PROTOCOL SUMMARY 
1.1 
SYNOPSIS 
Title: 
A Pilot Phase I/II Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of TWB-103 in 
Treating Lower Limb Ulcers on Patients with Diabetes Mellitus 
 
Study Description: 
This study is designed in a Phase I/II, single-arm manner. This study plans to 
enroll 10 subjects (for 8 evaluable, per-protocol subjects) with diabetic lower 
limb ulcers for treating with up to 12 weekly applications of TWB-103 and 
evaluating the safety and efficacy of TWB-103. TWB-103 will be applied to 
the target ulcer wound once a week by the investigator, starting from Day 1, 
until wound closure is confirmed or up to 12 weekly applications. An ulcer 
wound is considered healed only after closure is confirmed at the visit 2 
weeks later. Therefore, a wound closure should be observed at three 
consecutive visits (i.e. a duration of 2 weeks) for an ulcer to be deemed as 
healed. Following the confirmation of wound closure or completion of 12-
week treatment period, whichever comes first, subjects will start a 24-week 
follow-up period.  
 
The potential subjects with diabetic lower limb ulcer will be arranged to 
receive standard of care only for at least 2 weeks during screening period. 
Any subject whose study ulcer size decreases by at least 30% after this 
standard of care will be excluded from the study.  
 
If the study ulcer wound is not closed after TWB-103 treatment, standard of 
care will be applied during the following 24 weeks of follow-up. If the study 
ulcer wound is healed after TWB-103 treatment, appropriate standard of care 
should still be applied for protection. 
 
The first 3 subjects will be recruited sequentially with a 3-week staggering in 
the initiation of study treatment. Patients who experience ≥ Grade 1 allergic 
reaction at least possibly related to the investigational product (section 
8.4.3.2), has > Grade 2 skin infection in the ulcer wound, or the treatment for 
the ulcer wound infection requires subject’s hospitalization, intravenous 
infusion or muscular injection of antibiotics, must not receive any further 
TWB-103 treatment. Additionally, if major surgery debridement is required, 
the subject should stop TWB-103 treatment. The study will be stopped when 
 3 subjects received TWB-103 have developed grade 3 or above AEs 
according to CTCAE 5.0, independent of attribution. If the cause of AE can 
be identified and resolved, the study may be resumed. 
 
Objectives: 
 
Primary Objective: To assess the safety profile of TWB-103 administered 
to subjects with diabetic lower limb ulcers  
 
 
Secondary Objective: To explore the efficacy of TWB-103 administered to 
subjects with diabetic lower limb ulcers 
 
Endpoints: 
Primary Endpoint: Incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse 
events (SAEs). Pre-existing abnormalities are considered as AE or SAE only 
when the conditions escalate. The following events should be discussed

specifically:  
1. Study wound and its periphery: Infection, pain, pruritus/irritation, skin 
dysfunction/blister, osteomyelitis, cellulitis, edema/swelling and unexpected 
surgery 
2. Non-study area and systemic: Infection, pain, pruritus/irritation, skin 
dysfunction/blister, osteomyelitis, cellulitis, edema/swelling, unexpected 
surgery, accidental injury, abnormal lab test and general disorders 
 
 
Secondary Endpoints: 
1. The percentage of subjects with confirmed study wound closure at each 
week up to 12 weeks. 
* Wound closure is defined as “full epithelialization of the wound with 
the absence of drainage or dressing requirement and without sign of 
abscess under the epithelium”. An ulcer is considered healed only after 
wound closure is re-confirmed at the visit 2 weeks later. Therefore, a 
wound closure should be observed at three consecutive visits (i.e. a 
duration of 2 weeks) for an ulcer to be deemed as healed. 
2. Time (days) to confirmed wound closure for those subjects whose 
wounds are healed during treatment period and during the study period. 
3. Reduction of individual wound area for up to 12 weeks. 
4. Reduction of wound area at each week up to 12 weeks. 
5. General granulation rate and quality of granulation tissue. 
6. Reduction of wound volume for individual subject measured by 3D 
camera and analysis software up to 12 weeks (only for those subjects 
who have received the 3D measurement). 
 
Study Population: 
Ten subjects aged at least 20 years old (inclusive) with diabetic lower limb 
ulcers presented for at least 4 weeks are planned to enroll in Taiwan. 
 
Inclusion Criteria 
In order to be eligible to participate in this study, an individual must meet all 
of the following criteria: 
1. Adults at least 20 years of age. 
2. With diagnosed diabetic mellitus (DM), e.g. currently under DM 
medication treatment, or with HbA1c ≧6.5% but ≦ 12%, or with fasting 
plasma glucose ≧126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L), or with plasma glucose ≧ 200 
mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) in the two-hour 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test 
(OGTT). 
3. With at least one cutaneous ulcer on or below malleoli, and not healing for 
at least 4 weeks (the ≧2-week standard of care period can be counted as 
part of the 4-week ulcer history). 
4. With ankle brachial index (ABI) ≥ 0.4 on the limb with the study ulcer. For 
subjects with 0.6＞ABI ≧0.4, the investigator will arrange for providing 
proper treatment to the subject, such as improving circulation by 
medication or surgical procedures, etc. 
5. The study wound is not prone to infection (the wound can be maintained 
clean and well bandaged, there is no nearby infected lesion, and there is no 
history of recurrent infections). 
6. The wound should allow complete sealing of the wound by TegadermTM

1. Procedures performed between signing ICF and Day 1 are acceptable. However, procedures should be completed before the TWB-103 application if performed 
on Day 1; in this case, the same procedures scheduled for Day 1 can be waived. 
2. During this screening period, subjects will receive standard-of-care to the target ulcer wound for at least 2 weeks to observe the wound healing rate (inclusion 
criteria #8). The wound size before and after the standard-of-care treatment should be recoded. The choice of standard-of-care will be at investigator’s discretion 
based on the subject’s physical condition. 
3. If any subject has confirmed wound closure before week 12, he/she will stop TWB-103 application and complete assessments of End-of-Treatment (Week 12). 
Those subjects who have confirmed wound closure before week 12 will have follow-up visits at 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 18 weeks and 24

INTRODUCTION 
2.1 
STUDY RATIONALE 
Diabetes Mellitus is a common illness worldwide. As of 2017, an estimated 425 million people had 
diabetes worldwide1. Diabetes can cause several complications and diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a major 
complication of diabetes mellitus. DFU is most common medical complication causing diabetics to get 
medical treatment. The global average prevalence of diabetic foot ulcer is 6.4% of diabetic patients, with 
variation between 3% in Oceania to 13% in North America2. Approximately 1% of people with diabetes 
suffer lower-limb amputation1. 85% of those amputations in diabetic patients have preceded foot 
ulceration2. In a survey conducted in 2011, around 1.3% of diabetic patients develop foot ulcer and 0.7% 
of diabetic patients have lower limb amputations3. As a result, DFU is wildly acknowledged a source of 
major distress and morbidity for diabetic subjects, and also an enormous drain on health-care resources. 
Seeking effective treatments for DFU has become an important issue for patients and healthcare 
practitioners. 
 
