Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Ulcer healing per the University of Texas (UT) Staging System for Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Time Frame: Week 12
|
The Investigator will assess the ulcer for healing using the UT Staging System for Diabetic Foot Ulcers which grades DFUs by grade (0, I, II, III) and stage (A, B, C, D), depending on the presence or absence of infection and ischemia.
The grades are referred to as follows: grade 0 (pre-or post-ulcerative site that has healed), grade 1 (superficial ulcer not involving tendon, capsule, or bone), and grade 2 (ulcer penetrating to tendon or capsule), and grade 3 (ulcer penetrating bone or joint).
The patient will be scored based on Grade score and stage score together.
Grade 0, stage A considered being low severity, and Grade 3, stage D considered to be more severe.

Week 52
|
Relative change from baseline in Cardiff Wound Impact Schedule (CWIS) quality of life assessment
Time Frame: Week 24
|
The CWIS is designed and validated to specifically assess the quality of life (QoL) of subjects with chronic wounds (leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers (DFU)).
This questionnaire contains 47 items divided into four scales: demographic and clinical characteristics (3 items), global health-related quality of life (HRQoL) (1 item), satisfaction with HRQoL (1 item) and impact of the wound on lifestyle.
This last scale includes 3 domains: social life (14 items in total, 7 related to stress and 7 to experience), wellbeing (7 items), and physical symptoms and everyday living (24 items in total, 12 related to stress and 12 to experience).
All three domains are scored on a 5-point scale, from "not at all" to "always".
Thus, the total score includes the patient's perception of the experience and the associated stress.
The final score ranges from 0 (poorer QoL) to 100 points (higher QoL) where a high score indicates a positive rating

|
Week 52
|
Number of participants undergoing amputation at the index site
Time Frame: Week 52
