Protocol summary

Study aim
The effects of PRP and SVF on the healing of diabetic foot ulcers in patients resistant to conventional treatments
Design
A clinical trial with the control group, with parallel groups, randomized, phase 3 on 20 patients. A table of random numbers is used with online software.
Settings and conduct
Twenty patients with treatment-resistant diabetic foot ulcers on the Wagner scale referred to Mashhad Velayat Hospital were included and after obtaining informed consent, they were divided into 4 groups. The healing rate of diabetic foot ulcers is evaluated for 6 months. Also, oxidative stress, angiogenesis, and inflammation factors are measured in serum. The miRNA levels in the peripheral blood serum will be done.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1- Diabetic ulcer grade 1 to 4 2- A single wound in the legs and extremities that has been at least 4 weeks old 3- No smoking, alcohol and drugs 4- Not taking drugs that interfere with wound healing 5- Not having a simultaneous disease 6- Informed consent Exclusion criteria: 1. osteomyelitis 2. Visibility of bone in the area of treatment 3. Infectious diabetic foot ulcer 4. Charcot deformity 5. History of chemotherapy or radiation therapy in the past 3 months 6. Hemoglobin less than 10mg/dL 7. History of treatment with growth factors during the last two weeks 8. Platelets less than 100,000 per cc of plasma 9. Vascular problems should not be observed in the wound
Intervention groups
Four groups of 5 each: 1- The diabetic wound is treated with PRP twice a week for one month 2- 100 ml of the adipose tissue is collected in an autologous from the patient 3- PRP+SVF treatment 4- As the control group, the common treatment includes a combined treatment surgery, infection control,..
Main outcome variables

Randomized
Randomization description
Randomization method: block Build random sequences: Randomization website (Randomaize.com) Allocation Concealment: SNOSE (sequentially numbered, opaque, sealed envelopes) According to the two intervention and control groups, the number of each block will be five. Then, write a list of blocks and assign numbers to them, which will be four blocks according to the sample size of 20 people. After that, random numbers between one and four are selected according to the randomization website (Randomaize.com). Finally, the allocated treatment list is written based on random numbers on the envelopes.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Control group: As the control group, the common treatment for the patient is considered. The common treatment for these patients is a combined treatment including surgery, infection control, etc., which is prescribed to the patient at the discretion of the treatment staff and depending on the type and severity of the wound.

2

Description
Intervention group: In this group, the diabetic wound is treated with PRP twice a week for one month. In this way, in each session, 50 ml of blood is taken from the patient in a tube containing citrate phosphate dextrose or sodium citrate anticoagulant. PRP is prepared from the patient's plasma according to the protocol. The necrotic part of the wound is surgically removed by the attending physician and after washing the wound three times with hydrogen peroxide and normal saline, the wound is photographed. Then, depending on the area of the wound, up to 5 ml (per session) of PRP solution prepared by the surgeon is injected. It should be noted that the injection is done at several points of the edges of the wound so that the environment of the edge of the wound is properly covered. After that, the wound is bandaged with a wet silicone bandage.

Description
Intervention group: About 100 ml of the patient's fat tissue is collected by the negative-pressure liposuction technique in an autologous manner from the patient himself through surgery. Then, the fat tissue taken in sterile conditions under the laminar hood is transformed into smaller pieces with a surgical blade, and the amount of blood remaining in it will be removed after washing twice with normal saline. The total volume of SVF solution is 60 cc, and it contains 30 x 106 live cells for one injection in the study. The injection method is that 20 cc of SVF solution containing 10 x 106 live cells will be injected into the subcutaneous tissues around the wound (with low injection volumes, 0.5 cc). Another 20 cc of SVF solution containing 10 x 106 live cells will be injected into the wound bed (with low injection volumes, 0.5 cc). 10 cc of SVF solution containing 5 x 106 viable cells will be injected at the level of the ankle, parallel to the anterior tibial artery, and pedis dorsalis (with low injection volumes, 0.5 cc). 10 cc of SVF containing 5 x 106 viable cells will be injected at the level of the ankle, parallel to the posterior tibial artery (with low injection volumes, 0.5 cc). The injection will be done after removing the necrotic part of the wound by surgery and after washing the wound three times with hydrogen peroxide and normal saline, the wound will be photographed and then the injection will be done according to the described method.

Description
Intervention group: PRP+SVF treatment is used in this group. For this reason, SVF is separated like the second group. The volume of 30 cc of SVF contains 15 x 106 live cells for one injection. The injection method is that 10 cc of SVF containing 5 x 106 live cells will be injected into the subcutaneous tissues around the wound (with low injection volumes, 0.5 cc). 10 cc of SVF containing 5 x 106 viable cells will be injected into the wound bed (with low injection volumes, 0.5 cc). 5 cc of SVF containing 2.5 x 106 viable cells will be injected at the level of the ankle, parallel to the anterior tibial artery, and pedis dorsalis (with low injection volumes, 0.5 cc). 5 cc of SVF containing 2.5 x 106 viable cells will be injected at the level of the ankle, parallel to the posterior tibial artery (with low injection volumes, 0.5 cc). In this group, for the treatment with PRP, about 50 ml of autologous blood is taken from the patient and PRP is prepared like the RPR preparation protocol in the first group. In this group, the injection will be once a week for a month. Depending on the area of the wound, up to 5 ml (per session) of PRP solution prepared by the surgeon is injected. It should be noted that the injection is done at several points of the edges of the wound so that the environment of the edge of the wound is properly covered. After that, the wound is bandaged with a wet silicone bandage. Wet silicone dressing is changed every three days.