Diabetic foot ulcers are most commonly caused by poor circulation, high blood sugar (hyperglycemia), 
nerve damage and irritated or wounded feet. Poor circulation and high blood sugar usually make ulcers 
more difficult to heal. Nerve damage can reduce the pain sensation, which increases risk of further 
wounding. Additionally, diabetic patients often have cracking or splinter due to dry skin, which will 
increase the chance of diabetic patients to develop foot ulcers. 
 
Treatment for diabetic foot ulcer varies depending on the cause, the severity and condition of ulcer wound. 
A good wound cleansing and a moist wound environment, such as daily saline, are common self-care for 
diabetic foot ulcer. A debridement to remove necrotic or infected tissues can help ulcer healing. 
Management of wound infection, a serious complication of a foot ulcer, is also typical to prevent the 
deterioration of the ulcer wound. Evaluation and correction of peripheral arterial insufficiency will 
increase the circulation and improve the healing of ulcer. Moreover, pressure from walking can make an 
infection worse and an ulcer expand, particularly for overweight patients, and therefore stay off the feet 
can prevent pain and ulcers. Patients may benefit from using appropriate therapeutic footwear, such as 
diabetic shoes, compression wraps and shoe inserts. Surgical intervention may be also suggested by the 
doctors to alleviate pressure around the ulcer. Many topical over-the-counter treatments are available for 
foot ulcers, including dressings containing silver or silver sulphadiazine cream, polyhexamethylene 
biguanide (PHMB) gel or solutions, iodine (either povidone or cadexomer), or medical grade honey in 
ointment or gel form.

Although there are many standard treatments for diabetic foot ulcer, as described above, diabetic foot 
ulcer usually results from multiple pathological factors (e.g. vascular insufficiency, altered cellular 
activity, and a dysfunctional extracellular matrix), leading to a deficient wound bed, which often fails to 
respond to conventional therapy alone. A multidisciplinary approach is therefore in need in giving better 
treatment outcomes for diabetic foot ulcer. Cell therapies have shown as a promising solution for diabetic 
wound healing, owing to the ability of cells to secret an array of factors that facilitate the wound healing. 
Particularly, the safety records of clinical use of dermal fibroblasts in wound healing have been superior 
in the past two decades. Moreover, fibroblast-containing products, including Apligraf®, Demagraft®, have 
been approved for treating diabetic foot ulcers. TWB-103 which contains cultured fetal dermal fibroblasts 
is being developed to overcome the deficits associating with the current cell products such as high pricing, 
lack of donor tissue and short shelf life, etc.  
 
2.2 
BACKGROUND 
Wound healing is a complexed process where the skin can repair from damage. This process includes the 
following phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and maturation4. The hemostasis phase 
requires the activation of platelets which induces blood clotting at the wound site to stop bleeding. During 
inflammation phase, damaged and dead cells, bacteria and other pathogens or debris are cleaned out by 
white blood cells mediated phagocytosis. Following the inflammation phase, the new tissue starts to grow. 
New blood vessels are formed by vascular endothelial cells. Fibroblasts proliferate, migrate and produce 
extracellular matrix. Meanwhile, keratinocytes also proliferate, migrate and differentiate to form 
epidermis. During this granulation and epithelialization stage, fibroblasts and keratinocytes closely 
interact to grow new tissue. The last stage is the maturation and remodeling where the collagen will 
realign and unnecessary cells will be removed by apoptosis.  
It is well-recognized that fibroblasts are critical for the wound healing. The use of fibroblasts as a 
therapeutic strategy is logical. The fibroblast-containing products, such as Apligraf® and Demagraft®, 
have been approved for treating diabetic foot ulcers. 
Dermagraft® is a cryopreserved three-dimensional dermal substitute containing human neonatal dermal 
fibroblasts growing on a bioabsorbable mesh. The materials secreted from fibroblasts, including human 
dermal collagen, matrix proteins, growth factors, and cytokines help to restore the dermal bed of the 
diabetic foot ulcer and to improve the wound healing. In a randomized, controlled, and multicenter study, 
314 patients with diabetic foot ulcer were randomized to either the Dermagraft® treatment group or 
control (conventional therapy)5. During the 12-week observation period, patients in the treatment group 
received up to 8 weekly application of Dermagraft®. Among those patients, 30.0% (39 of 130) of patients 
with Dermagraft® treatment, comparing to 18.3% (21 of 115) of control patients (P = 0.023), showed

complete wound healing by the end of week 12. Additionally, Dermagraft® group experienced 
significantly fewer ulcer-related adverse events.  
Apligraf® is an allogeneic bio-engineered skin equivalent that contains an upper epidermal layer and a 
lower dermal layer. The epidermal layer is formed by cultured human foreskin-derived neonatal 
keratinocytes while the dermal layer is formed by cultured human foreskin-derived fibroblasts growing in 
bovine type I collagen matrix. Therefore, Apligraf® mimics the normal skin. In the study of Apligraf® for 
diabetic foot ulcer, 208 patients were randomly assigned to either with Apligraf® (112 patients) or saline-
moistened gauze (96 patients, control group)6. Patients had up to 5 weekly application of Apligraft® and 
were followed for 12 weeks. The results showed that 63 (56%) Apligraf®-treated patients achieved 
complete wound healing compared with 36 (38%) in the control group (P = 0.0042) during the 12-week 
follow-up period. The median time to complete closure were 65 days and 90 days for Apligraf®-treated 
group and control group, respectively.  
From the experience above, using fibroblasts to treat diabetic foot ulcers is feasible and also effective. 
TWB-103, developed by Transwell Biotech Co., Ltd., is a mixture of TWB-102 cell and TWB-103 
hydrogel. TWB-102 cell contains live human fetal dermal fibroblasts (FE002-SK2 cells). In the current 
clinical trial for treating donor site wound, to each cm2 of wound about 4 μL of TWB-102 cell product 
(which contains 30,000 FE002-SK2 cells) is applied. The hydrogel is used to dilute and stabilize cells and 
confine the cells within targeted wound area without disturbance to the therapeutic functions of the cells. 
The safety and efficacy of TWB-103 are tested in the following studies. 
Non-Clinical Experience 
Effect of the cellular components of TWB-103 on the migration of primary human keratinocytes 
It is well established that TWB-102 cells stimulate keratinocyte migration in a co-culture system. Assay 
for such effect of TWB-102 cells is routinely conducted as a part of product release testing of TWB-102 
cells. 
Effect of the cellular components of TWB-103 on the proliferation of primary human keratinocytes 
Three studies indicated that live TWB-102 cells, killed/broken TWB-102 cells and mitomycin C-treated 
FE002-SK2 cells were all capable of stimulating keratinocyte proliferation. 
Semi-quantitative array profiling of TWB-102 cell 
The cell extracts from three lots of TWB-102 cell products showed good consistency between lots. All 
three lots of cells contains moderate to high level of receptors for cell growth signals (Axl, gp130, EGFR, 
VEGF R1), adhesion proteins involving cell migration (ALCAM, ICAM-1, VCAM-1), growth factors

