A Comparison of Collagenase Santyl® Ointment Used Adjunctively to Sharp Surgical Debridement and Sharp Surgical Debridement in the Care of Diabetic Foot Wounds


Subjects enrolled in this study will either use Santyl daily or follow standard care
procedures for up to 6 weeks for their diabetic foot wound. After 6 weeks of treatment, the
subjects will continue into the follow-up phase for an additional 6 weeks. Study doctors
will look at the wound in the office each week (up to 12 weeks) to see if the wound is
healing. Depending on a number of factors at each office visit, the study doctors may also
use a procedure called sharp debridement to remove dead skin from the wound.

This study will test the hypothesis that daily treatment of diabetic foot wounds with Santyl
will result in more rapid healing, healthier wounds, and fewer required sharp debridements
over the study period than for diabetic foot wounds treated in other ways.


INCLUSION CRITERIA

- Provide written informed consent, which will consist of reading, signing, and dating
the informed consent document after the Investigator, sub-Investigator or other
designated study staff member has explained the study procedures, risks, and contact
information.

- Subjects 18 years of age or older. Subjects may be of either sex and of any race or
skin type provided that their skin color, in the opinion of the Investigator, will
not interfere with the study assessments.

- A target ulcer which is 0.5 cm2 - 10 cm2 inclusive (as measured at the Screening
Visit) with a duration ≥ 30 days (documented in the patient's history or by patient
report of onset) which requires sharp surgical debridement.

- Adequate arterial blood flow as evidenced by an ankle brachial index (ABI) of > 0.7
and ≤ 1.1. If the ABI is greater than 1.1, then a toe pressure of > 40 mmHg OR a
TcPO2 ≥ 40 mmHg must be present. Either toe pressure or TcPO2 is also acceptable as
a stand-alone measurement, but if both are obtained, each must meet its respective
cutoff.

- Alternatively, a Doppler waveform consistent with adequate flow to the region of the
foot with the target ulcer (biphasic or triphasic waveforms) is acceptable.

- A target ulcer that is not infected based on clinical assessment.

- Willing and able to make all required study visits.

- Able to follow instructions and perform the dressing changes at home or have a
caregiver who can perform the dressing changes according to the protocol.

- Willing to use an appropriate off-loading device whenever necessary to keep weight
off of any foot ulcers.

- History of diabetes mellitus (Type 1 or 2) requiring insulin or oral hypoglycemic
medications to control blood glucose levels.

- CBC and blood chemistry values as follows:

- Serum albumin ≥ 2.0 g/dL

- Pre-albumin levels of ≥ 15 mg/dL

- Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 500 U/L

- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 200 U/L

- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 175 U/L

- Serum total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 mg/dL

- Serum BUN < 75 mg/dL

- Serum creatinine ≤ 4.5 mg/dL

- HbA1c ≤ 12%

- Hemoglobin (Hgb) > 8.0 g/dL

- WBC > 2.0 x 109/L

- Absolute neutrophil count > 1.0 x 109/L

- Platelet count > 50 x 109/L

EXCLUSION CRITERIA

- Contraindications or hypersensitivity to the use of the study medications or their
components.

- Target ulcer does not require debridement.

- Uncontrolled bleeding disorder.

- Cellulitis of the target wound, lymphangitic streaking, deep tissue abscess,
gangrene, or infection of muscle, tendon, joint or bone.

- Infection with systemic toxicity or metabolic instability (e.g., fever, chills,
tachycardia, hypotension, confusion, vomiting, leukocytosis, acidosis, severe
hyperglycemia, azotemia).

- Any of the following:

- Target ulcer tunneling

- Target ulcer requires hyperbaric or negative pressure therapy per the
investigator's medical judgment

- Target ulcer is on the heel and cannot be offloaded

- Target ulcer is over a Charcot deformity which cannot be offloaded

- NOTE: A heel ulcer or an ulcer over a Charcot is not excluded unless effective
offloading is not possible.

- Current, ongoing osteomyelitis of the target foot as determined by medical history.

- Participation in another investigational clinical study within thirty (30) days of
the Screening Visit.

- A target ulcer which involves underlying tissues (i.e., fat, fascia, tendon, muscle,
bone).

- A target ulcer on a non-neuropathic foot (neuropathic defined as inability to
perceive 10 grams pressure using a Semmes-Weinstein 5.07 or equivalent monofilament
in the periwound area).

- NOTE: Monofilament test result must be documented.

- Diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease, leukocyte adhesion defects, or severe
neutropenia.

- Current treatment (at the time of the Screening Visit) with any of the following:

- Systemic corticosteroids

- Immunosuppressive agents

- Chemotherapeutic agents

- Antiviral agents

- Platelet-derived growth factor (e.g., Regranex)

- Living skin equivalent (e.g., Apligraf)

- Dermal substitute (e.g., Dermagraft, Integra, etc.)

- Systemic antibiotic therapy or topical antibiotic treatment of the target ulcer

- Radiation therapy to the target lower extremity within 30 days prior to screening The
Medical Monitor and/or Investigator may declare any subject ineligible for a valid
medical reason.
