INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This study will evaluate Matrion™ (LifeNet Health, Inc., Virginia Beach, VA), a placental membrane product, as a treatment for diabetic foot ulcers compared to conventional wound care. Matrion is derived from donated human birth tissue and includes both the amniotic and chorionic layers, along with the trophoblast layer. It is minimally processed using a proprietary decellularization method and terminally sterilized to ensure the membrane is acellular and sterile, making it suitable for surgical applications.

- Have provided written authorization for use and disclosure of protected health information
- Have a life expectancy of greater than 6 months
Exclusion Criteria20
- Be pregnant or lactating
- Subjects with a target wound \<30 days old at Screening whose wound area has decreased in size ≥50% between the Screening and Baseline Visits (assessed at Baseline/Visit 2)
- Have a circulating hemoglobin A1c exceeding 12% within 90 days of the Screening Visit (assessed at Screening/Visit 1 for subjects with labs collected \<30 days of screening; assessed at Baseline/Visit 2 for subjects with labs collected at screening)
- Have a serum creatinine concentration of 3.0 mg/dL or greater within 30 days prior to screening (assessed at Screening/Visit 1 for subjects with labs collected \<30 days of screening; assessed at Baseline/Visit 2 for subjects with labs collected at screening)
- Have a sensitivity to either of the following antibiotics: lincomycin, gentamicin, polymyxin B, or vancomycin
- Have a sensitivity to polysorbate 20, N-lauroyl sarcosinate, benzonase or glycerol
- Have the wound treated with biomedical or topical growth factors within the previous 30 days before the Screening Visit
- Need for any additional concomitant dressing material other than the ones approved for this study
- Have clinical signs of an infection at the study ulcer site (assessed at BOTH Screening/Visit 1 and Baseline/Visit 2)
- Have the inability to tolerate an off-loading boot
- Have a known or suspected disease of the immune system
- Have an active or untreated malignancy or active, uncontrolled connective tissue disease
- Had a treatment with immunosuppressive or chemotherapeutic agents, radiotherapy or systemic corticosteroids less than 30 days before the Baseline Visit
- Have presence of necrosis, purulence, or sinus tracts that cannot be removed by debridement (assessed at Baseline/Visit 2)
- Has undergone a revascularization procedure aimed at increasing blood flow in the treatment target limb less than 4 weeks before the Baseline Visit
- Have serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, or alkaline phosphatase levels greater than three times the normal upper limit within 30 days prior to screening (assessed at Screening/Visit 1 if subject had labs collected \<30 days of screening; assessed at Baseline/Visit 2 if subject had labs collected at screening)
- Have active Charcot disease
- Have undergone treatment with a living skin equivalent within the last 4 weeks before screening
- Have ongoing evidence of peripheral vascular disease, including greater than one nonpalpable pulse on either foot
- Have the presence of any condition that in the opinion of the investigator places the subject at undue risk or potentially jeopardizes the quality of the data to be generated

Interventions
Place the graft on the debrided DFU and secure. Follow with conventional care wound management (dressings and off-loading). Product may be applied weekly.
The wound will be debrided and undergo a moist-wound therapy and will be covered with a gauze that is appropriate for the type of wound (moist or dry). Dressings will cover each wound wound for at least 5 days, but no more than 9 days, (7 days +/- 2 days) until the next study visit. Off-loading of the wound is required.