(bFGF, BDNF, TGF b1, HGF), modulators of growth factor (Follistatin, IGFBP-3, IGFBP-6, OPG), 
angiogenic factor (ANG-1), inflammatory factor (MIF), and factors which modulate degradation of tissue 
matrix (PAI-1, uPAR, TIMP-1, TIMP-2). Analysis of culture media detected growth factors that were 
present through the interaction of TWB-102 cells and keratinocytes. 
Treating full-thickness wounds in nude rat study with TWB-103 
A GLP study was carried out using TWB-103 product to treat excision wound on nude rats (n=100). On 
the back of each rat a full-thickness excision wound of 12 mm in diameter was created with a biopsy 
puncher. The rats were randomly divided into 3 treatment groups, each group had respectively received 
treatment of nothing (Group 1, sham control, n=40), 0.2 mL of hydrogel (Group 2, gel only, n=20), and 
0.2 mL of hydrogel containing 120,000 TWB-102 cells (Group 3, cell+gel, n=40). After dosing, the 
wound was covered with a piece of TegadermTM and bandaged. All rats were dosed on days 0, 3, 6, and 9. 
Wound healing characterized by epithelialization was similar for all groups. There was no TWB-103-
related abnormality on animals sacrificed on days 10, 21, 28 and 56. The evaluation on the migration and 
persistence of the grafted cells in TWB-103 product suggested that the product cells were effectively 
eliminated after wound healing and did not pose long term risk on treated animals. No human cells or 
DNA were detected in any tissue of any animal examined other than the wound site, suggesting the lack 
of cell migration from wound site to other tissues. 
Treating full-thickness wounds in diabetic pigs with TWB-103 
A porcine study was conducted to evaluate the safety and potential efficacy of TWB-103 for treating 
diabetic wounds. Pigs were injected with streptozotocin (STZ) for induction of hyperglycemia. Six 
wounds were created on the back of each of 4 pigs. The dimension of each wound was L 2cm x W 2cm x 
D 0.5 cm (down to fascia). The wounds were divided into 4 groups which respectively received treatment 
of A. Sham, B. 0.3 mL of TWB-103 hydrogel (no cell), C. TWB-103 hydrogel/46,900 cells/cm2, and D. 
TWB-103 hydrogel/ 93,800 cells/cm2. There were 6 wounds for each treatment group. The wounds were 
dosed on Day 0 (wound creation day), Days 3, 6, 9, and 14. Pigs were sacrificed on Day 34 when wounds 
were almost healed and tissues were cut off from the wounds for histological evaluation. The results 
showed that from Day 6 to Day 16 the healing rates of wounds receiving cell treatment were slightly 
faster than the sham group (but without statistical significance when analyzed by One-way ANOVA). No 
adverse effect was detected. Although the pigs in this study sustained hyperglycemia through the study 
period the wound healing appeared to generally follow normal wound healing course. The pathological 
phenomenon associating with chronic wounds was not apparent in this study.

Clinical Experience 
TWB-103 (6×105 cells/ml) is currently under investigation for its safety and efficacy profile in subjects 
with split-thickness donor site wound. Subjects are recruited from Taiwan and Japan. Subjects can have 
up to 3 applications of TWB-103 (0.05 ml TWB-103 containing 30,000 cells /cm2 of wound area) during 
a 14-day treatment period. TWB-103 is well-tolerant in all subjects up to now. No efficacy data is 
available currently due to blinding. 
 
2.3 
RISK/BENEFIT ASSESSMENT 
2.3.1 
KNOWN POTENTIAL RISKS 
The investigational product, TWB-103, is being proposed as an indication for managing diabetic lower 
limb ulcer in adult to aid the regeneration of functional skin. TWB-103 consists of one frozen vial of 
living allogeneic fibroblasts, and one vial of gelatin-based hydrogel. Given the extensive experience and 
knowledge on gelatin, it is generally recognized as safe by the FDA. The manufacturing process of TWB-
103 has ensured to minimize the potential risk factors and completed extensive tests for those potential 
risk factors. However, as a cell product containing cultured human allogeneic cells and porcine gelatin, 
TWB-103 has the following potential risks which cannot be totally excluded: possible infection 
transmitted from the animal-derived cell culture reagents (bovine pathogens from fetal bovine serum; 
porcine pathogens from porcine trypsin), cells and the skin tissue donor (including Parvovirus B19) or 
acquired during the manufacturing process, immunological reactions leading to rejection to the 
ingredients (including gelatin) or to the residues carried from the manufacturing process (residual fetal 
bovine serum and porcine trypsin) by the recipient, inadequacy wound healing, cell distribution to sites 
distal to the wound beds and induction of systemic toxicity and tumorigenicity.  
Because no antibiotic or other antimicrobial agent was used in any stage of cell production, it is expected 
that TWB-103 has no anti-infection activity. TWB-103 contains rich nutrients which may provide for 
microbial growth. However, with appropriate dressing, so far no incidence of wound infection had 
occurred in any animal studies or ongoing clinical trial.  
Viral safety of the products had been evaluated and ensured at multiple levels which included testing of 
mother donor, examination of fetus, testing of all cell banks, testing of representative batch of product, 
and viral reduction plus testing of manufacturing materials from human and animal sources in compliance 
with international standards.  
To address the tumorigenicity potential of the product, several studies had been conducted which included 
karyotyping to check chromosome stability of the initial donor cells and cells in final product, soft-agar 
assay to check the anchorage-dependence of cell growth, nude-mice study in which cells were

subcutaneously injected according to FDA guidance and nude rat study in which cells were topically 
applied to full-thickness wounds. No sign related to tumorigenicity was detected in any of these studies. 
Regarding immunological responses toTWB-103, neither animal studies (using immune-compromised 
and normal immune animals) nor ongoing clinical study detected any concerning inflammatory or allergic 
responses. 
TWB-103 is well-tolerated in all subjects up to now in the split-thickness donor site wound study. Besides, 
there was no report of immunological reaction, tumorigenicity or malignant transformation, or disease 
transmission resulting from the fetal dermal fibroblasts which were isolated and cultured similarly to 
FE002-SK2 in the compassionate clinical use in Switzerland for more than 15 years.  
 
