Help us Advance Diabetic Foot Ulcer Treatment

This study is designed to evaluate an investigational topical spray that may support the healing of diabetic foot ulcers. If you are eligible and choose to take part, you will receive study-related care, tests, and medication at no cost. Participants may also be compensated for their time and travel.

About the Study

This study is for adults ages 18–74 who have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and a diabetic foot ulcer. If you qualify, you’ll attend regular clinic visits and follow-up appointments over the course of the study. All study-related care, procedures, tests, and study medication are provided at no cost, and participants may receive payment for their time and travel.

The investigational spray being studied may help diabetic foot ulcers heal more quickly and with less scarring by supporting the body’s natural healing signals. This treatment is currently under evaluation for FDA approval.

What is a research study or clinical trial?

A research study, also called a clinical trial, is how doctors and scientists test potential new drugs, devices, or procedures. These studies help show whether something is safe, can be tolerated, and works for the condition being studied. Clinical trials play an important role in developing new treatments and advancing medicine for future generations.

 

Who can participate in a research study?

Each study has its own set of inclusion and exclusion criteria that a participant must meet before they are allowed to participate in a study. Patients from all backgrounds and walks of life are encouraged to participate.

 

What is Informed Consent?

Every participant in every research study must go through the informed consent process. During this, the trial doctor and research team go over what will happen in the study, what treatments you might get, how long the trial is expected to last, what happens during visits, the potential risks and benefits, and many other important facts about the study. Participants may withdraw their consent and discontinue the study at any time for any reason.

 

What is a Placebo?

A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any active medicine in it. Researchers use placebos to help make sure any changes in the participants’ health are actually caused by the study treatment. You do not get to choose if you get the study treatment or the placebo, and you may not know if you get the placebo until after the study. Not all research studies use a placebo.

 

Why is Diversity Important?

If studies do not include diverse participants, we cannot know if treatments work for everyone who needs them. Studies only tell researchers how something works for the participants of that study, and they may not work the same in people of different races, ethnicities, ages, or sexes.

 

How am I Protected?

All research studies must follow federal laws and ethical guidelines, including HIPAA. Studies must also be approved by an expert group called an institutional review board (IRB) that helps make sure the trial is fair and as safe as possible, and that any risks to the participants are worth the potential benefits.
