Matrix Metalloproteinase-1/Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1/TIMP-1) Ratio and Diabetic Foot Ulcers
- Conditions
- Diabetic Foot Ulcer
- Interventions
- Other: Picture + MMPs and TIMP1 at week 0 and week 4
- Registration Number
- NCT00935051
- Lead Sponsor
- University Hospital, Grenoble
- Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to assess the sensitivity and specificity of a MMP-1/TIMP-1 ratio equal to 0.24 at study entry to predict wound healing at 12 weeks' follow up visit.
- Detailed Description
This monocentric, prospective, non-randomized study assesses the amount of the main metalloproteinases (MMP1, MMP9, MMP13) and their inhibitor TIMP-1 in wound fluid from diabetic foot ulcers.
It aims at demonstrating whether a MMP-1/TIMP-1 ratio equal to 0.24 at study entry can predict wound healing 12 weeks later. All patients will receive the same treatment according to our local protocol. The difference with standard care will be a sample of wound fluid at week 0 and week 4 and a numeric photograph for wound area measurement at week 0, week 4 and week 12.
The main outcome measurement is the percent change of wound area between week 0 and week 12 Secondary objectives include the evaluation of a MMP-1/TIMP-1 ratio equal to 0.4 and the search for confounding factors. A correlation between MMP-9, MMP-13 and wound healing will also be investigated.

Study & Design
- Study Type
- INTERVENTIONAL
- Study Design
- SINGLE_GROUP
- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description Arm 1 Picture + MMPs and TIMP1 at week 0 and week 4 There is only one group of patients. Thus there is only one arm. Sample of wound fluid will be collected using a non traumatic procedure at week 0 and week 4. A numeric photograph of the wound will be taken at week 0, week 4 and week 12.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method MMP-1/TIMP-1 ratio at Week 0 assessed by ELISA and percent change in wound area of diabetic foot ulcer between week 0, week 4 and week 12 Week 0, week 4 and week 12
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Recognized clinical prognostic factors such as wound duration, wound area, wound depth and other possible confounding factors affecting the validity of the MMP-1/TIMP-1 ratio Week 0 to Week 12 Correlation between MMP9, MMP13, MMP9/TIMP1 and MMP13/ TIMP1 ratios and wound healing expressed by the percent change in wound area between week 0, week 4 and week 12. Week 0 and week 4 Evaluation of a MMP-1/TIMP-1 ratio = 0.4 at Week 0 as a predictor of wound healing at week 12 Week 0, week 4 and week 12