2.3.2 
KNOWN POTENTIAL BENEFITS 
Chronic wounds are characterized by the wound beds that are poorly vascularized, with decreased cell 
vitality and with imbalanced deposition/degradation of tissue matrix. As the result, granulation is often 
deterred and epithelialization impeded. Fibroblasts are integral part of granulation tissue. They produce 
both matrix components and enzymes for regeneration of the matrix. They also promote vascularization 
by recruiting endothelial cells and stimulating VEGF production. Ultimately, fibroblasts closely interact 
with keratinocytes in the epithelialization process. TWB-103 provides vital fibroblasts which may 
promote wound healing by modulating tissue matrix, enhancing vascularization and promoting 
keratinocyte proliferation and migration. 
 
2.3.3 
ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL RISKS AND BENEFITS 
Because TWB-103 is an allogenic cell product, it may raise concerns of exposing subjects to the short-
term risks such as infection, allergic reaction, as well as the long-term risks like tumorigenicity. However, 
chronic wounds which fail to respond to standard of care may put subjects at risks ranging from wound 
deterioration to amputation. Cell therapy may provide the bioactivity needed for initiating the healing 
process. The manufacturing of TWB-103 is stringently controlled to minimize the contamination of 
microbes and impurities. The product is well tolerated in the animal studies and ongoing clinical trial. 
Considering the proposed efficacy of TWB-103 in speeding wound healing, the benefit of TWB-103 is 
believed to outweigh the risks for subjects with diabetic lower limb ulcer.

STUDY DESIGN 
4.1 
OVERALL DESIGN 
This study is to evaluate if applying TWB-103 on diabetic ulcer wound can speed up the wound healing 
in subjects with diabetic lower limb ulcer which has not shown healing for at least 4-week duration. This 
study is designed in a Phase I/II, single-arm manner. This study plans to enroll 10 subjects (including 8 
evaluable per-protocol subjects) with diabetic lower limb ulcers for treating with up to 12 weekly 
applications of TWB-103 and evaluating the safety and efficacy. 
Eligibility will be checked during screening and at Day 1 Visit. The potential subjects with diabetic lower 
limb ulcer will be arranged to receive standard of care only for at least 2 weeks during screening period. 
The standard of care will be performed at the investigator’s discretion based on the condition of each 
subject. Any subject whose study ulcer size decreases by 30% or more after this standard of care will be 
excluded from the study.  
TWB-103 is applied once a week by the investigator at the study site, starting from Day 1, until wound 
closure is confirmed or up to 12 weekly applications. An ulcer is considered healed only after closure is 
confirmed at the visit 2 weeks later. Therefore, a wound closure should be observed at three consecutive 
visits (i.e. a duration of 2 weeks) for an ulcer to be deemed as healed. For wound closure which is first 
observed at Week 11 or Week 12, and has a confirmation at Week 13 or Week 14, respectively, will be 
considered as a healed wound closure within 12 weeks. If any subject has confirmed wound closure 
before week 12, he/she will stop TWB-103 application and complete assessments of End-of-Treatment 
(Week 12). 
Following the confirmation of wound closure or completion of 12-week treatment period, whichever 
comes first, subjects will start a 24-week follow-up period. Subjects will have follow-up visits at weeks 
13, 14, 16, 20, 24, 30 and 36, if the 12-week treatment period is completed. Those subjects who have 
confirmed wound closure before week 12 will have follow-up visits at 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 
12 weeks, 18 weeks and 24 weeks after the End-of-Treatment Visit. 
If the study wound is not closed after TWB-103 treatment, standard of care will be applied during the 
following 24 weeks of follow-up. If the study wound is healed after TWB-103 treatment, appropriate 
standard of care should still be applied for protection. 
The first 3 subjects will be recruited sequentially with a 3-week staggering in the initiation of study 
treatment. Any subject who experiences ≥ Grade 1 allergic reaction at least possibly related to the 
investigational product (section 8.4.3.2), has > Grade 2 skin infection in the ulcer wound, or the treatment 
for the ulcer wound infection requires subject’s hospitalization, intravenous infusion or muscular injection

of antibiotics, must not receive any further TWB-103 treatment. Additionally, if major surgery 
debridement is required, the subject should stop TWB-103 treatment. The study will be stopped when  3 
subjects received TWB-103 have developed grade 3 or above AEs according to CTCAE 5.0, independent 
of attribution. If the cause of AE can be identified and resolved, the study may be resumed. 
4.2 
SCIENTIFIC RATIONALE FOR STUDY DESIGN 
This study is intended to explore the safety and efficacy of TWB-103 in subjects of diabetic lower limb 
ulcer. As a pilot study, in order to gain bounty clinical experience with few subjects, it is designed as a 
single-arm small scale study. Because of the nature of TWB-103, whose cell part is stored at -70 ~ -80ºC, 
it will be applied to the wound only at the study site by the investigator. Based on the expectation that 
diabetic ulcers usually heal slowly even under advanced therapeutic regimen, subjects are scheduled to 
receive TWB-103 treatment once a week for up to 12 applications. A 24-week follow-up is also required 
to observe long-term safety and to further evaluate the wound healing status. 
 
4.3 
JUSTIFICATION FOR DOSE 
The current cell density in each mL of prepared TWB-103 is 600,000 cells/mL. In the nude rate study, 0.2 
mL of TWB-103 which contained 120,000 cells was applied to each excision wound of 12 mm in 
diameter (~106,200 cells/cm2). This dosage was considered as safe because no significant abnormality 
was observed. In the hyperglycemia porcine wound study, full thickness excision wounds were treated 
with TWB-103 at 45,000 cells/cm2 and 90,000 cells/cm2 wound area. No adverse effect was detected. In 
the ongoing clinical trial donor site wounds have been treated with 0.05 mL of TWB-103 containing 
30,000 cells/cm2 wound area. Considering that donor site wounds have largely intact dermis in which 
substantial number of fibroblasts are present while the diabetic ulcers tend to be deficient of functional 
dermis, the dosage proposed to be used in this study will be 0.15 ml of TWB-103/cm2 wound area, that 
will equal to 90,000 cells/cm2 wound area. Furthermore, considering that there are probably 
200,000~600,000 fibroblasts/cm2 human skin, such dose is thought to be reasonable. 
 
4.4 
END OF STUDY DEFINITION 
A subject is considered to have completed the study if he or she has completed the End-of-Treatment 
Visit (for withdrawal during treatment period) or Week 36 (or 24 weeks after the End-of-Treatment Visit) 
shown in the Schedule of Activities (SOA), Section 1.3. The study is considered completed when all 
subjects are no longer being examined or the last study visit or procedure shown in the SOA of all 
subjects of the study site have be performed.

