About this study

Official title: Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Fespixon Cream for the Treatment of Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcers (TEXAS 1A, 2A) in Dialysis Patients

Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Fespixon Cream for the Treatment of Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcers (TEXAS 1A, 2A) in dialysis patients This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a topical cream containing Plectranthus amboinicus and Centella Asiatica when applied topically to diabetic foot ulcers in uremia patients with PAOD.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed as a single-arm, open-label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fespixon Cream for the treatment of chronic diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) in dialysis.

Twelve(12) eligible subjects with DFUs and undergoing dialysis will be enrolled and assigned to receive Fespixon treatment for 20 weeks.

During the treatment phase, the Fespixon cream will be applied to the target ulcer twice a day for a maximum period of 20 weeks, until the ulcer closure (ulcer size of 0) for two consecutive visits at least 2 weeks apart, or until the subject exited the study as treatment failure. After that, all subjects regardless of wound healing at the end of the treatment phase will be followed for 2 weeks.

Identical standard of care (SoC) procedure will be performed throughout the study period, which including ulcer cleansing and debridement (if necessary) until complete ulcer closure.

At each visit, the size and changes of the target ulcer are recorded by photographing, and calculated using Image® software.

The study consists of three periods, a 2-week Screening/Run-in period, an up-to-20-week Treatment period, and a 2-week Follow-up period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of treatment-related Adverse Events associated with Fespixon cream

    Assessment of Safety: Safety will be assessed based on the incidence of adverse events, including overall AEs, Fespixon-related AEs, target ulcer-related AEs, and SAEs.

    During the trial, in addition to self-reported AEs, physicians will check physical examination, vital signs, and laboratory reports to determine the presence of AEs

    Measured: Time Frame: 20 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Incidence of complete healing of the target ulcer

    Incidence of complete healing of the target ulcer : measured by the photo to ensure the target ulcer area, such as length, width,and depth changed.

    Measured: Time Frame: 20 weeks

  2. Time to complete ulcer healing

    Time to complete ulcer healing : measured by the photo to ensure the target ulcer area, such as length, width,and depth changed.

    Measured: Time Frame: 20 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Fespixon Cream in people with Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcer, run by Cathay General Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 15 inclusion and 48 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 3 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 1 site in Taiwan. 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?

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?

Incidence of treatment-related Adverse Events associated with Fespixon cream (time frame: Time Frame: 20 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 3 Apr 2024.
