About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Micro Water Jet Technology and the Progression of Wound Healing: A Prospective Cohort Evaluating the Efficacy of Micro Water Jet Technology in the Debridement and Healing of Chronic Lower Extremity Ulcers

This study will investigate the clinical efficacy of micro water jet technology in the debridement and healing of chronic lower extremity ulcers.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective cohort, single-center, open-label study in subjects with chronic lower extremity wounds. The study will enroll up to 20 subjects. Subjects will undergo screening evaluations to determine eligibility to enroll in the study. All study subjects will receive micro water jet technology debridement as opposed to other debridement methods as part of their wound care treatment. The other aspects of subjects wound care protocol will remain unchanged. In the case of bilateral limb ulcers, or multiple ulcers, subjects will have the option to receive micro water jet debridement on one or all of the ulcers.

Being tested
Debritom
Medical subject headings
Diabetic Foot, Varicose Ulcer

What participants receive

What is being measured

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

  1. Size of Ulcers

    The extent and size of ulcers (summation of the products of the long x short axis for all ulcers measured in centimeters squared, plus ulcer depth) will be evaluated and photographs of ulcers taken during screening and on all clinic visits up to 20 weeks or when the ulcer is healed, whichever is sooner.

    Measured: Up to 20 weeks or when the ulcer is healed, whichever is sooner.

  2. Leg Rest Pain Score

    Leg rest pain score - visual analogue scale (VAS) graded from 0 (pain free) to Grade 10 (maximum pain) during screening and on all clinic visits up to 20 weeks, or when the ulcer is healed, whichever is sooner.

    Measured: up to 20 weeks, or when the ulcer is healed, whichever is sooner

  3. Pain During Debridement Score

    Pain during Debridement score - VAS graded from 0 (pain free) to Grade 10 (maximum pain) during on all clinical visits when debridement is performed for up to 20 weeks, sooner pending wound healing.

    Measured: up to 20 weeks, sooner pending wound healing.

  4. Subjects Feedback

    Subjects feedback regarding their debridement experience with micro water jet technology will be collected on all clinical visits when debridement is performed.

    Measured: At end of their study participation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Debritom in people with Diabetic Foot Ulcer and Non-healing Wound, run by Stephanie Wu 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 8 inclusion and 5 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 27 Mar 2023. 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Mar 2023). 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?

Size of Ulcers (time frame: Up to 20 weeks or when the ulcer is healed, whichever is sooner.). The study lists 4 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 27 Mar 2023.
