Study Summary

This is a multi-center observational cohort study of patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) to develop and validate potential tissue-based biomarkers that predict complete wound healing. Eligible and consented participants will begin standard of care treatment after collection of tissue specimens from the wound's edge. An additional tissue specimen is collected at 4 weeks if clinically indicated. Tissues will be tested for c-myc and phosphorylated glucocorticoid receptor (p-GR) levels using validated protocols at a central laboratory. Participants will be followed weekly for up to 12 weeks or until complete wound healing (whichever occurs first). One final assessment 2 weeks after complete wound healing will occur to confirm healing.

  13. Willingness to comply with standard of care which includes an initial surgicaldebridement of the wound.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

An individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:

  2. Currently receiving radiation to target area or chemotherapy

  3. Participants with Charcot's foot or other foot deformities that prevents adequatetargeted ulcer offloading

  4. Participant with active severe infection or osteomyelitis at the time of screening

  9. Plan to perform a vascular intervention, such as surgical bypass, angioplasty orstenting, or < 1 month from a prior ipsilateral vascular intervention

  10. Any history of concomitant medical condition that, in the opinion of theinvestigator(s), would compromise the participant's ability to safely complete thestudy
