About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Controlled, Evaluator-Blinded Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of NOX1416 in the Treatment of Chronic, Non-Healing, Diabetic Foot Ulcers

The goal of this multi-center, randomized, controlled, evaluator-blinded study is to assess and measure the safety and efficacy of NOX1416 as an adjunct to standard of care (SOC) in the treatment of chronic, non-healing, diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Subjects will be randomized to receive treatment with NOX1416 as an adjunct to Standard of Care (SOC) or SOC alone.

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the safety and tolerability of NOX1416 as adjunct to SOC. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the clinical benefit of daily NOX1416, as an adjunct to SOC, in the treatment of chronic, non-healing diabetic foot ulcers. The study will use a centralized blinded assessor. The blinded assessor will be responsible for assessing the efficacy endpoints such as wound measurements and complete wound closure. The blinded assessor will not be involved in the clinical care of the subject.

Read the detailed description

A total of 40 subjects (25 in the treatment group and 15 in the control group) will be randomized to receive either NOX1416 plus SOC or SOC alone. NOX1416 is a foam based gaseous nitric oxide (NO) product where NO is delivered topically through a microbubble foam. One pump each of Solution A (0.3g, containing citric acid) and Solution B (0.3g, containing Sodium nitrite) will be dispensed and mixed upon depression of the wye nozzle dispenser, and then applied immediately per each square centimeter of wound area using any sterile applicator. NOX1416 is topically applied directly onto the wound bed and left on the wound bed for a 5-minute period then rinsed off or wiped off with a wet, sterile cloth.

Subjects randomized to the NOX1416 treatment group will receive once a day application, for a total of 12 weeks with a double treatment, 10 minutes apart, on the first day. Subjects randomized to the control group will receive standard of care, alone. Standard of care will include evaluation to document, offloading, adequate arterial flow, wound cleansing, removal of necrotic, infected and/or nonviable tissue by debridement, maintenance of a moist wound environment, and management of infection.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of subjects with a Methemoglobin >5% at any assessment point

    Methemoglobin is measured using co-oximetry

    Measured: 14 weeks

  2. Incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    Incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), including serious adverse events and adverse events resulting in permanent discontinuation of protocol-defined therapy

    Measured: 16 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Proportion of subjects with complete wound closure during the 12 weeks of the Treatment Phase

    Complete wound closure is defined as 100% re-epithelialization without drainage or dressing requirements confirmed at two consecutive study visits 2 weeks apart. Complete wound closure will be evaluated by the blinded evaluator.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Wound Area Change (%) during the 12 weeks of the Treatment Phase

    Wound area change is defined as the percentage of wound area change as measured by Swift Imaging device.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Wound volume change (%) during the 12 weeks of the Treatment Phase

    Wound volume change is defined as the percentage of change based on manual measurements of L x W x D in centimeters.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. Time to complete wound closure during the 12 weeks of the Treatment Phase

    Complete wound closure is defined as 100% re-epithelialization without drainage or dressing requirements confirmed at two consecutive study visits 2 weeks apart. Complete wound closure will be evaluated by the blinded evaluator.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  5. Proportion of subjects who do not develop an infection during the 12 weeks of the Treatment Phase

    Based on the clinical signs of infection per PI clinical judgement

    Measured: 12 weeks

  6. Changes in Wound-Q Health-Related Quality of Life (Life Impact Psychological, Social) scores during the 12 weeks of the Treatment Phase

    Life Impact (8 item), Psychological (10 item), and Social (5 item) scales will be used to assess the impact of wound healing on the subject's Quality of Life. There is no overall or total WOUND-Q score. The WOUND-Q is composed of independently functioning scales that are scored separately. To score a scale, the raw scores for the set of items in a scale are added together to produce a total raw score. If missing data is less than 50% of the scale's items, the within person mean for the completed items can be imputed for the missing items prior to computing a total raw score. Once a total raw score for the scale is computed, the Conversion Table can be used to convert the raw score into a score that ranges from 0 (worst) to 100 (best). Higher scores for WOUND-Q scales reflect a better outcome.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing NOX1416 and SOC in people with Diabetic Foot Ulcer, run by NOxy Health Products, LLC at 13 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 20 inclusion and 37 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Number of subjects with a Methemoglobin >5% at any assessment point (time frame: 14 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 20 May 2026.
