MiroDerm hard-to-heal DFUs clinical study¹

The purpose of this single-arm, multi-center (9 sites), prospective study was to evaluate the ability of a novel Hepatic-Derived Wound Matrix (HD-WM), our MiroDerm, to treat difficult-to-heal
diabetic foot ulcers that had been present for at least 90 days and were non-responsive to at least two applications of an advanced biologic wound care product. 53 patients were enrolled in this study and 38 completed per protocol. The study subjects had wounds that had not healed within the previous 3 months. Subjects were fitted for, instructed on the use of, and received either a DH
off-loading walker of a DH off-loading post-op shoe with a customizable peg insert.

• 73.7% Male
• Mean Age: 61.7
• Mean BMI: 31.2
• Mean HbA1c: 7.8
• Mean ABI: 1.02

Proportion of healed DFUs at 12 weeks

Complete wound closure defined as: 100% epithelialization, no exudate, no need
for further dressing

• Mean time to closure of healed cohort: 8.1 weeks
• Mean number of MiroDerm applications in healed cohort: 2.1
• Percent closed over time: 71.4%

In this study, MiroDerm closed DFUs that had previously failed other advanced therapies. These favorable results are consistent with a similar pilot study.2 The results indicate that this HD-WM shows a robust potential to manage wounds and is an
appropriate technology to treat difficult-to-heal DFUs.

Prior to being treated with MiroDerm, subjects received a mean of 3.2 other advanced biologic applications.
Types of biologics previously used are quantified in the table below.*

*Key Inclusion Criteria: failed at least 2 attempts with an alternative advanced biologic, DFU that has not healed in the previous 3 months, neuropathic DFU between 1 and 12 cm2, less than 5 mm deep, full thickness, below the ankle, and with no exposed bone or tendon, type I or type II diabetes

70-year-old male, with a DFU had been open for 90 weeks and had been previously treated with both 3 applications of EpiFix (MiMedx) and 1 treatment regimen of REGRANEX (Smith+Nephew); the ulcer healed in 8 weeks with MiroDerm.

69-year old female, with a DFU that had been open for 34 weeks and had been previously treated with 2 applications of Omnigraft Dermal Regeneration Matrix (Integra LifeSciences) and 1 of CELLUTOME Epidermal Harvesting System (3M + KCI); the ulcer healed in 6 weeks with MiroDerm.

“The favorable results observed in this challenging patient population are promising with healing rates at or above the rates seen with typical DFUs and other advanced biologics.”
