Background: Diabetes Mellitus constitutes one of the most important public health problems due to its high prevalence and enormous social and economic consequences. Diabetic foot ulcers are one of the chronic complications of diabetes mellitus and constitute the most important cause of non-traumatic amputation of inferior limbs. It is estimated that 15% of the diabetic population will develop an ulcer sometime in their lives. Although novel therapies have been proposed, there is no effective treatment for this pathology. Naturally produced nitric oxide participates in the wound healing process by stimulating the synthesis of collagen, triggering the release of chemotactic cytokines, increasing blood vessels permeability, promoting angiogenic activity, stimulating the release of epidermical growth factors, and by interfering with the bacterial mitochondrial respiratory chain. Topically administered nitric oxide has demonstrated to be effective and safe for the treatment of chronic ulcers secondary to cutaneous leishmaniasis. However, due to their unstable nitric oxide release, the topical donors needed to be applied frequently, diminishing the adherence to the treatment. This difficulty has led to the development of a multilayer polymeric transdermal patch produced by electrospinning technique that guarantees a constant nitric oxide release. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this novel nitric oxide releasing wound dressing for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. Methods and design: A double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, including 100 diabetic patients was designed. At the time of enrollment, a complete medical evaluation and laboratory tests will be performed, and those patients who meet the inclusion criteria randomly assigned to one of two groups. Over the course of 90 days group 1 will receive active patches and group 2 placebo patches. The patients will be seen by the research group at least every two weeks until the healing of the ulcer or the end of the treatment. During each visit the healing process of the ulcer, the patient's health status and the presence of adverse events will be assessed. Should the effectiveness of the patches be demonstrated an alternative treatment would then be available to patients. application/pdf 10.1186/1745-6215-8-26 1745-6215 https://repositorio.udes.edu.co/handle/001/3294 eng Trials Derechos Reservados - Trials, 2007 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Atribución-NoComercial 4.0 Internacional (CC BY-NC 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ https://trialsjournal.biomedcentral.com/track/pdf/10.1186/1745-6215-8-26 Placebo controlled Diabetic foot ulcers Double blind, randomized, placebo controlled clinical trial for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers, using a nitric oxide releasing patch : PATHON Artículo de revista http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501 Text info:eu-repo/semantics/article http://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/ART info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Publication http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2 http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85 |

Background: Diabetes Mellitus constitutes one of the most important public health problems due
to its high prevalence and enormous social and economic consequences. Diabetic foot ulcers are
one of the chronic complications of diabetes mellitus and constitute the most important cause of
non-traumatic amputation of inferior limbs. It is estimated that 15% of the diabetic population will
develop an ulcer sometime in their lives. Although novel therapies have been proposed, there is no
effective treatment for this pathology. Naturally produced nitric oxide participates in the wound
healing process by stimulating the synthesis of collagen, triggering the release of chemotactic
cytokines, increasing blood vessels permeability, promoting angiogenic activity, stimulating the
release of epidermical growth factors, and by interfering with the bacterial mitochondrial
respiratory chain. Topically administered nitric oxide has demonstrated to be effective and safe for
the treatment of chronic ulcers secondary to cutaneous leishmaniasis. However, due to their
unstable nitric oxide release, the topical donors needed to be applied frequently, diminishing the
adherence to the treatment. This difficulty has led to the development of a multilayer polymeric
transdermal patch produced by electrospinning technique that guarantees a constant nitric oxide
release. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this novel
nitric oxide releasing wound dressing for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. Methods and design: A double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, including 100 diabetic
patients was designed. At the time of enrollment, a complete medical evaluation and laboratory
tests will be performed, and those patients who meet the inclusion criteria randomly assigned to
one of two groups. Over the course of 90 days group 1 will receive active patches and group 2
placebo patches. The patients will be seen by the research group at least every two weeks until the
healing of the ulcer or the end of the treatment. During each visit the healing process of the ulcer,
the patient's health status and the presence of adverse events will be assessed. Should the
effectiveness of the patches be demonstrated an alternative treatment would then be available to