STUDY INTERVENTION 
6.1 
STUDY INTERVENTION(S) ADMINISTRATION 
6.1.1 
STUDY INTERVENTION DESCRIPTION 
TWB-103 is a mixture of TWB-102 Cell and TWB-103 Hydrogel. TWB-102 Cell is a frozen vial 
containing 0.4 mL of 3x106 human fetal dermal fibroblasts and TWB-103 Hydrogel is a refrigerated glass 
vial containing 6 mL of gelatin-based hydrogel. To prepare for clinical application, TWB-102 Cell vial 
will be warmed to thaw and TWB-103 Hydrogel will be warmed to liquefy. Then cells from one vial will 
be mixed with 4.6 mL of hydrogel in a syringe to result in a 5 mL mixture containing 6105 cells/mL. If 
less than 1 mL of TWB-103 will be applied, the mixture will further be transferred to a 1 mL syringe 
before it starts to thicken.  
 
6.1.2 
DOSING AND ADMINISTRATION 
Dosing 
Each subject will receive TWB-103 weekly up to 12 applications or till confirmed wound closure, 
whichever comes first. TWB-103 is applied to the ulcer at appropriate amount based on the ulcer area. 
The dosage of TWB-103 used in this study is 0.15 ml TWB-103/cm2 of ulcer area. Detailed protocol of 
preparing TWB-103 for clinical application will be provided by study sponsor. 
Before Administration 
(1) Before TWB-103 Treatment starts, the wound dressing and topical drugs used during screen period 
should be removed first. Attention should be paid to viscous substances such as gel or ointment and 
anti-microbial substances because they may interfere with the subsequent TWB-103 treatment by 
conferring physical barrier or cytotoxicity to cells in TWB-103. If such substance has been applied 
previously, the substance should be thoroughly washed off by flushing with sterile saline or wiping 
off with saline-saturated cotton swabs.  
(2) Wound debridement may be performed based on Investigator’s judgment. Epinephrine is allowed for 
reducing bleed. 
(3) When bleeding stops, an OPSITETM transparent film is placed on the wound and the wound area is 
traced on the film. The area of the wound is estimated using the grid pattern on the film. The 
investigator is allowed to perform additional wound measurement with a 3D camera combined with 
software which is capable of estimation of wound dimensions.

(4) Surgical removal of excessive granulation tissue and minor wound debridement are allowed during 
study period. However, such events should be recorded and photo images before and after the 
procedure should be taken. 
Administration 
(1) TWB-103 is pushed from the syringe to the wound. The wound is then covered by TegadermTM 
transparent film. If the wound is positioned in a way that TWB-103 might flow-off easily, a collagen 
wound dressing (provided by Sponsor) can be placed within the wound after TWB-103 administration and 
before covering the wound with the TegadermTM transparent film. It is appropriate that the collagen dressing 
loosely fills the wound after it is applied. Prewetting of the collagen dressing is not suggested since TWB-103 
contains sufficient liquid.  
(2) Then, gauze pad, additional dressings, fixation bandages or sleeves, etc. may be applied over the 
wound for further protection. 
(3) Gauze pad and dressing on top of TegadermTM transparent film should be replaced as frequently as 
needed for good wound care. 
Note: For consistency, only one type of collagen dressings may be used for each patient. “One type of dressings” 
means the dressings under the same medical device approval number by Taiwan Ministry of Health and Welfare 
which normally covers products with various dimensions. The suitable collagen dressings are those which have 
no obvious cytotoxicity and do not physically obstruct the subsequent weekly administration of TWB-103 (the 
bulk of the dressing can be gently removed with saline rinse). The collagen dressings are of bovine or porcine 
origin since only patients non-allergic to bovine or porcine materials are included in this study. 
Self-Care by Patient between Hospital Visits 
Between applications of TWB-103 in hospital, if the transparent film becomes loose or displaced, fluid 
strike-through occurs or the area adhered by the film becomes itchy, the following management is applied: 
(1) The gauze, dressing and TegadermTM transparent film are removed. 
(2) The wound is gently cleaned with gauze moisturized with normal saline, then pat-dried with gauze. 
No effort is required to remove the residual TWB-103 (or the collagen dressing, if it is present) on 
wound bed. 
(3) The wound is applied with appropriate wound dressing following instruction of the investigator (see 
below). No additional TWB-103 is reapplied until next scheduled application. 
(4) Investigator provides instruction for appropriate dressing and sufficient amount of dressing to be 
applied by the subject at home based on the following principles:

 
The dressing maintains the wound at moist condition, e.g. using Mepilex® or Mepilex® Border 
for high exudates wounds and using Mepilex® Border Lite or Mepilex® Lite for low-medium 
exudate wounds. 
 
The dressing is retained on wound by ways that will not cause itchiness or irritation to the 
subject, e.g. by adhesives well tolerable to the subject, by elasticated bandages, such as 
Tubifast®. 
 
The dressing should not stick to the wound bed, to avoid damaging the newly formed tissue. 
 
The dressing should be able to be removed completely with easiness, to avoid interfering with 
subsequent TWB-103 treatment. 
(5) In principle, dressings with anti-microbial activity should not be used for study wounds during TWB-
103 treatment period unless approved by sponsor after consultation. Sponsor’s approval will be based 
on the confirmation that the anti-microbial activity of the dressing is not toxic to human dermal 
fibroblast or keratinocyte. Likewise, the use of topical treatment for infection should also have 
sponsor’s approval. However, systemic treatments (oral administration) to control infection (≤ Grade 
2) are allowed. 
 
6.2 
PREPARATION/HANDLING/STORAGE/ACCOUNTABILITY 
6.2.1 
ACQUISITION AND ACCOUNTABILITY 
The sponsor is responsible for supplying the investigator(s)/study site(s) with the investigational products 
(IP). The IP must not be used for the purposes other than this trial, and the clinical trial pharmacist or 
designated qualified personnel must record the quantity of IP supplied/returned by/to the sponsor to 
maintain clear drug inventory control. Acquisition of IP from pharmacy for clinical administration as well 
as the amount of IP applied to each wound should also be recorded.  
The investigator or designated qualified personnel must retain all unused and leftover IP until the study 
monitor has confirmed accountability data and the sponsor has given instruction for the final handle of the 
IP. Any discrepancy noted will be investigated, resolved, and documented prior to returning or 
destruction of unused study drug. Leftover or unused IP should be returned to the sponsor for destruction 
or be destroyed at the study site according to standard institutional procedures after drug accountability 
has been conducted by the sponsor or representative. 
 
6.2.2 
FORMULATION, APPEARANCE, PACKAGING, AND LABELING 
TWB-103 used in this study will be prepared, packaged, and labeled under the responsibility of a 
qualified person at sponsor with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) of sponsor, Good Tissue Practice 
(GTP) guidelines, International Conference on Harmonization Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP)

6.2.3 
PRODUCT STORAGE AND STABILITY 
Once packaged and stored at -70 ~ -80ºC, TWB-102 Cell has at least 6 months of shelf-life. TWB-102 
cell vials should be directly transferred from dry ice (shipping condition) to a freezer which has been 
validated for maintaining temperature not higher than -70ºC. If no suitable freezer is available, a well- 
insulated container loaded with dry ice can be used. In such case, the TWB-102 cell vial should be fully 
buried within dry ice until use.

