Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study is to evaluate the efficacy of Omeza® Lidocaine Lavage, Omeza® Collagen Matrix and Omeza® Skin Protectant used in combination with off-loading devices for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Diabetic Foot Ulcer	Combination Product: Omeza collagen matrix, Omeza lidocaine lavage, Omeza skin protectant	N/A

Detailed Description

The study will have three phases: screening, treatment and healing confirmation. The screening phase is to determine eligibility of subjects and chronicity of the diabetic foot ulcer and will include off-loading. The treatment phase begins with assessment to confirm continued eligibility and if met, subjects will be treated weekly with the Omeza combination therapy and standard of care to continue offloading. At the conclusion of the 4 weekly treatments, healing will be assessed and continued therapy will be at the PI's discretion.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Omeza combination therapy and SOC with total contact cast Omeza's products were developed to utilize the benefits of essential omega fatty acids to reduce chronic inflammation and disrupt biofilm colonization commonly found in chronic wounds. The Omeza combination treatment under investigation in this study includes two over the counter (OTC) drugs, Omeza® Lidocaine Lavage and Omeza® Skin Protectant, and a 510(K) medical device, Omeza® Collagen Matrix. In combination with standard of care and total contact cast, the products will be applied on a weekly basis. There will be a 14-day screening period to assess chronicity from standard of care alone. At that time treatment will be applied weekly for 4 weeks. Further treatment will be at the discretion of the PI to continue for 8 more weeks or until wound closure.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Percent area change after 4 weeks of treatment compared to baseline [6 weeks]
After a 2 week screening phase with standard of care and total contact casting, the wound will be measured and assessed by Tissue Analytics platform. At each treatment visit the change in the wound size and healing status will be assessed. After 4 weeks of treatment the change in wound size will be compared to baseline measurement from treatment visit 1 and the percent area reduction (PAR) recorded.
Incidence in wound closure by week 12 of treatment [14 weeks]
Treatment will continue and measurements recorded by Tissue Analytics platform until wound closure or up to 12 weeks of treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Incidence of adverse events [14 weeks]
Safety of the products used in combination will be assessed by the PI and assesses throughout treatment for adverse events or reactions to the products.
Change in subject's perception of pain at baseline and weekly throughout treatment [14 weeks]
Subjects will be required to assess ulcer pain at baseline and at each treatment visit by a questionnaire assessing pain on a numerical scale
Increase in physical function and ambulation [14 weeks]
Subjects will be asked to complete a questionnaire to assess physical function and ambulation status at baseline and at each treatment visit.

Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:

18 Years and Older

Sexes Eligible for Study:

All

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:

Yes

Inclusion Criteria:

Subject is at least 18 years old and female subjects are not pregnant

Presence of a DFU, Wagner 1 or 2, extending at least through the dermis, provided it is below the level of the medial or lateral malleolus
Target wound will be located on the foot or ankle and will be the largest ulcer if two or more DFUs are present with the same Wagner grade and will be the only one evaluated in the study. If other ulcerations are present on the same foot, they must be more than 2cm distant from the target wound.
Study ulcer has been present for at least 1 month and less than or equal to 12 months as of the date the subject signs consent for study
Study ulcer size is a minimum of 1.0 cm2 and a maximum of 100.0 cm2
Study ulcer may have characteristics that include yellow/white slough with or without fibrous/scar tissue and/or non-viable tissue, but not mandatory
