Phase 3

Completed

• Conditions: Diabetic Foot Ulcer

• Registration Number: NCT01181440
• Lead Sponsor: Organogenesis

Brief Summary

This study randomly assigns patients with plantar diabetic foot ulcers to receive conventional therapy (debridement, infection control, saline-moistened gauze dressings, and standardized off-weighting) alone or conventional therapy plus Dermagraft(R).
