About this study
Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Study Comparing the Efficacy of the ConvaTec Engenex® Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) Device to Moist Wound Therapy (MWT) in the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Wounds
This is an investigator-initiated prospective, randomized, controlled study. Hypothesis/Objective: The study will evaluate the rates of wound healing among patients with lower extremity diabetic wounds comparing two groups of patients. Group 1, the control group, will be treated with the standard of care treatment of moist wound therapy. Group 2 will be treated with ConvaTec Engenex® NPWT. Both groups will be treated in the inpatient and outpatient setting. It is expected that the NPWT device will be an effective therapy that expedites time to closure and demonstrates a significant decrease in the size and depth of the wound over the course of the 12 week therapy as compared to the standard of care.
Read the detailed description
After determining if you meet the criteria to be included in the study, your wound will be debrided (cleansed of any dead tissue or infection). You will then be randomly placed into one of two treatment groups. Group 1 will be the control group and a moist wound therapy will be applied to the wound. Either you or home nursing will then change the dressing twice a week. Group 2 will have a negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) dressing applied. The NPWT dressing will be changed twice a week by home nursing. You will return to clinic every 2 weeks for a total of 12 weeks for observation and assessment of the diabetic foot ulcer. If wound healing occurs prior to 12 weeks, a final assessment visit will be done and the status of the healed ulcer will be assessed.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Convatec engenex negative pressure wound therapyDevice
Also called Convatec engenex
ConvaTec Engenex® is a negative pressure wound therapy that stimulates wound healing and promotes granulation tissue formation, removal of wound exudate and infectious materials by the application of negative pressure to wounds. It utilizes Bio-Dome™ Dressing technology to effectively control infection, drainage and odor while promoting granulation and wound healing at 75mmHg pressure.
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Overall decrease in wound size
Overall decrease in wound size, summary statistics will be performed comparing both study groups.
Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Convatec engenex negative pressure wound therapy in people with Diabetes and Foot Wound, run by Georgetown University.
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 5 inclusion and 7 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
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?
Overall decrease in wound size (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 9 Mar 2012.
