The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if using FoundationDRS Solo improves healing of chronic, non-healing foot ulcers in diabetic patients.

The main question that this study aims to answer is:

Does FoundationDRS Solo, when used in conjunction with standard of care wound management techniques, result in a higher percentage of target ulcers achieving complete closure (i.e. healing) as compared to ulcers being treated with standard of care alone after 12 weeks of treatment.

One ulcer on each participant's foot will receive weekly applications of 1) FoundationDRS Solo and standard of care wound management or 2) standard of care wound management alone. Pictures of the ulcer and measurements of its size will be measured every week to track its healing progress over a total treatment period of 12 weeks. Additionally, the participants will be asked to fill out a questionnaire about the wound impacts their life and their quality of life.

Patients with diabetes often develop ulcers on their lower extremities. While some ulcers can be managed using standard of care wound management techniques including debridement, moist dressings, infection control and off-loading, many develop into chronic, non-healing wounds. Chronic non-healing wounds can lead to higher risk of infection, amputation and decreased quality of life.

Advanced wound therapies aim to promote rapid and complete healing of chronic wounds. Examples of an advanced wound therapies include scaffolds that contain and / or mimic the structure and function of the natural extracellular matrix of tissue. Several biomimetic scaffolds have been cleared for the management of a variety of wounds (including DFU's) by the US FDA.

The focus of this clinical trial is to determine the clinical utility of treating diabetic foot ulcers with weekly applications of FoundationDRS Solo in addition to standard of care wound management techniques compared to applying standard of care wound management only.

It is hypothesized that the addition of FoundationDRS Solo to standard of care treatment will result in a higher percentage of ulcers achieving complete closure (i.e. healing) compared to ulcer being treated with standard of care alone after 12 weeks of treatment.

To test this hypothesis the study will consist of patients who will undergo standard of care for 4-weeks prior to entering a 12-week treatment phase. During the 4-week standard of care phase, patients meeting inclusion criteria (including confirmation that ulcer does not reduce in area by more than 50%) will be randomized into the treatment groups. During the 12-week treatment phase, index wounds will be treated weekly with FoundationDRS Solo and standard of care or standard of care alone.

Evaluation of data (outcome measures) associated with the trial will include intent to treat and per protocol analyses which will be performed by at least one blinded statistician and investigator.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. 1. Subjects must be at least 18 years of age or older.

2. Subjects must have a diagnosis of type 1 or 2 Diabetes mellitus requiring treatment with oral medications and/or insulin replacement therapy.

4. The target ulcer must have been present for a minimum of 4 weeks and is unresponsive (defined by less than 50% wound area reduction) to standard wound care.

5. The target ulcer must be located on the foot with at least 50% of the ulcer below the malleolus.

6. The target ulcer must be Wagner 1 or 2 grade, extending at least through the dermis or subcutaneous tissue and may involve the muscle provided it is below either malleoli.

7. The affected limb must have adequate perfusion confirmed by vascular assessment. Any of the following methods performed within 3 months of the first screening visit are acceptable:

   4. PVR: biphasic;
   5. skin perfusion pressure (SPP) ≥ 30 mmHg.

8. If the subject has two or more ulcers, they must be separated by at least 2 cm. The largest ulcer satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be designated as the target ulcer.

9. The index ulcer has been offloaded with protocol defined offloading device for at least 14 days prior to randomization (i.e. Screening through TV1/Randomization).

10. The potential subject must consent to using the prescribed offloading method for the duration of the study.

11. The potential subject must agree to attend the weekly study visits required by the protocol.

12. The potential subject must be willing and able to participate in the informed consent process.

13. Index ulcer and/or index ulcer limb may have had prior infection(s), but must be adequately treated and controlled as defined by IDSA Guidelines Grade level 1 (Appendix L).

14. The index ulcer has a clean base and is free from necrotic debris at time of placement of product / treatment.

15. Negative pregnancy test for females of childbearing potential (e.g., not post-menopausal for at least one yar or surgically sterile). Females of childbearing potential must be willing to use acceptable methods of contraception (birth control pills, barriers, or abstinence) starting at Screening and continuing through the duration of their study participation.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. The target ulcer has been present for more than 52 weeks.
2. The ulcer includes exposed tendon or bone.
3. The potential subject is known to have a life expectancy of < 6 months.

5. The target ulcer is infected or has cellulitis in the surrounding skin.
6. There is evidence of osteomyelitis complicating the target ulcer.
7. The potential subject has an infection in the target ulcer or in a remote location that requires systemic antibiotic therapy.
8. The potential subject is receiving immunosuppressants (including systemic corticosteroids at doses greater than 10 mg of Prednisone per day or equivalent) or cytotoxic chemotherapy.
9. The potential subject has applied topical steroids to the ulcer surface within one month of initial screening.
10. The potential subject has a previous partial amputation on the affected foot that resulted in a deformity impeding proper offloading of the target ulcer.
11. A potential subject must be excluded if either of the following conditions are met:

Condition A (Overall 4-week reduction)

The surface are of the target ulcer has decreased by more than 50% over the 4 weeks prior to Treatment Visit 1, which includes:

The historical run-in period, and

The 2-week Screening Phase.

OR

Condition B (Sequential reductions across both phases)

Both of the following are true:

1. During the historical run-in period (the 2-weeks prior to the Screening Visit):

   The target ulcer surface area decreases by more than 25%.
