Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
Diabetic foot ulcer is a common complication of diabetes that occurs in an estimated 15% of diabetic patients. Infection and gangrene, the two major complications of ulcers, lead to amputation in 4 to 7 per 1.000 patients with diabetes. With an over 5% worldwide prevalence of diabetes, the morbidity and mortality and the expenses associated with diabetic foot ulcers are substantial both for the patients and for the health care systems. The standard wound care of diabetic foot ulcer relies primarily on pressure relief, debridement and maintenance of a moist wound environment. In addition, growth factor therapy with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB) has demonstrated significant clinical benefit by increasing the incidence of complete wound closure and by accelerating wound healing. RhPDGF-BB formulated as a gel (Regranex® Gel 0.01%, Systagenix Wound Management, formerly Johnson & Johnson; and Healace®, Virchow Biotech Pvt, Ltd) is the only growth factor approved for the treatment of neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers. However, the limited efficacy of Regranex® Gel (healing rate only increased by 15% versus placebo, still leaving 50% of the patients unhealed), the inconvenience of the treatment regimen (daily application of the gel and once or twice daily wound care), and the high cost of the associated nursing care are strong impediments to its use in routine ulcer care management. Adocia has developed BioChaperone PDFG-BB, a new liquid formulation designed for an application of rhPDGF-BB as a spray, and only every two days, hence reducing the burden and nursing cost associated with the gel dose regimen. The aim of this study is to establish the proof of concept in a Phase I/II clinical trial with two objectives: i) establish equivalence to Regranex® Gel with two major advantages (improved compliance and reduced nursing care and thus costs), and ii) assess the efficacy of a double dose.
