Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Diabetic Foot Ulcer
Interventions
Device: Transforming Powder Dressing
Other: Standard of care topical wound agents and dressings
Registration Number
NCT05046158
Lead Sponsor
ULURU Inc.
Brief Summary

Phase IV, randomized, prospective, multi-center, open-label, comparison of transforming powder dressing to standard of care dressing for healing diabetic foot ulcers.

Detailed Description

Diabetic men and women aged 18-89 years, who have a diabetic foot ulcer present for a minimum of 30 days will be considered for the study. Subjects will be randomized to either standard of care wound dressings or transforming powder dressing. Half of the subjects will receive standard of care dressings, and the other half will receive transforming powder dressing in a 1:1 randomization process at each of the study sites. Subjects will present to the study center weekly for up to 12 weeks (less time if the wound heals prior to 12 weeks). The last study visit occurs 12 weeks after the End of Study visit.

Transforming Powder DressingTransforming Powder DressingHalf of the subjects will be randomized to Transforming Powder Dressing to treat their diabetic foot ulcers. Wounds will be evaluated weekly, debrided if needed, photographed, and measured. A wound dressing will be applied using Transforming Powder Dressing and the wound will be offloaded when necessary (pressure taken off of the wound using a total contact cast or other device). Wound healing progress will be monitored and compared to other standard of care dressings used to treat diabetic foot ulcers.Surveys regarding pain and quality of life will be completed at each study visit.
Standard of Care DressingStandard of care topical wound agents and dressingsHalf of the subjects will be randomized to receive standard of care wound dressings to treat their diabetic foot ulcers. Wounds will be evaluated weekly, debrided if needed, photographed, and measured. A wound dressing will be applied using standard of care wound products, and the wound will be offloaded when necessary (pressure taken off of the wound using a total contact cast or other device). Wound healing progress will be monitored and compared to transforming powder dressings used to treat diabetic foot ulcers. Surveys regarding pain and quality of life will be completed at each study visit.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of wound closure12 weeks

Compare rate of complete wound healing in diabetic foot wounds between the two study groups

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Adverse Events12 weeks

Safety as indicated by adverse events (new or worsening conditions) and frequency of wound infections

Clinician Acceptability12 weeks

Based on clinician survey completed at end of study (8 questions total, multiple choice or 7 point Likert scale)

Quality of Life while living with a wound12 weeks

Compare differences in quality of life between the groups based on results of completed validated "Wound Quality of Life Questionnaire for Chronic Wounds" (17 questions total, answering a 5 point scale \[not at all to very much\], results from answers based on formula)

Subject Satisfaction12 weeks

Evaluate subject satisfaction of wound care products based on "Research subject satisfaction survey" completed at the end of study (8 questions total using a 7 point Likert scale).

Wound pain12 weeks

Compare differences in pain between the groups based on results of a validated 10 point "Visual Analogue Pain Scale" completed at each visit by all subjects. More pain is indicated by higher scores.

Wound healing trajectories and time to wound closure12 weeks

Evaluate differences in wound healing trajectories and time to wound closure between the two study groups
