Clinical Trial Assessing Human Placental Membrane Products and Standard of Care Versus Standard of Care in Nonhealing DFUs and VLUs

Official title

A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Modified Platform Trial Assessing the Efficacy of Human Placental Membrane Products and Standard of Care Versus Standard of Care Alone in the Management of Nonhealing Diabetic Foot Ulcers and Venous Leg Ulcers.

Overview

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of multiple human placental membrane products and Standard of Care (SOC) versus SOC alone in the management of nonhealing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and venous leg ulcers (VLUs) over 12 weeks using a modified platform trial design.

Detailed description

The C5CAMP trial is a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate subjects that meet medical necessity criteria for cellular, acellular, and matrix-like products (CAMPs). The study utilizes a prospective modified platform design to evaluate two separate CAMPs, AM/Single and AM/Double in a single trial. The initial plan is to evaluate two CAMPs; however, the modified platform design permits the inclusion of additional CAMPs. This study will evaluate the clinical utility of multiple CAMPs in the closure of diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers in subjects in comparison to Standard of Care treatment.

Interventions

• Other Standard of Care - DFU
  Beginning at the screening visit, participants will receive weekly treatment with standard of care (cleaning, debridement, ulcer moisture balance, and offloading) until ulcer closure, or a maximum of 12 weeks, whichever occurs first.
• Other AM/Single - DFU
  Participants will receive weekly applications of AM/Single and Standard of Care until ulcer closure, or a maximum of 12 weeks, whichever occurs first.
• Other AM/Double - DFU
  Participants will receive weekly applications of AM/Double and Standard of Care until ulcer closure, or a maximum of 12 weeks, whichever occurs first.
• Other Standard of Care - VLU
  Beginning at the screening visit, participants will receive weekly treatment with standard of care (cleaning, debridement, ulcer moisture balance, and compression) until ulcer closure, or a maximum of 12 weeks, whichever occurs first.
• Other AM/Single - VLU
  Participants will receive weekly applications of AM/Single and Standard of Care until ulcer closure, or a maximum of 12 weeks, whichever occurs first.
• Other AM/Double - VLU
  Participants will receive weekly applications of AM/Double and Standard of Care until ulcer closure, or a maximum of 12 weeks, whichever occurs first.

• Target ulcer is infected or there is cellulitis in the surrounding skin.
• Target ulcer exposes tendon or bone.
• Evidence of osteomyelitis complicating the target ulcer.
• Infection in the target ulcer or in a remote location that requires systemic antibiotic therapy.
• The subject is receiving immunosuppressants (including systemic corticosteroids at doses greater than 10 mg of prednisone per day or equivalent) or cytotoxic chemotherapy or is taking medications that the PI believes will interfere with wound healing (e.g., biologics).
