Study summary

This study has been designed to help determine how safe and effective DermaPure™ may be in treating hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers compared to the current standard of care.

Read the detailed description

DermaPure™ is a decellularized dermal skin substitute using the Tissue Regenix dCELL® patented Technology to remove cells and other components from human and animal tissue while maintaining the native structural and biomechanical properties. The primary objective of the study is to establish the wound healing performance and safety of DermaPure™ over a 12 week period, when administered to "hard to heal" chronic, neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers. This study has been designed to compare the performance of DermaPure™ (in combination with standard care) versus standard care alone.

Inclusion criteria

  • Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes with HbA1c ≤12%
  • Adequate perfusion
  • A full thickness chronic, neuropathic diabetic foot plantar ulcer defined by Texas or Wagner classification.
  • Target ulcer decreases in size (surface area) by less than 30% in the 2 week screening period.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of wound closure

    The incidence of full wound closure at or before 12 weeks, where full wound closure is defined as "100% re-epithelialization, without drainage, that has been confirmed at two study visits up to 14 days apart".

    Time frame: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Rate of wound healing

    Percentage reduction in ulcer area and volume, weekly up to Week 12 compared to baseline.

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  2. Quality of wound healing

    Cellular profile through histological analysis of wound biopsies at Week 4 compared to baseline

    Time frame: 4 weeks

Other outcomes

  1. Rate of wound healing in crossover arm

    Percentage reduction in ulcer area and volume, weekly up to Week 18 compared to Week 12 for a subset of subjects who receive first application of DermaPure™ at Week 12 (Crossover arm).

    Time frame: 6 weeks
