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

  • 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.
  • Willing and able to make all required study visits.
  • Able to follow instructions and perform the dressing changes at home or have a caregiver who can perform the dressing changes according to the protocol.
  • Willing to use an appropriate off-loading device to keep weight off of foot ulcers.
  • An ulcer present on any part of the plantar surface of the neuropathic foot or hallux which is 0.5 cm2 - 10 cm2 inclusive (as measured at the Screening Visit using the ARANZ Silhouette imaging device). The target ulcer duration must be ≥ 6 weeks but not more than 52 weeks (12 months) as documented in the subject's history or by subject report of onset, and which requires debridement.
Show all 10Show fewer
  • Adequate arterial blood flow as evidenced by an ankle brachial index (ABI) of > 0.70 and ≤ 1.20. If ABI > 1.2, perfusion at or near the site of the ulcer should be confirmed; the foot is warm to the touch and has palpable pulses.
  • Separation of at least 5 cm (closest ulcer edge to other closest ulcer edge) if ≥ 2 ulcers are present as measured using the ARANZ Silhouette imaging device.
  • Diabetes mellitus (Type 1 or 2) requiring insulin or oral/injectable medications to control blood glucose levels.
  • Target ulcer is not infected based on clinical assessment.

Who cannot join

  • Contraindications or hypersensitivity to the use of clostridial collagenase or products containing silver.
  • Participation in another clinical trial within thirty (30) days of Visit 1, or planned participation overlapping with this study.
  • Bleeding disorder that would preclude sharp debridement during the study.
  • Active cellulitis of the target ulcer, lymphangitic streaking, deep tissue abscess, gangrene, or infection of muscle, tendon, joint or bone.
  • Infection with systemic toxicity or metabolic instability (e.g., fever, chills, tachycardia, hypotension, confusion, vomiting, leukocytosis, acidosis, severe hyperglycemia, azotemia).

Show all 31Show fewer
  • Diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease, leukocyte adhesion defects, or severe neutropenia.

  • Radiation therapy to the target lower extremity within 30 days prior to screening.
  • Medical or physical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would preclude safe subject participation in the study.

About this study

Official title: Clinical Outcomes for Diabetic Foot Ulcers Treated With Clostridial Collagenase (SANTYL®) Ointment or With a Comparator Product Containing Silver

This study is designed to test the hypothesis that daily treatment of diabetic foot ulcers with an enzymatic debriding agent, SANTYL, for up to 6 weeks will result in more rapid decrease in ulcer area than diabetic foot ulcers treated with a topical treatment containing silver. After meeting study criteria, participants will be randomly assigned to apply SANTYL or a topical treatment containing silver to their to foot ulcer for up to 6 weeks. At the end of 6 weeks, participants will be followed for an additional 4 weeks to examine the outcome of the study treatment.

Read the detailed description

The objectives of this study were to compare outcomes of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) treated with SANTYL or silver-containing products, both in combination with sharp debridement as needed. One hundred two subjects with qualifying DFUs were randomized to daily treatment with either SANTYL or a silver-containing product for 6 weeks followed by a 4 -week follow-up period. The primary outcome was the mean percent reduction in DFU area. A secondary outcome was the incidence of ulcer infections between groups.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Santyl and Product containing silver in people with Diabetic Foot and Foot Ulcer, Diabetic, run by Smith & Nephew, Inc. at 13 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 10 inclusion and 31 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 1 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Aug 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Percent Change in Ulcer Area From Baseline to the End of the Treatment. (time frame: 6 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 1 Aug 2018.