Stored at 2~6ºC, the TWB-103 Hydrogel has 12 months of shelf life after manufacturing. TWB-103 
hydrogel vials should be stored in a validated 4ºC refrigerator. The hydrogel is in gel-form at cold 
temperature and the vials can be stored in standing or lying position. 
The two components of TWB-103 are stored separately but will be used together by the bedside. 
 
6.2.4 
PREPERATION 
TWB-103 should be prepared by mixing a vial of TWB-102 cells (0.4 mL) with 4.6 mL of hydrogel in a 5 
mL syringe and let the mixture cool to thicken enough for the convenience of applying it to wound. A 
water-bath set at 37ºC is required for the procedure. Briefly, a hydrogel vial is removed from the 
aluminum pouch and put in a water bath to be warmed to liquefy. When hydrogel is fully liquefied 
(taking about 20 min), a cell product in aluminum pouch is removed from the ultra cold storage (deep 
freezer or dry ice), then the cell vial is immediately removed from the pouch and put in the water bath for 
quick thaw. It usually takes about 80 seconds to thaw the cells. After thaw, the cell solution from one vial 
is drawn into a 5 mL-syringe through an 18-G needle, and then 4.6 mL of hydrogel is drawn into the same 
syringe. The hydrogel and cells are thoroughly mixed in the syringe. If less than one mL of TWB-103 will 
be applied to the wound, the mixture is transferred to 1 mL- syringe through a syringe connector. The 
syringe is then set aside at room temperature until it thickens and convenient to be applied onto the wound. 
If the wound is deep and there is no concern for the IP run-off from wound, the IP need not thicken before 
applied to the wound.  
 
After the cell vial is thawed, the cells should be soon mixed with hydrogel. The maximum time between 
cell-thaw and mixing with hydrogel is 30 minutes. The prepared TWB-103 (i.e. mixture of thawed cells 
and hydrogel) is stable at room temperature (or up to 37ºC) for at least 2 hours, providing adequate 
flexibility of preparation time for the study staff.

MEASURES TO MINIMIZE BIAS: RANDOMIZATION AND 
BLINDING 
As this is an open-label study, no blinding will be used in this study. 
 
6.4 
STUDY INTERVENTION COMPLIANCE 
TWB-103 will be administered at the study site at scheduled visits. Subject’s compliance should not be a 
severe issue. However, the study monitor will assure the subject’s compliance with the study protocol.

- 
Revascularization or other treatment to improve circulation. However, revascularization is 
prohibited during treatment period (Visit 2~Visit 13).  
- 
Maintenance of a moist wound environment. 
- 
Management of wound infection: If the target wound has low grade infection (≤ Grade 2) during 
TWB-103 treatment, whether to stop TWB-103 treatment will be judged by the investigator and 
appropriate treatment to control the infection will be provided at the investigator’s discretion. 
However, if wound is infected (> Grade 2) during TWB-103 treatment or the treatment for the ulcer 
wound infection requires subject’s hospitalization, intravenous infusion or muscular injection of 
antibiotics, TWB-103 treatment must stop and be replaced by appropriate treatment to control the 
infection. 
- 
Wound cleansing 
- 
Good blood glucose control: Considering each subject’s physical and physiological condition, 
“good blood glucose control” is defined as blood glucose level as good as possible with the help of 
physicians. Subjects will have appropriate medication and education to control the blood glucose 
level. The investigator will also monitor subjects’ blood glucose level through the laboratory tests, 
including fasting glucose and HbA1c test results, collected during this study.

7 STUDY INTERVENTION DISCONTINUATION AND SUBJECT 
WITHDRAWAL 
7.1 
STUDY INTERVENTION DISCONTINUATION 
If the target wound has low grade infection (≤ Grade 2) during TWB-103 treatment, TWB-103 treatment 
may continue or discontinue as judged by the investigator and appropriate treatment to control the 
infection will be provided at the investigator’s discretion. However, any subject with > Grade 2 skin 
infection in the ulcer wound, or the treatment for the ulcer wound infection requires subject’s 
hospitalization, intravenous infusion or muscular injection of antibiotics, must not receive any further 
TWB-103 treatment.  
If allergy is judged as likely due to the investigational product, it is dangerous to continue using the 
investigational product. Therefore, any subject who experiences ≥ Grade 1 allergic reaction at least 
possibly related to the investigational product (section 8.4.3.2) must stop TWB-103 immediately. 
During TWB-103 treatment period, if judged by the investigator as appropriate, lesser wound 
debridement is allowed. However, if major surgery is required, the subject should stop TWB-103 
treatment. 
 
7.2

A subject may withdraw voluntarily or involuntarily from the trial due to any of the following conditions: 
1. The subject voluntarily decides to withdraw her/his consent. 
2. The subject’s pregnancy is confirmed after enrollment till last dose of TWB-103. 
3. The subject received or plans to receive any prohibited therapy as defined in section 6.6. 
4. The subject dies or is lost to follow-up. 
5. Any pathological event, clinical adverse event, laboratory abnormality, intercurrent illness, or any 
occurrence or change in the subject’s status giving indication to the investigator that further 
participation in the study may not be the best interest of the subject. 
6. The subject develops > Grade 2 skin infection in the ulcer wound, or the treatment for the ulcer 
wound infection requires subject’s hospitalization, intravenous infusion or muscular injection of 
antibiotics.

9. The study is terminated prematurely by the investigator, research institution, sponsor, IRB/IEC or 
regulatory authorities. 
If the withdrawal is decided during TWB-103 treatment period, the withdrawn subject will be encouraged 
to complete the assessments of Week 12, within 1 week of the withdrawal decision, as End of Study 
(EOS) visit before exiting from the study. Laboratory, pregnancy and PRA tests done within 1 week prior 
to EOS visit are acceptable. 
If the withdrawal is decided in the follow-up period, the withdrawn subject will be encouraged to 
complete the assessments of Week 36, within 2 weeks of the withdrawal decision, as EOS visit before 
exiting from the study.  
The reason for withdrawal must be recorded. If a subject is withdrawn due to an AE, every effort will be 
made to follow the event until event resolves or stabilizes at a level acceptable to the investigator.  
 
7.3 
LOST TO FOLLOW-UP 
A subject will be considered lost to follow-up if he or she fails to return for any scheduled visit and is 
unable to be contacted by the study site staff. 
The following actions must be taken if a subject fails to return to the clinic for a required study visit: 
- 
The site will attempt to contact the subject and reschedule the missed visit within time window and 
counsel the subject on the importance of maintaining the assigned visit schedule and ascertain if the 
subject wishes to and/or should continue in the study. 
- 
Before a subject is deemed lost to follow-up, the investigator or designee will make every effort to 
regain contact with the subject. These contact attempts should be documented in the subject’s 
medical record or study file. 
- 
Should the subject continue to be unreachable, he or she will be considered to have withdrawn from 
the study with a primary reason of lost to follow-up.

