Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18 years) with diabetes and a UT Grade 1A–1D ulcer at or below the ankle, neuropathic or neuroischemic etiology, ulcer area 1–25 cm², and either non-infected or mildly infected (PEDIS 2) ulcers.

Probably not a fit

Patients with ulcers outside the specified size, non-diabetic etiologies, or more severe infection may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This observational study collects real-world data on the use of a nitric oxide–generating dressing (ConvaNiox) for diabetic foot ulcers. Eligible adults with diabetes and ulcers meeting specific size and type criteria are followed through procedures and follow-up evaluations to observe wound response and safety. The study uses site-based data from a single NHS trust in England to assess outcomes in routine care settings. No randomization or control group is described, and results will reflect everyday clinical practice. The investigation focuses on wound healing progress, infection status, and any dressing-related adverse events.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience improved wound healing and safer, more effective management of diabetic foot ulcers.

How similar studies have gone: Other real-world experiences with nitric oxide–generating dressings have shown potential for improved wound outcomes, but this approach remains observational and requires further evidence.

Inclusion Criteria:

IC-1 - Subjects at least 18 years old and willing to participate in all procedures and follow-up evaluations necessary to complete the study

IC-2 - The subject must have either type 1 or type 2 diabetes and a diabetes-related ulcer meeting all the following characteristics:

IC-2a Classified as University of Texas (UT) Classification Grade 1 stages A-D IC-2b At or below the level of malleolus IC-2c Neuropathic or neuroischemic etiology confirmed through Electronic Medical Records (EMR) IC-2d Ulcer surface area between ≥1 and ≤25 cm² IC-2e For subjects who have more than one ulcer, the largest ulcer will be the study ulcer

IC-3 Non-infected and infected ulcers are eligible for inclusion, with infection being classified using the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) Infection guidelines.

Only PEDIS 2 infections are permitted. Mild superficial skin and soft tissue infections with no systemic manifestations, characterized by erythema \>0.5 but \<2 cm from the wound margin and/or other local signs of infection (swelling, induration, tenderness, increased warmth, or purulent discharge), without involvement of deeper tissues (e.g., tendon, muscle, joint, or bone).

IC-4 Adequate arterial supply in the lower extremity as defined by Wound, Ischemia, foot Infection (WIfI) Ischemia grade 0-1;

1. Palpable foot pulse with biphasic or triphasic pedal Doppler waveforms, AND
2. Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) \>0.6 OR Toe Brachial Index (TBI) \>0.5, OR
3. Toe pressure \>40mmHg

Exclusion Criteria:

EC-1 Ulcers that are tunnelling or have cavities (\>10mm in depth)

EC-2 An ulcer that is actively bleeding. Subjects may be re-screened once active bleeding has stopped

EC-3 Subjects taking any medication known to inhibit wound closure including chemotherapy and immunomodulatory biological agents. The use of systemic corticosteroids \<10mg/day is permitted
