Trial summary

Diabetic patients with a history of diabetic foot are considered to be a high-risk population for increased cardiovascular and all-cause mortality (1,2,3,).

About this study

Diabetic patients with a history of diabetic foot are considered to be a high-risk population for increased cardiovascular and all-cause mortality (1,2,3,). Diabetic foot (DF) is responsible for more hospitalizations than any other complication of diabetes and are the leading cause of non-traumatic lower extremity amputations, resulting in nearly 100 000 amputations annually in the US alone (4,5,6). Surgical debridement, as an important component of standard of care of diabetic foot, is intended to remove healing-impaired tissue, decreases bacterial burden, thus to stimulate overall wound closure, while removing as little of healing-competent skin as possible. Furthermore, debrided tissue is often used as a valuable tissue source for research purposes (7,8,9,10). Debrided tissue presents valuable diagnostic and research source to verify pathology, assess prognosis and gain insights into DF molecular pathology, all of which ultimately leads to improved outcomes.

We aimed to validate tissue obtained from surgical debridement of DF for the cellular/molecular tissue analyses and biomarkers, to evaluate the pathophysiology of DF and understanding mechanisms that inhibit healing.

The age range will be 50-70 years, in order to minimize the effects of irreversible vascular wall changes induced progressively by the aging process. All patients will undergo screening procedures that will include full anamnesis, physical examination, basic laboratory blood tests (full chemistry, CBC); urine examination and EKG will be performed at start and at the end of the study. Patients with a significant myocardial, and renal, cerebrovascular or hepatic disease will be excluded from the study.

In a prospective study, we will collect wound edge tissue specimens from 75 patients with DF during surgical debridement. From each patient, 1-4 specimens will be obtained per debridement. To evaluate debrided tissue, each specimen will be processed for paraffin embedding and stained with haematoxylin and eosin. Histopathology analysis of multiple specimens acquired from the same wound will be analysed.

Histopathology analysis of multiple specimens acquired from the same wound will be analysed. Full-thickness epidermis biopsies will be followed by biomarker assessment such as:

  1. Expression of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R)
  2. Adiponectin
  3. Leptin
  4. Resistin
  5. Osteocalcin
  6. Osteoprotegerin
  7. Insulin, c-peptid
  8. HOMA-IR Blood sampling for chemistry and metabolic markers including lipids, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, HbA1C, HOMA-IR , CRP, plasma adiponectin, visfatin, resistin, and plasma leptin will be performed. Additionally, relationship between serum and tissue adipokines level will be evaluated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetic Foot, run by Wolfson Medical Center.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 12 May 2017. 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.

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?

dIABETIC FOOT ULCERS INCIDENCE (time frame: 1 year). 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 12 May 2017.
