Diabetic Foot Infections | Drug: Bisphosphocin Nu-3 Drug: Placebo | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
The study is designed to run the cohorts in series with the completion of the first cohort before initiating the next dosing level. At all study visits the ulcer will be visually examined for any changes and photographed using the Aranz Medical Silhouette™ system that will calculate area and depth of the ulcer.
In Arm 1, eligible subjects will be treated with a single application of Nu-3 or placebo in 4 to 1 ratio to judge the initial safety of Nu-3 over a brief one (1) hour interval and 24-hr interval post application. Bisphosphocin Nu-3 will be applied topically to the chronic infected ulcer, covered with a non-abrasive bandage following the initial observation period. The subject will be released with verbal instructions to leave the bandage on the wound and return for a follow up visit within 24h ± 2h. At the follow up visit, the bandage will be removed, the ulcer visually examined and the subject cleared for the MAD Arm 2 based on the recommendation of the PI and absence of any SAEs.
In Arm 2, eligible subjects which are those who have been approved by the PI after the Visit 2 examination will be instructed in the proper application of bisphosphocin Nu-3. The subjects will be observed applying the first dose in the clinic to ensure compliance. Subjects will then be given a 7 day supply and sent home to continue treatment. Visit 4 or earlier in the case of any adverse events, subjects will return to the clinic for an examination, including visual examination of the ulcer, vital signs, adverse events, photo documentation, collection of a sample for microbiology and concomitant medication use. A final follow up visit will be scheduled +7 days after last dose of study medication (Day 15) for a complete examination as described above.

- Number of Participants With Treatment-related Treatment-emergent Adverse Events as Graded According to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.02 (CTCAE) [ Time Frame: up to Day 15 (Visit 5) ]The severity of each adverse event, as judged by the investigator, was graded according to the CTCAE v4.02. Treatment-emergent adverse events are defined as adverse events with onset times after dosing, or pre-existing adverse events that worsened during the study.
- Number of Participants With Normal and Abnormal Cultures at Visits 2, 3, 4, and 5 [ Time Frame: Days 1, 2, 9, and 15 (Visits 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively) ]The microbiological response to bisphosphocin Nu-3 based on aerobic and anaerobic culture and sensitivity was determined by measuring the reduction of pathogenic bacteria following Nu-3 treatment. Each laboratory used their own standards to decide whether the cultures were normal or abnormal.
- Mean Change From Baseline in the Diabetic Ulcer Severity Score (DUSS) [ Time Frame: Baseline and Day 15 (Visit 5) ]Clinical response to bisphosphocin Nu-3 was determined by visual evaluation of ulcers, based on the Principal Investigator's judgement, following Nu-3 treatment. Ulcers were scored based on the DUSS. The following 4 parameters were scored as either 0 or 1. Palpable pedal pulses: presence, 0; absence, 1. Probing to the bone: no, 0; yes, 1. Location of ulcer: toe, 0; foot, 1. Number of ulcerations: single, 0; multiple, 1. The four parameter scores were summed to calculate a total score ranging from 0 to 4, with a higher score indicating increased severity. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing value obtained prior to receiving study drug. Change from Baseline is calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.
- Mean Change From Baseline in the Diabetic Foot Ulcer Wound Infection Score [ Time Frame: Baseline; Day 15 (Visit 5) ]Change from Baseline is calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing value obtained prior to receiving study drug. The Diabetic Foot Ulcer Wound Infection Score is a numerical scoring system comprised of 7 wound parameters. The score for each individual parameter is summed to calculate a total score, ranging from 0 (less severe infection) to 19 (more severe infection). Parameters are as follows: purulent discharge (0, absent; 3, present); non-purulent discharge (serious, sanguineous) (0, absent; 1, mild); other signs and symptoms of inflammation (erythema, induration, tenderness, pain; 0, none; 1, mild; 2, moderate; 3, severe); local warmth (relative to uninfected contralateral foot) (0, same; 1, mildly increased; 2, moderately increased; 3, severely increased).
- Mean Change From Baseline in Ulcer Area in the ITT Population [ Time Frame: Baseline; Day 15 (Visit 5) ]Change from Baseline is calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing value obtained prior to receiving study drug. For participants who have more than one ulcer, the measurement of all ulcers were combined for analysis.
- Mean Change From Baseline in the Percentage of Area Reduction for Ulcers in the ITT Population [ Time Frame: Baseline; Day 15 (Visit 5) ]Change from Baseline is calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing value obtained prior to receiving study drug. For participants who have more than one ulcer, the measurement of all ulcers were combined for analysis.
- Mean Change From Baseline in Ulcer Area in the Per-Protocol Population [ Time Frame: Baseline; Day 15 (Visit 5) ]Change from Baseline is calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing value obtained prior to receiving study drug. For participants who have more than one ulcer, the measurement of all ulcers were combined for analysis.
- Mean Change From Baseline in the Percentage of Area Reduction for Ulcers in the Per-Protocol Population [ Time Frame: Baseline; Day 15 (Visit 5) ]Change from Baseline is calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing value obtained prior to receiving study drug. For participants who have more than one ulcer, the measurement of all ulcers were combined for analysis.
