Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of human placental membrane products and standard of care versus standard of care alone in the management of nonhealing diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers.

Read the detailed description

This study is a multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled clinical study consisting of 650 subjects from up to 30 centers. The subjects are randomized to receive 1 of 4 treatments, either with Tri-Membrane Wrap™ (HPM-1); Membrane Wrap™ (HPM-2); Membrane Wrap-Lite™ (HPM-3); Membrane Wrap-Hydro™ (HPM-4); and SOC. The target ulcers are evaluated weekly by the investigator. The subject is treated once a week, to receive weekly applications of HPM-1 - HPM - 4 + SOC or SOC alone until or up to 12 weeks or until the study ulcer has completely closed (i.e. 100% closure as assessed by the investigator and confirmed 2 weeks later at the closure confirmation visit (CCV). One additional visit per week is optional for both arms, for the purpose of changing only (1) the secondary dressing in the HPM arm or (2) change the standard of care dressing in the control arm. A trial design diagram is found in Figure 3.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Determine the between-arm difference percentage of subjects achieving complete closure of target ulcer over 12 weeks.

    To determine the between-arm difference of multiple Human Placental Membrane (HPM) products plus SOC versus SOC alone in achieving complete closure of nonhealing diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers over 12 weeks using a modified dual platform (Matriarch) trial design. The initial plan is to evaluate several HPM per wound type; however, the modified platform design permits the inclusion of additional placental and umbilical cord derived products and can continue in perpetuity.

    Time frame: 1-12 Weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to Closure

    To determine the between-arm difference in the time to closure over 12 weeks for HPM plus SOC versus SOC alone.

    Time frame: 1-12 weeks

  2. Percent Area Reduction (PAR)

    To determine the between-arm difference in the percent area reduction (PAR) at weekly intervals for HPM plus SOC versus SOC alone.

    Time frame: 1-12 weeks

  3. Determine improvement in quality of life

    To determine the between-arm difference in the quality of life for subjects receiving HPM plus SOC compared to SOC alone using the Wound Quality of Life (wQOL) questionnaire. Scores on a scare from "Not at all" to "Very much."

    Time frame: 1-12 Weeks

  4. Pain in patients who present with VAS greater than 4

    To determine the between-arm difference in pain for patients that present with a Visual Analog Sale (VAS) score of greater than 4. The VAS has a scale of 0-10. 0 Meaning no pain and 10 being the worst pain.

    Time frame: 1-12 weeks

  5. Proportion of patients that reach complete closure over 65

    To determine the proportion of ulcers that heal in patients 65 years or older for HPM plus SOC versus SOC alone.

    Time frame: 1-12 weeks

  6. Functional Ambulatory Category Scale

    To evaluate the between-arm difference in functional ambulation based on Functional Ambulatory Category Scale (FACS) - VLU subjects only. FACS is a scale from 0-5, 5 being completely independent and ambulatory on all surfaces.

    Time frame: 1-12 Weeks

  7. Determine improvement in quality of life

    To determine the between-arm difference in the quality of life for subjects receiving HPM plus SOC compared to SOC alone using the Forgotten Wound Score (FWS) questionnaire. Forgotten wound scores situations on a scale of "never" to "mostly."

    Time frame: 1-12 Weeks