STUDY ASSESSMENTS AND PROCEDURES 
8.1 
EFFICACY ASSESSMENTS  
The baseline value of each assessment will be the value assessed closest and prior to the first dose of 
TWB-103. 
 
8.1.1 
ULCER EVALUATION-WOUND SIZE 
The surface area of the ulcer will be estimated in the manner as follows. The ulcer along with an ulcer 
measuring ruler (OPSITETM transparent film) will be photographed. An OPSITETM transparent film will 
be placed on the wound and the wound area is traced on the film. The images will be processed and 
analyzed using the ImageJ software package (National Institutes of Health, 
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/download.html). The ImageJ software read the computed tomographic data and 
calibrated the images automatically. 
Wound closure was defined as “full epithelialization of the wound with the absence of drainage or 
dressing requirement and without sign of abscess under the epithelium”. An ulcer was considered healed 
only after closure was re-confirmed at the visit 2 weeks later. Therefore, a wound closure should be 
observed at three consecutive visits (i.e. a duration of 2 weeks) for an ulcer to be deemed as healed. For 
example, when the wound closure is first observed at Week 8 and subsequently at Week 9 and Week 10, 
the ulcer is “healed”. If the subject misses Week 9 or Week 10 visits or wound closure is not present at 
Weeks 9 and 10, this ulcer is not defined as “healed on week 8”. 
8.1.2 
ULCER EVALUATION-WOUND GRADING 
The grading of ulcer will be performed at screening only as part of the eligibility check according to the 
Wagner Grading System7, which is described below: 
Grade 1: Superficial diabetic ulcer 
Grade 2: Ulcer extension 
1. Involves ligament, tendon, joint capsule or fascia 
2. No abscess or osteomyelitis 
Grade 3: Deep ulcer with abscess or osteomyelitis 
Grade 4: Gangrene to portion of forefoot 
Grade 5: Extensive gangrene of foot

8.1.3 
ULCER EVALUATION-WOUND VOLUME (OPTIONAL) 
The wound volume may be measured by using 3D camera and analysis software, which will be provided 
by the sponsor. 
8.1.4 
ULCER EVALUATION-GRANULATION RATE AND QUALITY OF 
GRANULATION TISSUE 
Granulation rate and quality of granulation tissue will be recorded by comments from the investigator. 
Healthy granulation tissue is pink to red, moist, and shiny. Forming of healthy granulation tissue provides 
foundation for epithelialization and is an indicator of healing. Stalled granulation process often associates 
with prolonged inflammation, lack of vascularization, infection or other abnormalities. Hypergranulation 
may occur during wound healing, which may deter epithelialization. Should it occur, the excessive tissue 
may be trimmed off surgically before administration of TWB-103. Images before and after excision 
should be recorded.  
 
8.2 
SAFETY AND OTHER ASSESSMENTS 
The baseline value of each assessment will be the value assessed closest and prior to the first dose of 
TWB-103. 
 
8.2.1 
INFORM CONSENT 
The investigator must explain to each subject the nature of the study, its purpose, the procedures involved, 
the expected duration, the potential risks involved, and any predicted discomforts. Each subject will be 
informed that participation in the study is voluntary and that he/she can withdraw their participation at 
any time. 
All subjects must provide signed and dated informed consent prior to any study-related procedures. Only 
the Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) or Institutional Review Board (IRB) and the applicable 
regulatory authorities approved ICF can be used. 
 
8.2.2 
SCREENING, ELIGIBILITY, AND ENROLLMENT 
Screening is defined as the process for identifying a candidate for the study and evaluating their eligibility 
to participate. Eligibility should be thoroughly checked by the investigators during screening and at Day 1 
Visit before the application of TWB-103 based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Procedures for 
screening can be done between signing ICF and Day 1. However, procedures should be completed before

the TWB-103 application if performed on Day 1; in this case, the same procedures scheduled for Day 1 
can be waived. The eligibility re-check at Day 1 Visit will be based on the results from Day 1 Visit (vital 
signs and physical exam) and other information collected during screening. A subject is recognized as 
enrolled into the study if this subject consented and is screened, with eligibility verified. 
 
8.2.3 
DEMOGRAPHICS 
Demographic data, including the subject’s birth year, race, and gender, will be recorded at the Screening 
Visit. 
 
8.2.4 
MEDICAL HISTORY 
General medical history within 1 year before Screening Visit and malignancy on a life time basis should 
be recorded at Screening Visit. The history of diabetic lower limb ulcer for the lifetime base will be 
recorded in the “diabetic lower limb ulcer” part of the CRF, separately. All history recorded will include 
date of onset, diagnosis and current status. 
 
8.2.5 
LABORATORY, PREGNANCY AND PANEL REACTIVE ANTIBODY 
TESTS 
Laboratory tests to be measured in this study will consist of the followings: 
- 
Hematology: hemoglobin, hematocrit, RBC, platelet, and WBC with differential counts, ANC 
- 
Biochemistry: total bilirubin, ALT, AST, fasting glucose, HbA1c, serum albumin, blood urea 
nitrogen (BUN), and serum creatinine 
Laboratory and pregnancy tests performed within 1 week prior to Week 5 Visit, or within 1 week prior to 
Week 12 or End-of-Treatment visit, are acceptable. 
Pregnancy tests can be done with serum or urine. Pregnancy tests can be waived if the female subject has 
menopausal for over 1 year, total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy or other clinical 
condition that completely eliminates childbearing potential, confirmed by the investigator.  
For panel reactive antibody (PRA) test, all patients will be tested with class I human leukocyte antigen 
(HLA). PRA test performed within 1 week prior to Week 12 or End-of-Treatment visit, are acceptable. 
When withdrawal occurs during TWB-103 treatment period, laboratory, pregnancy and PRA tests done 
within 1 week prior to EOS visit are acceptable.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION, HEIGHT, AND WEIGHT 
Height and weight will be collected at Screening Visit only. 
Physical examination conducted in this study will include general appearance, skin, eyes, ears, nose, 
throat, head and neck, heart, chest and lungs, abdomen, extremities, lymph nodes, musculoskeletal, 
neurological, etc.  
 
8.2.7 
VITAL SIGNS 
Vital signs measurement will consist of systolic/diastolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, pulse rate or 
heart rate, and body temperature. Respiratory rate, pulse/heart rate and blood pressure (systolic/diastolic) 
will be obtained after the subject has been at rest for at least 5 minutes in a sitting position.  
 
