About this study

Official title: Novel Regulators of Wound Angiogenesis and Inflammation

This study aims to determine if elevated wound-edge endothelial miR-200b is a barrier to wound healing in diabetic patients and also to determine if ex vivo supplementation of miR-21 mimic and recombinant MFG-E8 resolve inflammation in wound macrophages isolated from NPWT sponges from diabetic wounds. This study will enroll 124 (60 in the miR-200b arm and 64 in the miR21 arm) Diabetic Wound patients who have wound tissue oxygenation adequate to support wound healing and will be in the study for 14 weeks that includes 4 study visits.

Read the detailed description

The study is designed as a 14 week prospective observational study where patients with diabetic wounds visiting the Indiana University Health Comprehensive Wound Center (CWC) will be enrolled. Patients enrolled will be followed for 14 weeks including 4 study visits, initial visit (week 0), study visit 2 (week 2), study visit 3 (week 4), and will return for a final follow-up study visit 4 (week 14; miR-200b arm only). Standardized Care Outline will be per physician discretion.

The initial visit will take place during the patients regularly scheduled CWC visit and the following will take place: informed consent will be obtained, baseline demographics and medical history with be collected, current labs and medications will be recorded, wound data will be obtained, an ankle brachial index will be completed for patients with leg wounds below the knee, if not already completed per Standard of Care (SoC) since onset of the wound, and wound photographs for digital planimetry to measure wound area. Wound fluid will be collected using a filter paper method, aspiration method, or via the NPWT (Negative Pressure Wound Therapy, also known as Wound Vac) sponge prior to debridement. Additionally, two 3 mm punch tissue biopsies will be obtained from the patient's physician; however, this is optional. If the wound shows signs of healing and does not show signs of infection (i.e. the wound has not stalled in healing for 2 or more weeks or become larger in size) or the wound has been declared healed by their physician, the biopsies will not be obtained. The study visits 2-4 will include the following: a medication and adverse event review, wound data will be recorded, wound photographs, wound fluid, and two 3 mm punch tissue biopsies will be obtained from the patient's physician.

Potential Risks:

The risks associated with this research study are low. There are no therapeutic interventions or medications as part of this study to be administered depending on the amount of sensation the subject has at the site of the wound.

If the subject is receiving a biopsy, the wound site will be numbed by applying local anesthesia as appropriate to the area being biopsied. There may be some discomfort with the tissue biopsy procedure, but all reasonable efforts will be made to minimize pain. The biopsy procedure is done within the boundaries of the existing wound to avoid giving the patient a separate new wound. Bleeding is a possible complication, but the risk is low for the small biopsies and is reduced by using local anesthetics with epinephrine, and silver nitrate sticks are available in each room to cauterize biopsy sites as needed. Infection is also a potential risk; however, wound tissue biopsies are routinely performed as the standard of care in the CWC to diagnose wound infection. The biopsy site will be appropriately monitored for infection by the physician managing the wound during routine wound clinic visits.

The ABI test may result in temporary discomfort around the ankle or foot when the cuff is inflated, but does not present any further physical or medical risks. The wound fluid collection is non-invasive and does not present any risk. Study participants will not benefit directly from participation in this study. This research information has the potential of providing considerable benefits to wound care by identifying a key player that influences the closure of chronic diabetic wounds. Such knowledge should help develop novel biomarker and or miR-directed therapeutic strategies.

What is being measured

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

  1. Wound-edge endothelial miR-200b

    This study aims to determine if elevated wound-edge endothelial miR-200b and attenuated wound macrophage miR-21 levels are barriers to wound healing (closure) in diabetic wounds.

    Measured: 14 weeks

  2. Wound macrophage isolation to determine miR-21

    To determine if ex vivo supplementation of miR-21 mimic and recombinant MFG-E8 resolve inflammation in wound macrophages isolated from Negative Pressure Wound Therapy sponges from diabetic wounds.

    Measured: 14 weeks

The record lists 4 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 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?

Wound-edge endothelial miR-200b (time frame: 14 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02581098, which also lists 14 linked publications.

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.
