Clinical Outcomes for Diabetic Foot Ulcers Treated With Clostridial Collagenase (SANTYL®) Ointment or With a Comparator Product Containing Silver (investigator choice of silver) Running until January 2017 (last updated November 2016) Randomly assigned to apply SANTYL or a topical treatment containing silver to their to foot ulcer. 1°: mean change in ulcer area at end of treatment; 2°: target ulcer infection rate ClinicalTrials.gov; NCT02581488 No results (102) Jaime E Dickerson, PhD (Smith & Nephew) (Smith & Nephew)
Information from the sponsor received end of December 2016 stated that the trial is not yet complete but last participant out will be achieved in the next week. The trial enrolled its target number of participants, with the last participant completed December 2016. The evaluability will be carried out prior to the scheduled database lock in January 2017. As intention‐to‐treat is the analysis set for primary inference, it is anticipated that all participants will be included. Final study report is timed for April 2017 (15 December 2016).
