Clinical Utility of an Amniotic Membrane Allograft for Diabetic Foot Ulcer Wound Management
A Prospective, Post-market Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) to Demonstrate Clinical Utility of an Amniotic Membrane Allograft in Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) Wound Management
About This Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if use of Orion™, a dual-layer amniotic membrane allograft, in addition to standard wound care treatment can improve patient outcomes for people over the age of 50 with diabetic foot ulcers. The study aims to determine the incidence of complete wound closure at the end of 12 weeks of treatment. Researchers will compare the outcomes between a group of people treated with standard wound care and another group treated with standard wound care in addition to the amniotic membrane allograft to see if the amniotic membrane allograft improves wound healing. During the study, participants will visit their doctor weekly over a 12 week period, which is standard for diabetic foot ulcer treatment procedures, and fill out a questionnaire measuring quality of life.

Treatments Being Tested
Orion TM Amniotic Membrane Allograft
The intervention is a sterile allograft made from dehydrated extracellular matrix, designed to promote wound healing by providing a reliable and protective wound covering. Amniotic membranes are hypothesized to promote healing in open wounds by serving as a scaffold to support native tissue ingrowth, encouraging angiogenesis, and limiting microbial spread.
Standard of Care (SOC)
Standard wound care entails surgical debridement as needed to remove all non-viable tissue, screening for infection and probing of the wound for bone, weekly application of a collagen alginate primary dressing, and off-loading using a removable diabetic offloading cam-walker or total contact cast.
