What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Compare Energy Charge Between Wound Treatment Therapies

    Energy charge is a calculated ratio of the parameters ATP (µg), ADP (µg), and AMP (µg) which are measured with the same unit.

    Energy Charge is calculated as follows:

    Energy Charge = (ATP + (0.5 * ADP)) / (ATP + ADP + AMP)

    Where, ATP = Adenosine triphosphate, ADP = Adenosine diphosphate, AMP = Adenosine monophosphate

    Measured: Day 0, Day 2, Day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Powered Suction Pump (VAC Freedom), Powered Suction Pump and MWT in people with Diabetic Foot Ulcers, run by KCI USA, Inc at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Dec 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Compare Energy Charge Between Wound Treatment Therapies (time frame: Day 0, Day 2, Day 7). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Oct 2024.
