Brief Summary:
This is a multicenter study of patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) to develop and validate potential tissue-based biomarkers that predict DFU wound recurrence. Trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) will be measured on the closed wound site and a location similar to the wound site (reference site). Participants will be enrolled within two weeks after closure of their DFU. Complete wound healing will be verified at a second visit two weeks later and this visit will start the 16 week timeline where participants will be followed weekly by phone until the earliest of DFU wound recurrence or 16 weeks. Participants who experience a DFU wound recurrence and a subset of participants who do not experience a DFU wound recurrence by week 16 will be asked to attend one final visit.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of participants who have DFU wound recurrence by 16 weeks after complete wound healing [ Time Frame: 1 up to 16 weeks after wound closure ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Time to DFU wound recurrence after complete wound healing [ Time Frame: Up to 16 weeks after wound closure ]
  2. Participant self-report of DFU wound recurrence [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ]
  3. Clinician assessment of DFU wound recurrence [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ]
    Concordance between participant self-report and clinician assessment of DFU wound recurrence is important to provide confidence in the use of patient-reports for the primary endpoint.
