10. Diabetic Charcot neuroarthropathy or other structural deformity that would prevent adequate off-loading of the study foot.

12. Having received another investigational drug or biologic within 30 days prior to signing the informed consent form or currently participating in an investigational drug or biologic study.
13. A psychiatric condition or chronic alcohol or drug abuse problem, determined from the patient’s medical history, which in the Investigator’s opinion may pose a threat to patient compliance.
14. History of non-compliance with treatment or clinical visit attendance (i.e. this study requires that patients will comply with the protocol and ulcer care regimen).
15. Any unstable medical condition judged by the Investigator or Medical Monitor that would cause the study to be detrimental to the patient.
16. A Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test result of > 11% (>97 mmol/mol) documented at the screening visit.
17. Wounds caused primarily by untreated vascular insufficiency, or where patients are primarily eligible for vascular intervention to promote wound healing.
18. Wounds with an aetiology not related to diabetes.
19. More than three wounds on the target lower extremity.
20. The wound to be studied not anatomically distinct from another wound(s) (separated by < 1 cm from another wound or would interfere with standard of care treatment of another wound. Only one single wound per one study subject can be treated in this study.
21. Wounds which decrease in area by >50% during the screening 4-week run-in period.
22. Ulcers with underlying osteomyelitis on the leg with the wound to be treated.
23. Patients presenting with the clinical characteristics of cellulitis at the wound site (suppurative inflammation involving particularly the subcutaneous tissue, often mild erythema, tenderness, malaise, chills and fever).
24. Revascularization surgery on the leg with the wound to be treated ≤8 weeks prior to signing the informed consent form.
25. Surgery to lengthen Achilles tendon on the leg with the wound to be treated ≤8 weeks prior to signing the informed consent form.
26. Necrosis, purulence, or sinus tracts that cannot be removed by debridement on foot to be treated.
27. Received dermal substitute or living skin equivalent (Leukopatch within 30 days prior to signing the informed consent form.
28. Received prior PDGF-BB (Regranex®/becaplermin) therapy within 30 days prior to signing the informed consent form.
29. Has known history of clinical sensitivity reactions to products of bovine origin or to the primary or secondary dressings used in the trial. |
