Study Summary

A Prospective, Non-Randomized, Multi-Center Observational Study

  1. The subject is willing to accept treatment with a porcine based product 9. Thesubject is medically stable, in the opinion of the investigator

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Index Ulcer Assessment:

  2. Penetrates down to muscle, tendon, or bone

  3. Presence of another diabetic foot ulcer within 2 cm of the index ulcer

  4. Index ulcer determined to be due to Active Charcot deformity or previoussurgical correction for Charcot deformity.

  5. Wounds which occur in relation to major structural abnormalities of the foot,which would include amputations related to osteomyelitis or Charcot deformity

  6. Exhibits overt clinical signs and symptoms of infection with cellulitissurrounding the wound margin.

  7. Known or suspected local skin malignancy to the index diabetic ulcer

  8. Wound duration > one year without intermittent closure

  9. Prior therapies - Subjects receiving treatment with any of the following will not beeligible for enrollment:

  14. In the last 30 days - study ulcer treatment with any advanced therapy,including, biomedical or topical growth factors, tissue engineered materials (e.g. Apligraf or Dermagraft), sterilized placental allografts (EpiFix,NovaFix, etc.), or other scaffold materials (e.g. OASIS® Wound Matrix,MatriStem Wound Matrix )

  16. In the last 8 weeks - Amputation or revascularization (surgical or stenting) tothe affected leg

  17. Subject criteria that will make subject ineligible for enrollment:

  18. Known hypersensitivity to porcine based products

Study Description

This is a prospective, multi-center observational study . The trial will include 30 completed subjects at three (3) experienced clinical centers in the United States. The estimated enrollment period is 13 weeks. After completing a screening , the subjects will be enrolled and receive treatment followed for at least 12 weeks.

It is expected that the majority of the subjects will be recruited from patients being seen in the Investigators' practices. No minors will be included in the study and it is anticipated that there will be a roughly equal representation of male and female subjects. Further, no subjects will be excluded because of race or ethnicity and all efforts will be made to adequately represent the study population in the area in which they are chosen.

All subjects will be used for the analysis of efficacy and safety data.
