Aim of the study

The study is being conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of the investigational drug. By conducting the proposed clinical trial, we hope to find a new way to help patients with your disease - diabetic foot. In this clinical trial, the investigational drug is compared to a placebo. In addition, all patients receive standard therapy. The comparison with the placebo serves to better assess the effects and side effects of the test product.

FAQ Clinical Studies

Frequently asked questions

What are clinical trials?

A clinical trial is "any investigation involving human subjects", that tests new medical treatmentsdrugs or therapies to determine their safety and efficacy.

Why are clinical trials important?

Clinical trials are crucial for the development and validation of new medical approaches, to enable advances in healthcare and improve existing treatments.

How does a clinical trial work?

Clinical trials are conducted not only in hospitals, but also by physicians in private practice. Pharmaceutical companies are often the clients of such studies, but universities or hospitals can also initiate such studies. An educational interview will be conducted prior to potential participation. Here you will be informed about goals, methods, advantages and possible risks. After sufficient time to think about it, you can decide whether you want to participate in the clinical trial. Participation is always voluntary and can be terminated at any time without giving reasons. The initial consultation will be followed by the screening visit, during which your eligibility for the study will be assessed. If the assessment is positive, the baseline visit occurs, in which baseline values are recorded and then the study medication or a placebo is administered. During the treatment phase, regular visits are scheduled to monitor your health, the effectiveness of the medication, and any side effects. After the treatment phase, there is a follow-up phase to evaluate the long-term effects and safety of the medication.

Is it safe to participate in a clinical trial?

Yes, the safety of the participants is a top priority. Clinical trials are carefully planned and monitored to minimize potential risks. Prior to participation, researchers must disclose all risks and potential benefits of a study, and participation is always on a voluntary basis.
