About this study

Official title: Image Features of LSCI and Thermography for Prediction of Healing Trajectory in Diabetic Foot Patients Affected by the First (or Successive) Ulcer: (MY-FOOT-B)

The objective of this observational study is to predict healing at 26 weeks after the first visit in patients affected by the first ulcer, by means of combined data monitoring of Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) and temperature measurements during patient visits in hospital.

In order to achieve this objective, study aims to produce a logistic regression model and then evaluate its prognostic ability by means of the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver-operating-characteristics (ROC) curve.

Patients with diabetes mellitus and suffering from ulcer and receiving health care will undergo regular microcirculatory measurements including LSCI scans in and around the ulcer location and thermography.

Read the detailed description

The study aims to predict healing at 26 weeks after the first visit in patients affected by the first ulcer, by means of combined data monitoring of Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) and temperature measurements during patient visits in hospital.

In order to achieve this objective, the study aims to produce a logistic regression model and then evaluate its prognostic ability by means of the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver-operating-characteristics (ROC) curve.

The variables evaluated for the model will include demographic and baseline characteristics of the patients, location and seriousness of the ulcer, alongside LSCI and temperature measurements at baseline and different timepoints. The development of the model will include a rigorous variables selection in order to produce a parsimonious model.

In the method proposed by Mennes, LSCI measurements at baseline, biological zero, post occlusion peak, and other parameters like non-invasive blood pressure measurements were individually evaluated as possible prognostic factors of healing trajectory at 26 weeks. All these parameters, when assessed at their highest possible value of sensibility and specificity, produced AUCs always inferior to 0.65. The highest value of AUC (0.625) was reached by toe pressure parameter when calculated using a threshold value of 54 mmHg.

From diagnostic literature, an AUC of ≥ 0.8 is considered excellent result, while an AUC < 0.7 is considered less than acceptable. Since the Mennes's method showed these results, study investigators set the AUC resulting from the model under the null hypothesis (H0) to be equal to 0.65. By including all these parameters, alongside the other mentioned variables, in a single prognostic model, study investigators expect to increase this prognostic ability. Therefore, in this study, investigators would like to detect an AUC ≥ 0.8 (H1). With these hypotheses, a power of 80%, a one-sided I type error of 5% and a prevalence of 43% of healed patients at 26 weeks, a total of 82 patients should be enrolled.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Area Under ROC curve generated by the statistical model able to discriminate between healing and not healing ulcers (time frame: at 26 weeks after the first visit in patients affected by the first ulcer). 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 15 Mar 2024.
