Detailed Description
DermGEN™ is a human dermal allograft that has been minimally processed from human skin to remove epidermal and dermal cells while preserving the structure and intrinsic properties of the natural extracellular matrix of the dermis. The resulting sterile decellularized scaffold provides a support for cellular repopulation and vascularization at the surgical site to facilitate integumental wound healing. Unlike other tissue-derived ECM-based products, such as acellular and decellularized matrices where treatments require anywhere from 6 to 10 reapplications of the product to achieve wound-closure rates of only 35% to 55% (16) DermGEN™ only requires one. A feasibility study has shown that 82% of participants (9 of 11 subjects) who had their DFU (1 ulcer/participant) treated with a single application of DDM (DermGEN) achieved complete wound closure between 2 and 8 weeks, with a mean 3.3 weeks and median of 2.3 weeks (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcjd.2022.03.010). The investigators have used this technology on a number of cases with good success. The investigators wish to gather further data with this study.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to perform a pilot study to determine the efficacy of DermGEN in the treatment in acute and non-healing diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). This will be a one-arm prospective study. It is hypothesized that DermGEN treatment will result in positive healing outcomes with no significant adverse effects. We anticipate to enroll 30 patients.
After enrolment and an initial assessment (time 0 data), participants will be treated with a single application of the DDM following standard-of-care procedures that include debridement of the DFU to provide healthy bleeding tissue margins. Then, it is applied with the dermal side in contact with the ulcer bed and covered by a bolster dressing. The bolster dressing is changed weekly during the follow-up. Follow-up assessments are conducted at 1, 2, 3, 4, 12 and 20 weeks. Digital photography is used to capture the appearance and size of the ulcer at each visit.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
A subject will be considered eligible to participate in this study if each of the following inclusion criteria is satisfied:

- Study ulcer has healed <30% in size during the 2 weeks prior to Day 0.
- Ulcer area is ≥1 cm2 prior to debridement at Day 0 of study.
- Ulcer extends through dermis and into subcutaneous tissue but without exposure of muscle, tendon, bone or joint capsule.
- Ulcer is free of necrotic debris and clinical infection, and is comprised of healthy vascular tissue suitable for skin grafting on Day 0.
- Patient has adequate circulation to the foot as evidenced by toe pressure measurement.
- Female patients are not pregnant at time of, or during study.
- Patient and caregiver ready and willing to participate and comply with follow-up regime.
- Patient or legal representative has read and signed the Institutional Ethics Review Board approved informed consent form.
Exclusion Criteria:
A subject will not be considered eligible to participate in this study if any one of the following exclusion criteria is satisfied:
- Evidence of gangrene on affected foot.
- Ulcer is over Charcot deformity (fractures or dislocation).
- Ulcer is non-diabetic in etiology.
- Patient receiving oral or parenteral corticosteroids, immunosuppression or cytotoxic agents, or is anticipated to require such agents during study.
