The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if using perinatal tissue allografts improves healing of chronic, non-healing foot ulcers in diabetic patients.
The main question that this study aims to answer is:
Does the use of perinatal tissue allografts in conjunction with standard of care wound management techniques result in a higher percentage of target ulcers achieving complete closure (i.e. healing) as compared to ulcers being treated with standard of care alone after 12 weeks of treatment.
One ulcer on each participant's foot will receive weekly 1) applications of perinatal tissue allografts and standard of care wound management or 2) standard of care wound management alone. Pictures of the ulcer and measurements of its size will be measured every week to track its healing progress over a total treatment period of 12 weeks. Additionally, the participants will be asked to fill out a questionnaire about the wound impacts their life and their quality of life.
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 20.0 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.
Target ulcers located on the plantar aspect of the foot must be offloaded for at least 14 days prior to enrollment.
The potential subject must consent to using the prescribed offloading method for the duration of the study.
The potential subject must agree to attend the weekly study visits required by the protocol.
The potential subject must be willing and able to participate in the informed consent process.
