About this study

Official title: Tissue Oxygenation and miR-210 Role In Wound Healing

Hypothesis: Elevated miR210 in the epidermis (outer layer of skin) of ischemic human wound edge tissue (tissue that has a lack of blood flow to it) is associated with poor healing outcome in a setting of standard clinical care.

Aim of the study: To determine whether elevated miR-210 in the epidermis of ischemic human wound edge tissue is associated with poor healing outcome in a setting of standard clinical care.

This study will last 14 weeks. Adult patients, who are non-diabetic or tightly controlled diabetic, and, who have chronic venous leg ulcers that have been open/not healed for at least 12 weeks, will be enrolled in this study. Patients will be recruited from the Indiana University Health Comprehensive Wound Center (CWC). On days 0, 14 and 28, patients will have the following performed: measurements and photographs taken of their wound; TCOM (transcutaneous oxygen measurement) or ABI to measure the amount of oxygen in the wound tissue, if receiving a tissue biopsy; and two 3-mm punch biopsies from the same wound/ulcer. Biopsies will not be taken if the wound has closed by day 14 or day 28. Additionally, patients' medical records will be reviewed throughout the study for 98 days (14 weeks) after enrollment to determine the final status of the wound as healed or not-healed. ABI will be completed per study personnel at initial visit for all consented subjects to ensure subject eligibility (as listed TCOM<30 mmHg in exclusion criteria). If ABI's are unable to be obtained, TCOM will be performed.

There will be a total of 5 visits for this study (6 total visits for patients with open wounds on day 28 of the study). Visits will occur on days 0, 7, 14, 21,28.

Read the detailed description

The study is designed as 28-day prospective longitudinal observational study including a 98 day (14 week) follow-up photography of the wound to test whether wounds open on day 28 have closed on week 14, or if they have remained chronically open.

On days 0, 14 and 28 after enrollment, wound images will be obtained. Wound photographs are a part of standard care when patients come to the Comprehensive Wound Center (CWC). Images do not include the part of body that could lead to identification of the participants. In addition, following standard of care, two biopsies will be taken - one biopsy will be used for laser capture microdissection (LCM) and immunohistochemistry studies, while the other will be used for determination of infection status using quantitative bacterial cultures and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) imaging for biofilm phenotyping.

The following will be completed on days 0, 14 and 28:

  1. Wound measurements - Photographs for digital planimetry to measure wound area.
  2. Two Wound-edge biopsies (3mm) - following wound bed preparation with 1% lidocaine local anesthetic, as required, two punch biopsies (3 mm each) will be obtained from the wound-edge (the leading 3mm edge of the skin at the perimeter) of the same wound/ulcer.
  3. Data Collection - the following information will be collected during the enrollment visit and updated at each visit (weekly - on days 0, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 98 (week 14) ), as necessary, and entered onto the data collection form: Age; Sex; Race/Ethnicity; Current medications; Transcutaneous oxygen measurement(TCOM) <30 mmHg or ABI < 0.8; Wound location \& Etiology; Other associated illnesses; Wound care modality/treatment; and Nutritional status will be recorded as documented by albumin levels and chart records.

Healing outcome: Wound photography will be performed every 7 days (every week) as a part of the current standard of care. Based on wound measurements from days 0 and 28 , patients will be classified as either healing or non-healing, per criteria described in the study proposal/protocol.

There will be a total of 5 visits for this study (6 total visits for patients with open wounds on day 28 of the study). Visits will occur on days 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Venous leg ulcersPatients visiting the Indiana University Health Comprehensive Wound Center, with a chronic venous leg ulcer(s), who qualify based on the study inclusion and exclusion criteria, will be involved in a 14-week (98 days) longitudinal observational study. All subjects in this arm will have wound measurements, photographs for digital planimetry to measure wound area, and two 3 mm punch tissue biopsies of the same wound/ulcer (for OCT \& infection) on days day 0, 14, and 28. Biopsies will not be taken if the wound has closed by day 14 or 28. Patient charts will be reviewed 98 days (14 weeks) after enrollment to determine the final status of the wound as healed or not-healed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Change of miR210 Expression Across Healing Status (Healing vs. Non-Healing)

    The primary analysis will compare mean change cycle times (Delta Ct) of the baseline (d1) miR-210 expression across wound healing status (i.e., healing vs non-healing based on d28/d0 wound size (%) using either the two-sample t-test or the non-parametric Wilcoxon rank-sum test depending on the distribution of miR-210 and the homogeneity of the variance across groups.

    Measured: 28 Days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-Diabetic Patients and Wound Leg, run by Chandan Sen at 3 sites 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 3 inclusion and 8 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 25 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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. 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: No funding available to continue). 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?

Mean Change of miR210 Expression Across Healing Status (Healing vs. Non-Healing) (time frame: 28 Days). 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 25 Apr 2024.
