CAMPR-II Trial: A multicenter hybrid platform trial comparing the effects of a prospective cohort treated with a saline-hydrated allogeneic dual-layer amniotic membrane product or a synthetic, resorbable polymeric wound matrix to a coarsened exact matched retrospective control cohort of patients with hard-to-heal DFUs and VLUs

CAMP RWE Trial: A Multicenter hybrid platform trial comparing the effects of a prospective cohort treated with a tri-layer amnion graft or a single layer amnion graft to a coarsened exact matched retrospective control cohort of patients with hard-to-heal DFUs and VLUs

The study will examine the effectiveness of a decellularized dermal matrix (i.e., DermGEN™) in improving wound healing, quality of life and associated costs of treatment of DFUs in First Nations people living in the Northwestern Ontario Communities. First Nations people with active diabetic foot (DFU) ulcer attending a wound care clinic located at the Rainy River district office. An interventional, two-arm, randomized, prospective study of (1) standard of care (control) vs. (2) DermGEN™ - a decellularized dermal matrix (treatment) will be used in the treatment and management of DFU. Patients will be randomized to each arm (n=60 per arm) based on power calculations using data from our Pilot study.

The goal of this clinical trial is to follow the progress of wounds in those with venous leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers while using an absorbent dressing called Mepilex Up. The main objective is to follow the progress of these wounds over time from initial visit to each follow-up visit. Participants will be asked to wear Mepilex Up dressing for up to 6 weeks of treatment or until healed, changed at every one-week interval.
