This study aims to compare two treatment approaches for diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs): the standard of care (SOC) alone versus SOC combined with OCM. Researchers will evaluate whether adding OCM increases the likelihood of ulcers healing completely by the end of the trial period.
This research will take place across multiple medical centers, where both researchers and participants will know which treatment is being used (open label). Patients who agree to participate and meet the study requirements during screening will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: either standard of care (SOC) alone, or SOC plus OCM. The study includes a crossover component for subjects in the SOC arm. At treatment visit 13 (approximately 84 days post-randomization), SOC arm subjects not having achieved complete wound closure, and still meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria, are eligible to cross over to the IP arm (SOC plus OCM). Crossover subjects will begin IP arm treatment with weekly OCM applications for up to 12 treatment visits. The subject will continue follow-up per the original schedule. As this is a post-marketing study, it will gather information regarding the efficacy of treatment while also supporting insurance reimbursement decisions.

RECRUITINGComplete Wound Closure
The primary endpoint will be the percentage of target ulcers that achieve complete wound closure within 12 weeks.
Time frame: 1-12 weeks
Percentage Wound Area Change
The percentage change in wound area from TV-1 to TV-13 will be measured weekly using digital photographic planimetry and physical examination.
Time frame: 1-12 weeks
Pain Assessment
Change in pain associated with the target ulcer will be assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale throughout the study. The Numeric Pain Rating Scale is measured between 0-10. 0 being no pain at all and 10 being the worst pain.
Time frame: 1-12 weeks
