NEOX® CORD 1K vs Standard of Care in Non-healing Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Patients identified for the study will have a non-healing diabetic ulcer, between 1-25cm² in
size. The patient's wound(s) will be monitored for 2 weeks to document the wound pathology.
Patients with less than 30% wound area reduction during the 2 week screening period and who
meet all of the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria, will be enrolled in the study.
All patients will be assigned to a study or control group and undergo sharp debridement.
NEOX® CORD 1K matrix will be applied to the treatment group on the day of debridement,
covered with a wound veil, and standard dressing. Both groups will be monitored weekly, and
the % decrease in wound size will be recorded at Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12.
If the wound is not progressing, additional application of NEOX® CORD 1K may be applied. The
time to complete closure will be recorded for both groups. The study duration will be 12
weeks. Subjects in the control group that continue to suffer a non-healing wound at the week
12 visit will be offered an opportunity to cross-over to NEOX treatment and followed for an
additional 12 weeks.
