Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this clinical evaluation is to collect and compare outcomes data from patients with UT 1A diabetic foot ulcers treated with 510K FDA cleared, commercially available self-assembling peptide, AC5®Advanced Wound System, as compared to an advanced standard of care. Patient outcomes will be compared at the end of the study.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is a prospective, multi-center randomized controlled study designed to collect patient outcomes data for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. (DFU) All subjects will receive standard of care procedures (SOC) such as wound cleaning, appropriate sharp debridement, and appropriate offloading of the DFU (e.g., offloading Camboot or post op shoe with offloading/wound care insole).

Subjects will be randomized and receive treatments to either of the following arms:

Arm 1 - Subject will receive SOC that will include AC5® Advanced Wound System as an active synthetic cellular tissue product, covered with a non-adherent dressing plus an appropriate outer dressing to maintain moisture balance, then wrapped with stretch gauze and self-adherent wrap. AC5 will be applied weekly and outer dressings will be redressed, if necessary, using the allowed secondary dressings.

Arm 2 - Subject will receive SOC that will include Fibracol Plus collagen dressing as an active dressing. This will be followed with an appropriate outer dressing to maintain moisture balance, then wrapped with stretch gauze and self-adherent wrap as needed. Fibracol Plus will be applied 3 x a week and any outer dressings will be redressed, if necessary, using the allowed dressings.

The study involves two phases: Screening and Treatment.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Arm 1-AC5® Advanced Wound System

The intervention in this arm is the application of a synthetic self assembling peptide matrix (AC5) to UT Grade 1A diabetic foot ulcers

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

AC5® Advanced Wound System

Intervention Type DEVICE

This group will receive AC5® Advanced Wound system, a synthetic self-assembling peptide matrix to the wound and covered with non-adherent dressing followed with appropriate outer dressing to maintain moisture balance. AC5 is applied weekly and outer dressing will be redressed as necessary.

Arm2- Fibracol Plus Collagen dressing

The intervention in this arm is the application of collagen dressings to UT Grade 1A diabetic foot ulcers

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Fibracol Plus Collagen Dressing

Intervention Type DEVICE

This group will receive Fibracol Plus collagen dressing to the wound and covered with appropriate out dressing. Treatment will be done 3x a week.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Males and females aged 18 or older.
2. Subject is willing to sign informed consent and participate in all procedures with follow up evaluations as necessary to complete the study.
3. Study ulcer is diabetic in origin, located on the foot or below the malleolus with ulcer extending through the dermis but not into tendon, muscle or bone (UT Grade 1A).
4. Study ulcer size is a minimum of 2 cm2 and maximum 25 cm2 after the run-in period.
5. Study ulcer has been present for a minimum of 4 weeks before enrollment and less than 1 year old, with documented failure of prior treatment to heal the wound.
6. Study ulcer has been offloaded for at least 14 days prior to randomization.
7. A two-week run-in period will precede enrollment in the trial to document the indolent nature of the subjects selected; healing rate is not to be \> 40% during this period.
8. Subject does not exhibit clinical signs / symptoms of infection upon gross observation or have been diagnosed with an active infection at time of screening.
9. Subject has adequate control of diabetes demonstrated by Hemoglobin A1c \< 12% within 90 days of screening.
10. Subject has adequate circulation to the affected extremity, as demonstrated by one of the following within the past 60 days of the first screening visit:

* Dorsal transcutaneous oxygen measurements (TCOM) ≥ 30mmHg.
* Ankle-Brachial Index with results of ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 1.5 or had past intervention.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Study ulcer wound surface is area greater than 25 cm2.
2. Study ulcer has \> 40% wound healing during the 14 days screening period.
3. Subject has a known history of poor compliance with medical treatments.
4. Subject is presently participating in another clinical trial.
5. Subject has a known or suspected local malignancy to the Study diabetic ulcer, or systemic malignancy.
6. Subject has been diagnosed with autoimmune connective tissues diseases.
7. Subject has received graft material or topical growth factors on the study ulcer within the previous 30 days.
8. Subject has received application of topical steroids on the study ulcer surface within the previous 30 days.
9. Subject is pregnant or breast feeding.
10. Subject is on dialysis.
11. Subject is taking medications that are considered immune system modulators or cytotoxic chemotherapies.
12. Subject cannot be on systemic antibiotics prior to randomization, however, during the treatment phase infection management may include systemic antibiotics if in conjunction with debridement.
13. Subject has a known allergy to ingredients/components of AC5.
14. Subject has osteomyelitis, and/or bony prominences present in the wound.
15. Subject has ulcer probing to bone and tendon. (UT Grade II or III A-D).
16. Subject is unable to comply with planned study procedures and treatments.
