A Modified Platform Trial of Multiple CAMPs for the Management of Diabetic Foot Ulcers and Venous Leg Ulcers

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring new treatment options for people with hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers. The study aims to see how well different products made from cells and tissues (called CAMPs) work alongside standard care compared to standard care alone in helping these ulcers heal completely. If you or a loved one has a diabetic foot ulcer or a venous leg ulcer that hasn't healed well, you might be eligible to join this study. To qualify, participants must be at least 18 years old and have a specific type of ulcer that has not improved after receiving standard treatment for at least four weeks.

Participants in this trial can expect to visit the study site weekly for treatment and assessments. The study will use advanced imaging technology to measure the size of the ulcers and monitor healing progress. It's important to note that certain medical conditions or treatments may exclude individuals from participating, such as severe infections or specific medications that can interfere with healing. This trial is currently recruiting, so if you think it could be a good fit, consider discussing it with your healthcare provider for more information.

Moleculight Imaging Device is not required for measurements taken during the historical run-in period (e.g., calculating surface area using length X width is acceptable).
• • 13. 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 visit during which time the potential subject received SOC.
• • 14. The potential subject has an acute Charcot foot, or an inactive Charcot foot, which impedes proper offloading of the target ulcer.
• • 15. Women who are pregnant or considering becoming pregnant within the next 6 months are excluded.
• • 16. The potential subject has end stage renal disease requiring dialysis.
• • 17. Participation in a clinical trial involving treatment with an investigational product within the previous 30 days.
• • 18. A potential subject who, in the opinion of the investigator, has a medical or psychological condition that may interfere with study assessments.
• • 19. The target ulcer was treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) or a Cellular, Acellular, Matrix-like Product (CAMP) in the 30 days prior to the initial screening visit.
