Standard of Care
ACTIVE COMPARATORStandard of care will be cleaning, debridement, ulcer moisture balance, and offloading.
Axolotl DualGraft + SOC
EXPERIMENTALAxolotl DualGraft is a dehydrated human amnion membrane.
Interventions
Beginning at the screening visit, participants will receive weekly treatment with standard of care (cleaning, debridement, ulcer moisture balance, and offloading) until ulcer closure, or a maximum of 12 weeks, whichever occurs first.
Participants will receive weekly applications of Axolotl DualGraft and Standard of Care until ulcer closure, or a maximum of 12 weeks, whichever occurs first.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Subjects must be at least 18 years of age or older.
- Subjects must have a diagnosis of type 1 or 2 Diabetes mellitus.
- At randomization subjects must have a target ulcer with a minimum surface area of 1.0 cm2 and a maximum surface area of 5.0 cm2 measured post debridement.
- 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.
- The target ulcer must be located on the foot with at least 50% of the ulcer below the malleolus.
- The target ulcer must be Wagner 1 or 2 grade, extending at least through the dermis or subcutaneous tissue and may involve the muscle provided it is below the medial aspect of the malleolus. The ulcer may not include exposed tendon or bone.
- The affected limb must have adequate perfusion confirmed by vascular assessment. Any of the following methods performed within 3 months of the first screening visit are acceptable:
- ABI ≥ 0.7 and ≤ 1.3;
- TBI ≥ 0.6;
- TCOM ≥ 40 mmHg;
- PVR: biphasic.
You may not qualify if:
- The subject must consent to using the prescribed offloading method for the duration of the study.
- The subject must agree to attend the weekly study visits required by the protocol.
- The subject must be willing and able to participate in the informed consent process.
- A subject known to have a life expectancy of \< 6 months is excluded.
- The subject is excluded if the target ulcer is not secondary to diabetes.
- If the target ulcer is infected or if there is cellulitis in the surrounding skin, the subject is excluded.
- If there is evidence of osteomyelitis complicating the target ulcer, the subject is excluded.
- A potential subject cannot have an infection in the target ulcer or in a remote location that requires systemic antibiotic therapy.
- A subject receiving immunosuppressants (including systemic corticosteroids at doses greater than 10 mg of Prednisone per day or equivalent) or cytotoxic chemotherapy is excluded.
- The topical application of steroids to the ulcer surface within one month of initial screening is not permitted.
- A subject with a previous partial amputation on the affected foot is excluded if the resulting deformity impedes proper offloading of the target ulcer.
- The subject is excluded if the surface area of the target ulcer has reduced in size by more than 20% in the 2 weeks prior to the initial screening visit ("historical" run-in period). Photographic planimetry is not required for measurements taken during the historical run-in period (e.g. calculating surface area using length x width is acceptable).
- The subject is excluded if the surface area measurement of the Target ulcer decreases by 20% or more during the 2-week screening phase: the 2 weeks from the initial screening visit (S1) to the TV-1/randomization visit, during which time the subject received SOC.
- A subject is excluded if they are malnourished: a score of less than 17 on the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA).
- A Subject with an acute Charcot foot, or an inactive Charcot foot, that impedes proper offloading of the target ulcer is excluded.
