An interventional study of Dual-layer perinatal tissue allograft and Three-layer fenestrated perinatal tissue allograft in Diabetic Foot Ulcer, sponsored by Samaritan Biologics. Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-02.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if using perinatal tissue allografts improves healing of chronic, non-healing foot ulcers in diabetic patients.
The main question that this study aims to answer is:
Does the use of perinatal tissue allografts in conjunction with standard of care wound management techniques result in a higher percentage of target ulcers achieving complete closure (i.e. healing) as compared to ulcers being treated with standard of care alone after 12 weeks of treatment.
One ulcer on each participant's foot will receive weekly 1) applications of perinatal tissue allografts and standard of care wound management or 2) standard of care wound management alone. Pictures of the ulcer and measurements of its size will be measured every week to track its healing progress over a total treatment period of 12 weeks. Additionally, the participants will be asked to fill out a questionnaire about the wound impacts their life and their quality of life.
Patients with diabetes often develop ulcers on their lower extremities. While some ulcers can be managed using standard of care wound management techniques including debridement, moist dressings, infection control and off-loading, many develop into chronic, non-healing wounds. Chronic non-healing wounds can lead to higher risk of infection, amputation and decreased quality of life.
Advanced wound therapies aim to promote rapid and complete healing of chronic wounds. An example of an advanced wound therapy are perinatal tissue allografts. These include human amniotic / chorionic membranes, which have been confirmed by the United States Food \& Drug Administration's Tissue Reference Group to meet the criteria for regulation solely under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act as defined in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations - Part 1271 for the management of diabetic foot ulcers.
The focus of this clinical trial is to determine the clinical utility of treating diabetic foot ulcers with weekly applications of perinatal tissue allografts in addition to standard of care wound management techniques compared to applying standard of care wound management only.
It is hypothesized that the addition of perinatal tissue allografts to standard of care treatment will result in a higher percentage of ulcers achieving complete closure (i.e. healing) compared to ulcer being treated with standard of care alone after 12 weeks of treatment.
To test this hypothesis the study will consist of patients who will undergo a 2-week screening phase and a 12-week treatment phase. Briefly, during the 2-week screening phase, patients meeting inclusion criteria will have an identified index wound managed with standard of care. Index wounds that are not reduced by more than 20% in the screening phase will be randomized into the treatment groups. During the 12-week treatment phase, index wounds will be treated weekly with either allograft and standard of care or standard of care alone.
Evaluation of data (outcome measures) associated with the trial will include intent to treat and per protocol analyses which will be performed by at least one blinded statistician and investigator.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Started May 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Mar 2027, 22 months after the start.
Of 103 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Diabetic Foot, half reached primary completion within 25 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 40. This study's planned 22 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 343 studies reached it within 22 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 39.
