Study summary

This is a randomized controlled crossover trial evaluating the efficacy of NeoThelium FT in conjunction with standard of care vs. standard of care alone in treating diabetic foot ulcers.

Read the detailed description

This research will take place across multiple medical centers, where both researchers and participants will know which treatment is being used (open label). Patients who agree to participate and meet the study requirements during screening will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: either standard of care (SOC) alone, or SOC plus NeoThelium FT.

The study includes a crossover component for subjects in the SOC arm. At treatment visit 13 (approximately 84 days post-randomization), SOC arm subjects not having achieved complete wound closure, and still meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria, are eligible to cross over to the IP arm (SOC plus NeoThelium FT). Crossover subjects will begin IP arm treatment with weekly NeoThelium FT applications for up to 12 treatment visits. The subject will continue follow-up per the original schedule. As this is a post-marketing study, it will gather information regarding the efficacy of treatment while also supporting insurance reimbursement decisions. All subjects will complete a two-week screening phase prior to being randomized into a treatment arm. Treatment arms will consist of NeoThelium FT in conjunction with standard of care, vs. standard of care alone. The primary endpoint will be the percentage of target ulcers that achieve complete wound closure within 12 weeks. Secondary endpoints consist of wound area reduction rates, time to closure, follow-up closure, and pain assessment.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subject has a known life expectance of \<1 year
  2. Subject is unable to comply with protocol treatment
  3. Subject has major uncontrolled medical disorders in the opinion of the investigator, such as serious cardiovascular, renal, liver, pulmonary, , palliative care, or inherited blood disorders that may affect wound healing
  4. Subject actively being treated for malignant disease or history of or radiation therapy at the site of wound
  5. Subject has comorbid conditions that may compromise subject safety in the opinion of the investigator
  6. Known to tissue-engineered allograft
  7. Concurrent participation in alternative clinical trial that involves drug or device interfering with wound treatment and/or healing
  8. Subject is pregnant or breastfeeding
  9. Subject with history of treatment (systemic >10mg daily dose), cytotoxic chemotherapy, or topical steroid application to the ulcer surface for >2 weeks duration within 30 days prior to randomization; or anticipated use of the above during the course of the study
  10. Wound previously treated with CAMPs, tissue engineered, or scaffold materials within 30 days prior to randomization
  11. Diabetic foot ulcer of Wagner 3 grade with active acute infection that has not completed IV antibiotic treatment, or Wagner 3 grade with chronic osteomyelitis
  12. Wound depth with visible exposed bone
  13. HBOT within 14 days prior to randomization
  14. Revascularization surgery on the index ulcer leg within 30 days of screening phase
  15. Index ulcer suspicious of neoplasm in the opinion of the principal investigator
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

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.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Informed consent

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.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Investigational drug or device

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.

Immunosuppression

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.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

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.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.
