Trial summary

The purpose of this proposed DoD study is to determine if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) plus standard wound care is more effective than standard wound care alone in the rate of healing and prevention of major amputation (metatarsal and proximal) in Wagner grade 2 diabetic lower extremity ulcers.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age equal to or greater than 18.
  • Type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus.
  • Wagner Grade 2 wound for at least 4 weeks. A diagnosis of a Wagner Grade 2 wound necessitates a persistent wound of 4 weeks (5).
  • DoD Beneficiary.

Who cannot join

  • Impending/urgent amputation due to ongoing or exacerbated infection.
  • Severe depression.
  • Claustrophobia.
  • Seizure disorder.
  • Uncontrolled asthma/severe COPD with pCO2 > 45 mmHg on arterial blood gas.
  • Grade 4 congestive heart failure.
Show all 14Show fewer
  • Unstable angina.
  • Chronic/acute otitis media/sinusitis.
  • Major tympanic membrane trauma.
  • Prior chemotherapy with Bleomycin and evidence of deterioration in diffusing capacity after a single hyperbaric oxygen exposure.
  • Candidates for vascular surgery/angioplasty/stenting or patients with major large vessel disease. These patients could have peripheral vascular disease of such severity that hyperbaric treatment would not improve their condition.
  • Vascular surgery/angioplasty within the last 3 months. This exclusion controls for improvements to a patients vasculature and perfusion that occur within 1-2 months after vascular surgery/angioplasty. This will ensure that any perfusion changes to the patient's diabetic wound ulcer area recorded during the study are a result of hyperbaric therapy instead of recent vascular procedures.
  • Women who are breast feeding or of childbearing potential.
  • Dementia or mental disability rendering the potential subject incapable of following instructions or consenting to treatment.

About this study

Official title: Hyperbaric Oxygen for Wagner II Diabetic Lower Extremity Ulcers: a Double-blind, Randomized,Controlled Clinical Trial.

The purpose of this proposed DoD study is to determine if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) plus standard wound care is more effective than standard wound care alone in the rate of healing and prevention of major amputation (metatarsal and proximal) in Wagner grade 2 diabetic lower extremity ulcers.

Being tested
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, Hyperbaric room air

Study groups in NCT01954901
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Standard treatment plus Hyperbaric OxygenExperimentalThe study treatment group will be compressed on air in the hyperbaric chamber to 2.0 atmospheres absolute (ATA), then placed on 100% oxygen by a head tent for 90 minutes.
Receives: Device: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Standard treatment with Hyperbaric Room AirPlacebo comparatorThe study control group will be compressed to 2.0 ATA on air, then breath 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen through the hood for 90 minutes.
Receives: Device: Hyperbaric room air

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in wound size - wounds measured by length, width and depth

    Measured: 14 months

  2. Number of wounds healed

    Measured: 14 months

  3. Number of major and minor amputations

    Measured: Three Years after initiation of study

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Peri-wound TCOM values

    Measured: 14 months

  2. Recurrence of ulceration

    Measured: 14 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and Hyperbaric room air in people with Wagner Grade 2 Lower Extremity Ulcers, run by David Grant U.S. Air Force Medical Center at 1 site 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 4 inclusion and 14 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Failure to enroll subjects due to change in referral policy.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Changes in wound size - wounds measured by length, width and depth (time frame: 14 months). The study lists 3 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 17 Apr 2020.
