Filter by:One in four Veterans is affected by diabetes and will develop a diabetic foot ulcer. Diabetic ulcers are very challenging to manage and are the most common cause of leg amputation. Many advanced treatments are expensive and difficult to use in the clinic or at home. Those newer therapies have shown little success in healing diabetic foot wounds. The investigators' laboratory and animal work has suggested that a safe medication, currently used as an eye drop for treatment of glaucoma, can heal these ulcers. The investigators are proposing to test this drop (timolol) directly on the surface of the foot ulcer to see if can improve healing faster than the current standard of care. To do this, the investigators propose a "randomized controlled trial" with two groups of patients with diabetic foot ulcers: one will receive standard of care with timolol while the other will receive standard of care with a gel (hydrogel, as placebo medicine).
It is hypothesized that application of the human placental umbilical cord tissue TTAX01 to the surface of a well debrided, complex diabetic foot ulcer will, with concomitant management of infection, result in a higher proportion of wounds showing complete healing within 16 weeks of initiating therapy.
Klorsept is a debridement solution of necrotic infected tissue promoting wound healing. The aim of this study is to elaborate the effectiveness and safety of this solution.
This study is designed as a prospective, open-label trial focused on assessing the safety and tolerability of ExpressGraft-C9T1 skin tissue in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Because the focus is on safety rather than efficacy, a standard of care comparator is not included in this first-in-human study. Targeted enrollment for this study is up to 6 subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of diabetes and who have foot ulcers. Subjects will each receive a single application of ExpressGraft-C9T1 skin tissue on a single identified study DFU following a 10-14 day run-in period. Any subjects requiring additional treatment will receive protocol-defined dressings through Study Treatment Week 12 as necessary. Enrollment will occur with a minimum of one week between each subject.
