Phase 1 Study of VELGRAFT, a Living Cellular Construct, in the Management of Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcers Which Have Attained Granulation Tissue Phase 1 24

Not yet recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT07498218 is designed to study Treatment for Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU), Granulation of Chronic Diabetic Wounds. This Phase 1 interventional study is not yet recruiting. Enrollment is planned to begin on 2 March 2026 until the study accrues 24 participants. Led by Ayu, Inc., this study is expected to complete by 13 October 2026. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 27 March 2026.
Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of VELGRAFT in patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcers, which have attained granulation tissue. VELGRAFT will be studied in conjunction with pest practices for diabetic foot ulcers. The Primary goal is to assess the safety of VELGRAFT to treat diabetic foot ulcers as compared to standard of care therapy. Secondary goals include the assessment of ef...Show More
Detailed Description
This phase I study is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, active controlled study in up to 24 patients. The study will be conducted in 2 parts: Part A will include 12 patients in a dose escalation scheme to identify the maximum tolerated application of VELGRAFT (up to 4 cohorts, with 3 patients in each cohort), and Part B will include 12 or more patients randomized 1:1 between the VELGRAFT (with the number of ap...Show More

ExperimentalInvestigational Product
Subject receives applications of VELGRAFT
an allogenic cell-based product, containing living human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and MSCs differentiated into adipocytes on a porous chitosan-gelatin matrix
VELGRAFT is applied topically. Cells used in VELGRAFT are derived from bone marrow from an FDA-registered establishment. The MSCs in VELGRAFT have been tested for the human leukocyte antigen-2 (HLA-2) marker to minimize rejection due to an immune response by the patient and has undergone a battery of biocompatibility testing. Additionally, cells contained in VELGRAFT are cultured in xenogeneic-free medium, reducing r...Show More

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Safety of VELGRAFT to Treat DFUs
To assess the safety of VELGRAFT to treat DFUs as compared to standard of care therapy through the difference between the VELGRAFT IP and the control groups for all treated patients in the proportion of patients reporting adverse events during the active study period. The investigator will assess the relationship between study therapy and the occurence of each AE/SAE and will use clinical judgment to determine if there is a reasonable possibility that the IP was responsible for the AE/SAE being reported. Determination of relatedness to the IP will be defined according to one of the following categories: * Definite - The AE/SAE is clearly related to the IP * Probable - The AE/SAE is likely related to the IP * Possible - The AE/SAE may be related to the IP * Unlikely - The AE/SAE is doubtfully related to the IP * Unrelated - The AE/SAE is clearly NOT related to the IP AE/SAE's will be assessed by CTCAE Version 5.0 and safety data of the study will be evaluated by an independent DSMB.
From Enrollment to End of Follow-Up at 169 days
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Efficacy of VELGRAFT
To assess the efficacy of VELGRAFT for healing DFUs compared to standard of care therapy. This will be assessed by the difference between the two treatment arms in the proportion of participants with complete wound closure at week 12 and 14. Complete wound closure is defined as complete skin re-epithelialization without drainage or dressing requirements, confirmed at two consecutive study visits, Week 12 and 14. Wounds will be measured by Imito Wound Measurement Software.
From Enrollment to weeks 14
Wound Closure Rate
To Evaluate wound closure rate over the course of the trial. This will be measured by the proportion of participants with complete wound closure by 24 weeks.
From Enrollment to 24 weeks
Ulcer Recurrence Rate
To measure ulcer recurrence rate over the course of the trial
Enrollment through study completion at an average of 169 days.
Assess Re-epithelialization
to Assess Re-epithelialization over the course of the Trial
From Enrollment through study completion, an average of 169 days
Assess scar by scar scales
To Assess scar by scar scales via the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale. The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment scale is a 5-point scale. The lowest score is '1', which corresponds to the situation of normal skin (i.e. normal pigmentation, no itching). Score 5 equals the largest difference from normal skin (i.e. the worst imaginable scar or sensation).
Enrollment through study completion, an average of 169 days
Assess Quality of Life
To Assess patient reported outcomes for quality of life via patient reported outcomes. Patient reported outcomes include the Wound Pain Visual Analogue Scale and the pruritus Visual Analogue Scale which share a common unit of measurement. The Wound Pain Visual Analogue Scale is a 10-cm (100-mm) straight line, anchored by "no pain" (0) and "worst imaginable pain" (10 or 100 mm), used to objectively measure subjective pain intensity. Patients mark the line to indicate pain levels, with higher scores indicating higher severity and a need for intervention. The Pruritus Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective 10-cm (100-mm) linear tool used to measure itch intensity, ranging from "no pruritus" (0) to "worst imaginable itch" (10 cm). Patients or owners mark the line to indicate severity, which is then measured to quantify intensity, often categorized as Mild, Moderate, or Severe.
From Enrollment through study completion, an average of 169 days.
Assess Quality of Life
To Assess patient reported outcomes for quality of life via patient reported outcomes. Patient reported outcomes include the SF-36 questionnaire, a widely used, self-reported, 36-question survey that measures physical and mental health-related quality of life over the past four weeks. Covering eight health domains, it evaluates functioning, well-being, and limitations, providing scores that, when higher, indicate better health.
From screening through study completion, an average of 169 days.
