Overview
This clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of the Nanordica Advanced Antibacterial Wound Dressing (AAWD) in patients suffering from diabetic foot ulcers. At least 170 participants will be randomly allocated to be treated either with AAWD or Aquacel Ag+ Extra wound dressing for a 4-week active phase (intervention) followed by an 8-week standard of care period.
Interventions
- Device Advanced Antibacterial Wound Dressing
For the first 4 weeks, wound dressing will be changed twice weekly. Subsequently, dressing selection and change frequency will be managed by the investigator as part of the standard of care for another 8 weeks. - Device Aquacel Ag+ Extra
For the first 4 weeks, wound dressing will be changed twice weekly. Subsequently, dressing selection and change frequency will be managed by the investigator as part of the standard of care for another 8 weeks.
Primary outcome measures
- CWC at 12 weeks [Time frame: 12 weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- CWC at 4 weeks [Time frame: 4 weeks]
