Detailed Description
The planned study is a monocentric, randomized and controlled clinical trial. Study participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into a group with early PTA ("immediate PTA", within 48h) and a group with elective PTA (standard of care). Baseline and all follow-up examinations will be performed identically in both groups except for PTA. The study is unblinded to the patients and physicians, i. e., the investigators do not plan a control intervention for PTA. However, all subsequent laboratory tests, especially the measurement of biomarkers of inflammation, are designed to be blinded, i. e., without passing information on PTA to the laboratory. Baseline and follow-up examinations will focus on the severity and healing process of the foot ulcer. If patients in the elective arm experience a significant deterioration in wound healing, they are crossed to the "immediate" arm. Thus, for each of our patients, the treatment of pAVD follows the guidelines, which are controlled and documented by specialists in the clinical progress controls and visits during the study. During the visits, the investigators do not only pay attention to the diabetic foot ulcers but see each patient as a critically ill patient in the overall picture. Thus, the investigator first tried to improve renal retention parameters by sufficient hydration, considering cardiac function. In severe renal insufficiency, guideline-based selective angiography on PTA standby using CO2 angiography is possible, which does not affect the kidney.
Baseline characterization The patient's complete medical history and current and previous medications are obtained during the initial clinical evaluation. In addition to the medical record, lifestyle questions (smoking, alcohol) and social status are elicited (marital status, educational attainment/social status).
A physical examination is performed, which includes determining whether venous or neuropathic triggers should be considered in addition to the ischemic etiology of the ulcers. For evidence of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), the investigators will perform duplex sonography of the peripheral leg veins. If there is evidence of chronic venous insufficiency, the severity will be evaluated using the Clinical (C), Etiological (E), Anatomical (A), and Pathophysiological (P) (CEAP) classification. Routine laboratory chemistry testing will also be performed using blood samples. In addition, the diabetes mellitus duration will be recorded.
Wound documentation Wound documentation is performed to document existing ulcerations. The affected areas, their depth, and volume will be recorded. This photo documentation should always be carried out at the same angle, in the same position and distance, and under the same lighting conditions as far as possible. The wound is assessed according to the WIfI and Wagner (Armstrong) classification criteria recommended by current interdisciplinary guidelines.
Perfusion measurement
The following examinations are performed:
- Duplex/Doppler ultrasound of the leg arteries with Doppler frequency analysis and ankle-brachial and toe-ankle index measurement. In the subsequent duplex ultrasound, the anatomy of the peripheral arteries is defined. Later in the course, these examinations determine the patency of the revascularized vessel segment, degree of stenosis by peak flow velocity determination and intimal hyperplasia. Furthermore, flow-dependent dilatation of the femoral artery is also examined using duplex sonography.
- Oxygen saturation of the foot will be analyzed using a spectroscopic camera; its control measurement is done by measuring the hands.
- Segmental pulsoscillography
- Measurement of arterial perfusion at rest and perfusion reserve using occlusion plethysmography.
- Hemodynamics (blood pressure and heart rate)
- Pain at rest. Recording of current clinical symptoms and pain questionnaire according to McGill.
- Peripheral neuropathy will be within the scope of the study; the participating patients will also be examined for peripheral polyneuropathy, based on the National Health Care Guideline (NVL) "Neuropathy in Diabetes in Adulthood". Peripheral nerve function tests include the clinical neuropathy score survey to diagnose diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSNP). In detail, the neuropathy symptom score (NSS) and the neuropathy deficit score (NDS) are recorded.
Swab wound Specimen collection is performed according to the "Levine" method using a commercially available flocked swab (FLOQSwab®, COPAN Diagnostics Inc, Murrieta USA). A total of 3 swabs will be taken from each patient in the project at the same time to obtain material for determining the microbiome and the corresponding resistogram (specific transport media will be used depending on the downstream process). Swabs are collected after thorough wound cleansing, the first after initial wound care, the second at four weeks, the third at eight weeks, the fourth at 12 weeks, the fifth at 24 weeks, and the last at 48 weeks.
Measurements of phylogenetic composition based on the wound samples at baseline will determine the different bacterial species in the wound samples using whole genome sequencing in collaboration with the Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hospital Hygiene at Heinrich Heine University, Düsseldorf. The microbiome's composition is studied using nanopore technology, which has several advantages. Data are analyzed using custom bioinformatics scripts.
Blood collection will be performed in the morning on an empty stomach. Blood collections are performed i.d. in a clinical routine before PTA and during the follow-up visits of the DFS and do not represent a study-related collection. On this occasion, additional blood samples can be taken without additional study-related punctures. Blood will be collected in so-called stretch tubs for testing for cell-free (cf)DNA. The time points include routine follow-up examinations on the first day of examination (V0), on day 1 (V1), one month (V2), two months (V3), three months (V4), six months (V5), 12 months (V6) after PTA. Over the study's duration, less than 500 ml of blood should be drawn per patient.
Examination of cfDNA To assess the incorporation of microbial components from the revascularized tissues, the investigators would like to determine the amount of microbial cfDNA. A sufficient amount of the collected material will be assayed for a maximum period of three years.
Statistical analysis Taxonomic profiling of whole-genome sequencing data of the wound microbiome is performed using bioinformatics scripts from the Department of Algorithmic Bioinformatics at HHU, as previously described. Whole-genome sequencing data of the wound microbiome generated with the Oxford Nanopore platform will be used for taxonomic profiling with Kraken2 and a comprehensive custom database of protozoan, fungal, viral, and plant sequences. Visualizations that allow comparison of metagenomic composition at different taxonomic levels are generated using custom scripts. To evaluate the clustering of samples, the investigators performed a principal coordinate analysis based on the Bray-Curtis distance. Using the Conda version management system, the entire workflow is provided as a reproducible Snakemake workflow. Association of wound microbiome composition with metabolic phenotypes will be performed using omnibus, blockwise, and traitwise statistical models. Variables will be compared using the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test, the unpaired two-sided Student t-test, and the two-sided Mann-Whitney U-test to detect differences over time and between groups. Nominal variables are compared using the chi-square test and Fisher's exact test, as appropriate. Relationships between variables (e.g., associations between changes in microbiome composition and wound healing or complications) will be assessed using partial Pearson correlation coefficients (with and without adjustment for confounders and multiple testing using the Bonferroni method). Standardized mean difference (Cohen's d) was used for power analyses because preliminary estimates for the mean and standard error of the mean of wound microbiome change after PTA were not available in the literature. All statistical analyses are performed using SPSS for Windows 23.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). All graphs are generated using GraphPad Prism, version 7.01 (GraphPad Software, Inc., La Jolla, CA, USA).
