About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose Range Finding Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Intramuscular Injection of Human Placenta-Derived Cells (PDA-002) in Subjects With Diabetic Foot Ulcer With and Without Peripheral Arterial Disease.

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study evaluating the efficacy and safety of intramuscular administration of human placenta-derived cells (PDA-002) in subjects with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), including subjects with and without peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Subjects were randomized to receive one of three dose levels of PDA-002 or placebo. Randomization was stratified by PAD status. The study evaluated wound healing and safety outcomes over the follow-up period.

Read the detailed description

This Phase 2 study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PDA-002, a human placenta-derived cell therapy, administered via intramuscular injection in subjects with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). The study included subjects with and without peripheral arterial disease (PAD), reflecting a broader DFU population.

Subjects were randomized in a parallel-group design to receive PDA-002 at one of three dose levels (3 × 10^6, 10 × 10^6, or 30 × 10^6 cells) or matching placebo, administered on Study Days 1 and 8. Randomization was stratified by PAD status.

The primary objective was to assess efficacy in terms of wound healing outcomes, with secondary objectives evaluating vascular parameters such as ankle-brachial index (ABI), toe-brachial index (TBI), and transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2), as well as overall safety.

The study was terminated early due to a business decision; however, subjects were followed according to protocol-defined follow-up schedules.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Subjects With Complete Wound Closure of the Index Ulcer Within 3 Months

    Complete wound closure is defined as closure of the index ulcer within 3 months after dosing and retaining wound closure for the subsequent 4 weeks.

    Measured: Within 3 months after dosing, with confirmation over the subsequent 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of Subjects With Complete Wound Closure of the Index Ulcer Within 3 Months by PAD Status

    Results are presented by baseline peripheral arterial disease (PAD) status (subjects with PAD and subjects without PAD). Complete wound closure is defined as closure of the index ulcer and retaining wound closure for the subsequent 4 weeks.

    Measured: Within 3 months after dosing, with confirmation over the subsequent 4 weeks

  2. Percentage of Subjects With Improvement in Rutherford Classification at Month 3 in Subjects With PAD

    Responders are defined as subjects who improved by at least 1 numeric Rutherford category from baseline. Results are reported for subjects with peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

    Measured: Month 3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PDA-002 in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease and Diabetic Foot, run by Celularity Incorporated at 45 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 10 inclusion and 26 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 12 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 45 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Jun 2026). 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?

Percentage of Subjects With Complete Wound Closure of the Index Ulcer Within 3 Months (time frame: Within 3 months after dosing, with confirmation over the subsequent 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02264288, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Jun 2026.
