Associated Foot & Ankle Specialists initate enrollment for foot ulcer trial

Associated Foot & Ankle Specialists has started recruiting patients with foot ulcers due to diabetes to participate in the Matrix clinical trial to evaluate the effects of a new product, Excellarate.

The trial is a randomized, double-blind safety and efficacy research study in which Excellarate is topically administered once or twice over the course of the study, with a goal of complete ulcer closure at 12 weeks or earlier.

Arthur Tallis, podiatric physician & surgeon at Associated Foot & Ankle Specialists and a trial investigator, said: “The Excellarate topical gel, using Gene Activated Matrix (GAM) technology is designed to provide release of the platelet-derived growth factor BB protein, which stimulates angiogenesis (the growth of new blood vessels) and granulation tissue formation, the building blocks for a variety of wound healing processes.”
