DFC 004 Biomarkers for Active Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Sponsored by University of Michigan

About this study

This study is a platform study designed to efficiently test multiple biomarkers to identify diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) with a higher potential for healing versus not healing that ultimately could be applied at the point of care to drive personalized management decisions, and to better inform clinical trials of wound healing interventions

This study is a platform study designed to efficiently test multiple biomarkers to identify diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) with a higher potential for healing versus not healing that ultimately could be applied at the point of care to drive personalized management decisions, and to better inform clinical trials of wound healing interventions The platform study is designed to be flexible so that it is suitable for a wide range of studies relevant to patients with open (active) DFUs. This platform study will enroll patients with DFUs seen in an outpatient setting in diabetic foot and wound care clinics across a range of healthcare systems, including community settings and tertiary care hospitals, participating in the DFC. The platform study will include common procedures that are applicable a…

  • ✓5. Agreement to adhere to protocol visits and provide all required biospecimens and clinical data.

Exclusion criteria

  • ✕1. Participation in an interventional clinical trial for DFU within 1 month of Visit 1.
  • ✕2. Currently receiving radiation to target area or chemotherapy.
  • ✕3. Gangrene in any portion of the foot with the index ulcer.
  • ✕4. Planned revascularization or under evaluation for revascularization of the index limb for advanced ischemia within next 4 weeks of Week 0.
  • ✕5. Severe limb ischemia (SVS WIfl Ischemia grade 3).
  • ✕6. Any concomitant medical or psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the investigator(s), would compromise the participant's ability to safely complete the study.

Only the research team can confirm whether you qualify. The intake questionnaire is the best way to find out.

Completing a questionnaire on Clinably does not enroll you in a clinical trial or confirm your eligibility. Only the research team can determine whether you qualify to participate. These results are based on the information you provide and are intended to help you start a conversation with the research team.
