5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Diabetic foot ulceration (DFU) is a common complication with a 25% lifetime risk in patients with diabetes. While most of these ulcers can be treated successfully on an outpatient basis, some will persist and become infected. Nearly one fifth of patients with lower-extremity diabetic ulcers will require amputation of the affected limb, resulting in staggering costs for both the patient and the healthcare system. Therapies that promote rapid and complete healing and reduce the need for expensive surgical procedures impact these costs substantially. The standard of care for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers is the removable cast walker (RCW). RCW use has demonstrated plantar pressure reduction yet is typically perceived as having compliance issues due to its removable nature. In addressing this limitation, a modified version of the RCW has been developed by wrapping it in a layer of cohesive or plaster bandage. This technique has been termed the "instant" total contact cast (iTCC) derived from the seldom-used, gold standard treatment, the total contact cast (TCC). While ease of application and potential clinical equivalence are clear benefits, the iTCC carries disadvantages on account of its irremovability. For example, frequent dressing changes impractical, yet may be necessary for complex wound care. The goal of this research is to continue inquiry and innovation in this most basic aspect of care, whilst addressing the limitations of past research and failures in this domain. The investigators propose examining the capability of the SurroSense Rx® smart insole and smartwatch system (Orpyx Medical Technologies Inc., Calgary AB) in managing and monitoring adherence to plantar pressure offloading through alert-based feedback. The insoles are embedded with pressure sensors, which wirelessly communicate with a smartwatch that provides feedback on modifying activity or pressure profile over time. This smartwatch transmits audio, visual, and tactile notifications when excessive pressure-time thresholds under plantar regions of interest have been met. This feedback allows patients to be educated on their plantar pressure, and engages them and their caregivers to manage adherence to offloading. The investigators also propose comparing the healing rates of active neuropathic ulcers using RCWs coupled with the SurroSense Rx® smart insole system to assess whether adjunctive use of the two interventions improves the efficiency of neuropathic ulcer treatment.
Detailed Description
Pressure offloading is the lynchpin of neuropathic ulcer care. Multiple methods of statically reducing pressure have been employed, with various degrees of success, in the ulcer care continuum. Traditional offloading interventions redistribute the load on the plantar surface, and include: non-removable devices (total contact casts, removable walkers rendered non-removable, and cast shoes), and removable devices (walkers, forefoot offloading shoes, half shoes, bivalve total contact casts, and therapeutic shoes)1,2,3. A Cochrane Review on the use of offloading in the treatment of uncomplicated neuropathic plantar ulcers gives the efficacy of each device type in terms of percentage of ulcers healed and time required for healing4. The total contact cast has been found to be more effective than removable devices in many randomized controlled trials, for both the percentage of neuropathic ulcers healed and the time required for healing5,6,7. Ninety-two percent of neuropathic ulcers healed in an average of 6 weeks8. Removable walkers made non-removable may be as effective as total contact casts9,10,11. The effectiveness of forefoot offloading shoes, half-shoes, and cast shoes in the healing of neuropathic forefoot ulcers needs to be confirmed by prospective trials12. The lower efficacy of prescribed removable devices could be attributable to a lower adherence to recommended use13. The effectiveness of offloading interventions is intimately linked to the skin reperfusion that is seen when persistent external pressure is alleviated. Key modifiable parameters in mitigating tissue damage to the neuropathic foot are pressure and time. Kosiak reported in 1959 that "microscopic pathologic changes were noted in tissues subjected to as little as 60 mmHg for only one hour"14,15. More recently, exposures from 15 min to one hour at pressures greater than 240 mmHg, and from two hours or more at pressures greater than 67 mmHg, were found to cause cell death in rat muscle tissue16. Despite this, there is limited information regarding the efficacy of interventions aimed at preventing pressure ulcers; a comprehensive review of the literature did not find enough evidence to recommend a repositioning frequency17. A consensus document from an international review on pressure ulcer prevention states that "patients confined to wheelchairs should be taught to reposition every 15 minutes"18. While established pressure offloading interventions are able to statically reduce pressure on the active ulcer, they provide no dynamic relief of pressure. Since neuropathy is characterized by a loss of protective sensation (LOPS), the patient is often unaware of sustained pressure on a specific anatomic region over time. Even with static offloading instruments, it is conceivable that critical pressure and time thresholds can be dynamically exceeded without the patient's knowledge or ability to address the problem. Taken together, the literature provides support for the development of a system that monitors pressure over time at key locations, and provides alert-based feedback to guide as-needed, patient-based offloading for use in patients with active ulceration. The SurroSense Rx system (Orpyx Medical Technologies Inc., Calgary, AB) is a patent pending (US Publication #20120109013 and PCT WO/2012/055029) footwear system designed to aid in the prevention of plantar pressure ulceration and re-ulceration and the treatment of active ulcers in neuropathic patients. It comprises two pressure-sensing inserts and a smartwatch display device. The device alerts the user when "safe" pressure and time thresholds have been exceeded; the current thresholds