other research purposes include the following: * Rate of wound closure * Change in ulcer size over 12 weeks * Any adverse events or reactions (side effects) * Changes in neuropathy (nerve damage) * Change in pain levels * Occurrence of infection

Conditions

Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFUs)

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • 1. Subjects must be at least 18 years of age or older.
  • 2. Subjects must have a diagnosis of type 1 or 2 Diabetes mellitus.
  • 3. At randomization subjects must have a target diabetic foot ulcer with a minimum surface area of 1.0 cm2 and a maximum surface area of 10.0 cm2 measured post debridement with manual measurement.
  • 4. The target ulcer must have been present for a minimum of 4 weeks and a maximum of 52 weeks of standard of care prior to the initial screening visit.
  • 5. The target ulcer must be located on the foot with at least 50% of the ulcer below the malleolus.
  • 6. The target ulcer must be full thickness on the foot or ankle that does not probe to bone.
  • 7. Adequate circulation to the affected foot as documented by any of the following methods performed within 3 months of the first screening visit:
  • 1. TCOM ≥30 mmHg
  • 2. ABI between 0.7 and 1.3
  • 3. PVR: Biphasic
  • 4. TBI ˃0.6
  • 5. As an alternative, arterial Doppler ultrasound can be performed evaluating for biphasic dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial vessels at the level of the ankle.
  • 8. If the subject has two or more ulcers, they must be separated by at least 2 cm. The largest ulcer satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be designated as the target ulcer.
  • 9. Target ulcers located on the plantar aspect of the foot must be offloaded for at least 14 days prior to randomization.
  • 10. The subject must consent to using the prescribed off-loading method for the duration of the study.
  • 11. The subject must agree to attend the weekly study visits required by the protocol.
  • 12. The subject must be willing and able to participate in the informed consent process.
  • 1. A subject known to have a life expectancy of \< 6 months is excluded.
  • 2. If the target ulcer is infected or if there is cellulitis in the surrounding skin, the subject is excluded.
  • 3. Presence of osteomyelitis or exposed bone, probes to bone or joint capsule on investigator's exam or radiographic evidence.
  • 4. Index ulcer and/or index ulcer limb may have had prior infection(s), but infection(s) must be adequately treated and controlled
  • 5. A subject receiving immunosuppressants (including systemic corticosteroids at doses greater than 10 mg of Prednisone per day or equivalent) or cytotoxic chemotherapy is excluded.
  • 6. The topical application of steroids to the ulcer surface within one month of initial screening is not permitted.
  • 7. A subject with a previous partial amputation on the affected foot is excluded if the resulting deformity impedes proper offloading of the target ulcer.
  • 8. If a subject has a glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) greater than or equal to 12% taken at or within 3 months of the initial screening visit he/she is excluded.
  • 9. If a subject has a serum creatinine ≥ 3.0mg/dL within 6 months of randomization he/she is excluded.
  • 10. The subject is excluded if the surface area measurement of the target ulcer has reduced in size by more than 30% in the 2 weeks prior to the initial screening during the 2-week screening phase: the 2 weeks from the initial screening visit (SV1) to the TV1/randomization visit during which time the subject received SOC.
  • 11. A subject with an acute Charcot foot, or an inactive Charcot foot, that impedes proper offloading of the target ulcer is excluded.
  • 12. Women who are pregnant or considering becoming pregnant within the next 6 months are excluded.
  • 13. A potential subject with end stage renal disease requiring dialysis is excluded.
  • 14. A subject who, in the opinion of the Investigator, has a medical or psychological condition that may interfere with study assessments is excluded.
  • 15. Subject treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy or a Cellular and/or Tissue Product (CTP) in the 30 days prior to the initial screening visit is excluded.
