3C Patch® Medicare Claims Study

February 21, 2022 updated by: Reapplix

Reapplix 3C Patch® System for the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Medicare Claims Study

This prospective study will compare incidence rates of complete hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcer healing in Medicare beneficiaries following application of the 3C Patch® plus usual care, tested against a historical control group of similar patients that received usual care during a randomized controlled trial.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

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

This is a prospective, observational, longitudinal, claims-based study with a historical control group. Data will be collected via claim forms and will be extracted directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare Research Identifiable Files (RIFs), which contain all medical claims for 100% of Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in the Medicare fee-for-service program. The study will be conducted in accordance with relevant guidelines of a central institutional review board (IRB), relevant informed consent regulations, and all other applicable regulatory requirements.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Medicare beneficiaries diagnosed with diabetic foot ulcer

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Medicare beneficiaries diagnosed with diabetic foot ulcer and receiving at least one treatment with the 3C Patch® System.
  • Eligible ulcers will be hard-to-heal, meaning that the cross-sectional area will decrease by less than 50% during a four week period prior to the first application of the 3C Patch® (percentage change in cross-sectional area determined clinically by the treating physician by estimation at examination).
  • Eligible ulcer's cross-sectional area will increase by less than 25% during a 4-week period prior to the first application of the 3C Patch® (percentage change determined clinically by treating physician by estimation at examination)
  • The cross-sectional area of the index ulcer will be ≥50 and ≤1000 mm2 at the end of the 4 week period prior to the first application of the 3C Patch® (size determined clinically by the treating physician by estimation at examination).
  • Participants will have the capacity to understand study procedures, and will be able to provide written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Presence of sickle-cell anemia, hemophilia, thrombocytopenia (<100x109/L) or other clinically significant blood dyscrasia
  • Known potential infectivity of blood products, including known HIV and hepatitis
  • Patient in dialysis
  • Clinical signs of infection of the index ulcer or reason to suspect that infection is present
  • Revascularization procedure in the affected limb planned, or undertaken within the 4 weeks prior to the first application of the 3C Patch®
  • Current treatment with cytotoxic drugs or with systemically administered glucocorticoids or other immunosuppressants
  • Treatment of foot ulcers with growth factors, stem cells or equivalent preparation within the 8 weeks prior to the first application of the 3C Patch®
  • The need for continued use of negative pressure wound therapy
  • Likely inability to comply with the need for follow up visits because of planned activity
  • Participation in another interventional clinical foot ulcer-healing trial within the 4 weeks prior to the first application of the 3C Patch®
  • Prior enrollment in this study
  • Judgement by the investigator that the patient does not have the capacity to understand the study procedures or provide written informed consent

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
3C Patch treatment
Medicare beneficiaries with diabetes and hard-to-heal non-healing ulcers of the foot will receive usual care (i.e., care consistent with the IWGDF guidance on use of interventions to enhance the healing of chronic ulcers of the foot in diabetes) supplemented by the application of the 3C Patch (A platelet-rich plasma gel patch comprised of distinct fibrin, platelet, and leukocyte substantially parallel layers, prepared without the use of any added reagents through a two-step centrifugation process)
Device: 3C Patch

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
Complete healing
Time Frame: within 20 weeks of the first application of the 3C Patch.
Rate (%) of complete healing of hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers in Medicare beneficiaries following application of the 3C Patch®.
within 20 weeks of the first application of the 3C Patch.

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
