About this study

Official title: A Single Center, Prospective, Non-Randomized, Historical Controlled Trial of dHACM In the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers

A single-centered, non-randomized study with approximately 20 subjects that will be seen for up to 12 weeks, each receiving the EpiFix plus standard of care. Safety and effectiveness will be monitored throughout the study.

Read the detailed description

Approximately 20 subjects will be enrolled in this study. Subjects will be seen for up to12 weeks unless 100% epithelialization of the index wound and two subsequent healing confirmation visits have been achieved prior to week 12. Each subject will receive a weekly application of the EpiFix plus standard of care until 100% epithelialization is achieved. The subjects will be evaluated for efficacy and safety during the course of the trial.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing EpiFix in people with Diabetic Foot Ulcers, run by MiMedx Group, Inc. at 1 site in Canada.

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 15 inclusion and 22 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The percentage of subjects with complete closure of the study ulcer (time frame: 12 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 25 Aug 2017.