are based on the general clinical understanding of pressure ulcer formation, which indicates that a conservative threshold would be >30-50mmHg for >15 minutes. For a review of the literature, please refer to Appendix 4. As more plantar pressure and outcome data are collected over time, these thresholds may be modified for future iterations of the product. These thresholds will be kept constant for the duration of the study in question. The device measures plantar pressures at discrete points corresponding to bony prominences that would be considered to be at higher risk for ulceration: the first metatarsal head (1), the lateral metatarsal heads (2), the great toe (1), the lateral toes (1), the lateral foot (2), and the heel (1). These areas were selected based on the inherent high risk of neuropathic ulceration at these anatomic locations. This data is tracked, with analysis being performed on those that have been collected over the last 15 minutes. If > 95% of the measurements taken by a pressure sensor over a 15-minute scanning window exceed 30-50 mmHg, an alert is sent to the user via the smartwatch to guide them to appropriately offload that area. The proof of concept of the designed platform as a supplement in the management of the diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) will be assessed in the context of a randomized clinical trial (RCT) pilot. Our hypotheses are that the proposed technology will: Accelerate the wound healing process (i.e. success of complete wound healing within 16 weeks, time to heal, rate of wound size change, and complication rate); Improve adherence with RCW use (measured in hours of use per day); and Improve offloading (i.e. in terms of pressure-time intervals). Upon wound closure, prevent the incidence of plantar ulcer recurrence. Eligible subjects will be randomized to the Experimental Arm, Control Arm A or Control Arm B (25 per arm). The experimental group will be provided with an active (alerting) SurroSense Rx® device fitted into a standardized RCW* (Rebound® Diabetic Walker, Össur, Iceland). Control Group A will be provided with an inactive (non-alerting) version of the SurroSense Rx® device fitted into a standardized RCW. Control Group B will be provided with an inactive version of the SurroSense Rx® device fitted into a standardized RCW and secured with a device-specific tie; this will act as an iTCC device for the purposes of this trial. Patients in all arms will be provided with a New Balance 928 shoe to wear on their contralateral foot so as to ensure optimal device performance. All patients will be assessed at baseline and every week until successful wound healing or 16 weeks, whichever comes first. Following wound resolution, patients will be followed with their assigned device, being used in a pair of New Balance 928 shoes to be provided to the patient, for 6 months for ulcer recurrence. After 6 months, the device will be discontinued, at which time the patients will be followed for an additional 12 months for further ulcer recurrence. Should a patient's wound remain unresolved after 16 weeks, they will continue using their assigned device into the subsequent 6-month period. If wound resolution occurs during this 6-month period, patients will switch to the New Balance 928 shoes for the remainder of the period; however, if wound resolution does not occur during this time, the patient will be withdrawn from the study prior to the commencement of the subsequent 12-month observation period. For all research subjects wearing the SurroSense Rx®, the device will measure plantar pressure and adherence to prescribed offloading. All groups will be fit with Jawbone UP Activity Trackers (or an equivalent activity tracker) so as to monitor their activity throughout the study. *The removable Rebound® Diabetic Walker insole is heat-moldable: it can be heated (3 minutes at 110°C/230°F) and formed to the patients' foot (the patient stands in socks on the heated insole for 1 minute - then the hexagons should be removed as appropriate). This method should improve the weight distribution of the plantar foot and provide better offloading at the ulcer sites, and is recommended for optimal treatment. Primary aims of the study: This pilot study will investigate the efficacy of the SurroSense Rx® system in expediting the healing of active neuropathic ulcers in terms of rate of wound area reduction. It will also investigate the system's potential to improve healing rates in the treatment of active neuropathic ulcers using the more practical RCWs. It will also investigate the system's potential to prevent recurrent ulceration post ulcer resolution. To achieve this, following wound resolution, patients will be followed for 18 months (the first 6 months with their assigned device) to monitor for ulcer recurrence. Secondary aims of the study: Compare complete wound healing at 16 weeks in the experimental versus control groups Compare the healing times and rates as a function of the patient's baseline Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) and Modified Neuropathy Disability Score (MNDS)19 in the experimental versus control group Compare the change in the MNDS over the course of the study Performance of a cost-effectiveness analysis of the experimental versus control group's methods of treating diabetic ulcers Elucidate pressure data and adherence parameters (activity data-including step count and type of activity, peak pressures, number of alerts, measures of central tendency for time to offload, areas of alert generation, hours of use per day) for all patients, and compare those data for patients in the experimental versus control groups Compare area of ulceration to areas of SurroSense Rx® device alert generation (active devices) or would-be alert generation (inactive devices) Compare pressure data and adherence parameters (activity data-including step count and type of activity, peak pressures, number of alerts, measures of central tendency for time to offload, areas of alert generation, hours of use per day) to MNSI and MNDS Scales Examine the ability of pressure data and adherence parameters to predict healing Comparison of complication rates in the experimental versus control groups
