  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects will be considered qualified for enrollment if they meet the following criteria:
  • Provide written informed consent, which will consist of reading, signing, and dating the informed consent document after the Investigator, sub-Investigator or other designated study staff member has explained the study procedures, risks, and contact information.
  • Eighteen (18) years of age or older, of either sex, and of any race or skin type provided that their skin color, in the opinion of the Investigator, will not interfere with the study assessments.
  • Willing and able to make all required study visits.

About this study

Official title: Clinical Outcomes Associated With Enzymatic Debridement of Diabetic Foot Ulcers for Up To 12 Weeks With Clostridial Collagenase (Santyl®) Ointment

The current trial examines the potential benefits of continuous 12 week treatment with Santyl, measured in terms of wound bed appearance. The visual appearance of granulation tissue will be recorded at each visit for the purpose of examining the relationship between wound bed appearance and progress towards healing. In support of this longer treatment regimen with Santyl, a recent animal study found that application of Santyl for 12 weeks was safe and well tolerated. Therefore, the present study is designed to test the hypothesis that daily treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) with Santyl for up to 12 weeks will result in more rapid development of granulation tissue than DFU treated with supportive care.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Collagenase SANTYL® Ointment and Hydrogel (if needed) and foam dressing in people with Diabetic Foot Ulcers and Diabetic Foot Wounds, run by Healthpoint at 25 sites in 2 countries.

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 11 inclusion and 37 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 25 sites in United States, Canada. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Time to Well-established Granulation Tissue (time frame: 12 Weeks). 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 Feb 2016.
