May 24, 2017 updated by: Luis Quiñones Sepulveda, University of Chile

Clinical Trial Phase I-II of Efficacy and Safety of Snail Slime and Natural Extracts for Healing in Diabetic Foot Ulcers

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the use of a formulation of snail slime and natural extracts, for the curative treatment of ulcer wonds in diabetic foot.

The secondary objetives:

  1. To evaluate the efficacy of the use of a formulation of snail slime Helix aspersa Müller and natural extracts (MU001) for the curative treatment of ulcer wonds in diabetic foot with respect to the standard of care, by means the application of patchs that containing the formulation in a treatment period of until 60 days.
  2. To determine the safety of the use of a formulation of snail slime Helix aspersa Müller and natural extracts (MU001) in diabetic individuals in a treatment period of until 60 days.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Clinical Study of phase I-II, controlled, simple blind (in relation with biostatistical analysis), randomized, of formulation that containing snail slime Helix aspersa Müller (Cryptophalus aspersus), natural calendula extract, propolis and excipients (MU001).

The formulation in study MU001 wil be added to the standard of care for healing in diabetic foot indicated. The period of recruitment estimated will be 4 month and the follow-up of the patients will be of until 60 days.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence rate of healing until 60 days or less
Time Frame: 60 days
Incidence of healing measured with Wagner ulcer classification

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time to healing until 60 days or less
