Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this investigational study is to evaluate the safety and clinical performance of Tropocells Autologous Platelet-rich Fibrin (PRF) for wound care for both males and females, ages 18-80 years old, with Grade 1 and 2, mild to moderate, neuroischemic diabetic chronic foot ulcers in subjects with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer \[is/are\]: Measure 1: Wound Closure with Tropocells Autologous PRF System for DFU Measure 2: Safety of Tropocells Autologous PRF System for DFU Researchers will enroll to acquire approximately 30 evaluable subjects with no comparison group. Run-In Phase (2 weeks): participants with chronic diabetic foot wounds will undergo a 2-week run in phase presenting to the clinic for weekly visits, for standard of care. Active Treatment Phase (12 weeks): participants that do not show a reduction of at least 20% may be qualified to advance to the active treatment phase where wounds will be evaluated and treated weekly in the research clinic to receive standard of care with Tropocells Autologous PRF System. Follow-up Phase (1 month and 3 months): participants with wounds that losed during the Active Treatment Phase ( 100% wound closure with two weekly assessments demonstrating persistent closure) will be advanced to the follow-up phase to show if the wound remains closed at 1 month and 3 months.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Participation in another clinical trial involving a device or a systematically administered investigational study drug or treatment within 30 days.
  • Alcohol or substance abuse (other than tobacco) within 2 months before enrollment.
  • Participation in another clinical trial involving a device or a systematically administered investigational study drug or treatment within 30 days of initiating the trial.
  • Received electrostimulation, hyperbaric treatments, growth factors, or any cell or tissue-derived therapy for any wounds 30 days before entry into the study.
  • Systemic corticosteroids, (except for subjects receiving inhaled corticosteroid treatments for asthma or COPD) 30 days before entry into the study.
  • Received within 30 days before the study or scheduled to receive medications or treatments known to interfere with or affect the rate or quality of wound closure (e.g., systemic steroids, immunosuppressive therapy, autoimmune disease therapy within the past 12 months, dialysis, radiation therapy to the treatment area, vascular surgery, angioplasty, or thrombolysis.
  • Received radiation therapy or chemotherapy within the previous 3 months.

Other illness

  • Soft tissue infection at the designated ulcer or the same extremity within 2 weeks of the time of screening.
  • CKD Level G5: Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) sufficient to require dialysis.
  • Blood-borne or communicable diseases that would likely prevent full participation in the trial (e.g., HIV, AIDs, COVID, TB).

Lab values

  • Anemia Hgb ≤ 10 g/dL and HCT ≤ 27%.
  • History of problems with coagulation, abnormal thrombocytes (platelets), or receiving heparin intravenously; subjects taking coumadin, aspirin, clopidogrel, or other oral anti-coagulants are not excluded.

Other

  • Life expectancy is less than 12 months.
  • Ulcers of other than diabetic foot pathophysiology.
  • Documented sepsis, proven with blood cultures, within 2 weeks of the trial or during the Screening Phase.
  • Osteomyelitis at the designated wound site; using ESR ≥ and /or CRP ≥ 7.9 mg/d as a screen.
  • Religious constraints to using blood products, including autologous blood.
  • The subject has severe lymphedema (Stage 3) where the individual cannot lift the extremity on their own secondary to the amount of edema and fluid weight.
  • The subject is undergoing hemodialysis.
  • Subjects who are cognitively impaired, unable to understand the informed consent, or have a health care proxy.
  • Subjects with sickle cell anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukemia, or blood dyscrasia.
  • Anemia where weekly blood draws of 12 or 23 per week may not be tolerated.
  • Subjects with known sensitivity to blood components such as those in the PRF kit.
  • The subject has inadequate venous access for repeated blood draws required for the PRP preparation.
