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 patient outcome data and evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of HealthTech DermaBind TL™ in patients with chronic non-healing wounds in patients with chronic non-healing ulcers.

Detailed Description

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

This clinical trial will assess the effectiveness of HealthTech Wound Care's medical intervention with the use of DermaBind TL™. HealthTech Wound Care will analyze data related to specific endpoints, such as, wound area preservation over time, rate of wound infection over time, rate of wound reoccurrence post-treatment through EOS, the average number of grafts used per subject and incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events. The goal is to determine whether the intervention produces the desired effects. HealthTech Wound Care will use each study subject's historical data in relation to existing treatments when summarizing data.

This study is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, single arm clinical trial designed to collect patient outcome data on commercially available dressing/covering for the protection of DFUs or VLUs over a 12-week treatment period. Wound assessment will be conducted by a clinician, Principal Investigator/Sub-Investigator at each site.

The study will include adult patients with chronic non-healing wounds that have failed to respond to standard or conservative treatments. These wounds may include diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers.

The treatment period will be 12 weeks, during which DermaBind TL™ will be applied to the affected wound. The study will monitor outcomes related to , wound area protection, infection rates, through EOS, and adverse events.

The study involves two phases: Screening and Treatment

Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of DermaBind TL

The SOC therapy in this study is offloading of the DFU or VLU (Foot Defender® CAM boots or total contact casting \[TCC\] if the subject's foot is too large for a CAM Boot), appropriate sharp or surgical debridement, infection management and wound care covering with dehydrated Placental membrane tissue allograft (DERMABIND TL™), and a non-adherent dressing, followed by a padded 3-layer dressing comprised of 4x4 gauze pads, soft roll and compressive wrap (DynaflexTM or equivalent).

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

* 1\. Be an adult between 18 and 80 years of age at the time of consent 2. Presence of a DFU, Wagner Grade 1 or 2 (see Appendix A for definitions) on the plantar, lateral or dorsal aspect of the foot, extending through the dermis provided it is below the medial aspect of the malleolus.

3\. Subjects must have a diagnosis of Type I or Type II diabetes mellitus (DM) as defined by the American Diabetes Association
1. for Type I DM, have been on a stable anti-diabetic treatment for at least 30 days before the baseline visit, or
2. for Type II DM, must have been on a stable anti-diabetic medication for at least 30 days, or if diet-controlled only, must have been on stable diet-control for at least 6 months.

4\. For Type I and Type II DM, A1C must be equal or \<10% in the last 30 days, or confirmed during the screening period (SV1 up to TV1) 5. Have a single target ulcer 6. If other DFU wounds are present on the same foot, they must be more than 2 cm distant from the index ulcer. \[NOTE: If two or more DFUs are present with the same grade on the same foot, the index ulcer is the largest ulcer and the only one evaluated in the study.\] 7. Have a wound with an area greater than 1cm2 and less than 25 cm2 and does not probe to bone 8. Index ulcer has been present for greater than 4 weeks prior to SV1 and less than 1 year, as of the date the subject consents for study.

9\. Index ulcer must be a DFU with a Wagner Grade of 1 or 2. 10. Have an absence of infection based on the Infectious Disease Society of America criteria and as evidenced by radiographic evidence (X-ray, CT or MRI scan) performed during the 14 Screening Period (SV1-TV1). Radiological evidence must be completed, resulted and confirmed by the treating study physician prior to application of study graft to index ulcer.

11\. Have adequate circulation to the affected lower extremity confirmed during the screening period, defined as at least one of these criteria:

<!-- -->

1. TCOM ≥30 mmHg
2. ABI between 0.7 and 1.3
3. SPP \>30 mmHg
4. As an alternative, Arterial Doppler ultrasound can be performed evaluating for biphasic dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial vessels at the level of the ankle on the extremity the index ulcer is located.

12\. Have the ability to comply with protocol defined off-loading to the index ulcer and dressing change requirements 13. Patient is a non-tobacco user, including all forms of nicotine delivery (e.g., cigarettes, cigars, pipes, vaping devices, smokeless tobacco or nicotine patch) for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to the initial application of study graft. Verbal confirmation by subject is acceptable.

14\. Have the ability to understand the requirements of the study and to give informed consent 15. Have a life expectancy of greater than 6 months 16. Have failed conservative wound care treatment of the index ulcer for at least of 4 weeks 17. Patient will not require negative pressure therapy to the index ulcer, antimicrobial dressings, hyperbaric oxygen therapy to the index ulcer during the study period.

18\. Patient has not had radiation to the index ulcer site. 19. The index ulcer has a clean base, free of necrotic debris and infection at time of placement of treatment product.