8.2.8 
ANKLE BRACHIAL INDEX 
The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is the ratio of the blood pressure at the ankle to the blood pressure in the 
upper arm. The ABI is calculated by dividing the systolic blood pressure at the ankle by the systolic blood 
pressure in the arm.  
 
8.2.9 
STANDARD OF CARE 
The choice of standard-of-care will be at investigator’s discretion based on the physical condition of the 
subject. Subjects will receive standard of care for at least two weeks during screening as part of the 
eligibility check. If required, the investigator can provide standard of care to the subject during the TWB-
103 treatment period. However, revascularization is prohibited during treatment period (Visit 2~Visit 13). 
The investigator will also provide standard of care to subjects in the follow-up period as a protection for 
subjects who have confirmed wound healing or as a treatment for those still have open wound. Refer to 
section 6.7 for details of standard of care. 
 
8.2.10 
ASSESSMENT OF ADVERSE EVENT 
All AEs will be assessed for severity by the study investigator based on National Cancer Institute 
Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) 5.0. Further, the investigator has to 
judge if the AE is IP (TWB-103)-related. Refer to section 8.4 for details of AE definition and reporting.

ADVERSE EVENTS AND SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS 
8.4.1 
DEFINITION OF ADVERSE EVENTS (AE) 
Based on ICH GCP, adverse event (AE) means any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical 
investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product or intervention and which does not 
necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An adverse event (AE) can therefore be any 
unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease 
temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product/intervention, whether or not 
related to the medicinal (investigational) product/intervention. 
Pre-existing abnormalities are considered as AE only when the conditions escalate.

42 of 58  
Increment in wound size by 30% comparing to baseline should be reported as an AE irrespective of 
causality to the investigational products.  
 
8.4.2 
DEFINITION OF SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS (SAE)  
An adverse event (AE) or suspected adverse reaction is considered "serious" if, in the view of either the 
investigator or sponsor, it results in any of the following outcomes (based on ICH GCP): 
- 
Death 
- 
Is life-threatening 
- 
Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
- 
Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity 
- 
Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
- 
Based upon appropriate medical judgment, the event may jeopardize the subject and may require 
medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above 
 
8.4.3 
CLASSIFICATION OF AN ADVERSE EVENT 
8.4.3.1 
Severity of Event 
All AEs will be assessed for severity by the study investigator using the following guidelines (based on 
NCI-CTCAE 5.0): 
- 
Grade 1 (Mild): Asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; 
intervention not indicated 
- 
Grade 2 (Moderate): Minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age-appropriate 
instrumental ADL* 
- 
Grade 3 (Severe): Hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting 
self-care ADL** 
- 
Grade 4 (Life threatening): Urgent intervention indicated 
- 
Grade 5 (Death): Death 
*Instrumental ADL refer to preparing meals, shopping for groceries or clothes, using the telephone, 
managing money, etc. 
**Self-care ADL refer to bathing, dressing and undressing, feeding self, using the toilet, taking 
medications, and not bedridden.

8.4.3.2 
Relationship to Study Intervention 
All adverse events (AEs) must have their relationship to study product assessed by the investigator who 
examines and evaluates the subject based on temporal relationship and his/her clinical judgment. The 
degree of certainty about causality will be graded using the categories below. In a clinical trial, the study 
product must always be suspect. 
- 
Definitely Related: There is clear evidence to suggest a causal relationship, and other possible 
contributing factors can be ruled out. The clinical event, including an abnormal laboratory test result, 
occurs in a plausible time relationship to study agent/intervention administration and cannot be 
explained by concurrent disease or other drugs or chemicals. The response to withdrawal of the 
study agent/intervention (dechallenge) should be clinically plausible. The event must be 
pharmacologically or phenomenologically definitive, with use of a satisfactory rechallenge 
procedure if necessary. 
- 
Probably Related: There is evidence to suggest a causal relationship, and the influence of other 
factors is unlikely. The clinical event, including an abnormal laboratory test result, occurs within a 
reasonable time sequence to administration of the study agent/intervention, is unlikely to be 
attributed to concurrent disease or other drugs or chemicals, and follows a clinically reasonable 
response on withdrawal (dechallenge). Rechallenge information is not required to fulfill this 
definition.  
- 
Possibly/Potentially Related: There is some evidence to suggest a causal relationship (e.g., the event 
occurred within a reasonable time after administration of the trial medication). However, the 
influence of other factors may have contributed to the event (e.g., the subject’s clinical condition, 
other concomitant events). Although an adverse drug event may rate only as “possibly related” soon 
after discovery, it can be flagged as requiring more information and later be upgraded to “probably 
related” or “definitely related”, as appropriate.  
- 
Unlikely to be related: A clinical event, including an abnormal laboratory test result, whose 
temporal relationship to study intervention administration makes a causal relationship improbable 
(e.g., the event did not occur within a reasonable time after administration of the investigational 
product) and in which other drugs or chemicals or underlying disease provides plausible 
explanations (e.g., the subject’s clinical condition, other concomitant treatments).  
- 
Not related: The AE is completely independent of study agent/intervention administration, and/or 
evidence exists that the event is definitely related to another etiology. There must be an alternative, 
definitive etiology documented by the investigator.

8.4.3.3 
Expectedness 
Sponsor and investigators will be responsible for determining whether an AE is expected or unexpected. 
An AE is considered "unexpected" if it is not listed in the investigator’s brochure (IB), package insert, or 
is not listed at the specificity or severity that has been observed; or, if an IB is not required or available, is 
not consistent with the risk information described in the protocol, as amended.  
Expected adverse reactions are AEs that are known to occur for the study intervention being studied and 
should be collected in a standard, systematic format using a grading scale based on functional assessment 
or magnitude of reaction. IB will be the source of the reference safety information used to determine the 
expectedness of the AE. Expectedness is assessed based on the awareness of AEs previously observed, 
not on the basis of what might be anticipated from the properties of the study intervention. 
 
8.4.4 
ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING 
AEs may be volunteered spontaneously by the study subject, discovered as a result of general questioning 
by the study staff, or determined by physical examination. All AEs will be recorded on the CRF. For all 
AEs, the investigator must pursue and obtain adequate information both to determine the outcome of the 
AE and to assess whether it meets the criteria for classification as a serious AE requiring immediate 
notification. Follow-up of the AE, even after the date of study drug discontinuation, is required if the AE 
persists. 
 
8.4.5 
SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING  
The investigator will report to the sponsor/CRO contact any SAE within 24 hours of the investigator's 
knowledge of the event, regardless of the expectedness and causality to the study intervention. The 
reporting of the SAE to the regulatory authorities/IEC/IRB will comply with the local regulations and 
requirements. 
Nevertheless, the following events will not be reported as a SAE:  
• 
Hospitalization due to social reasons in absence of an adverse event  
• 
Hospitalization due to surgery or procedure planned before entry into the study (must be documented 
in the CRF) 
All SAEs will be followed until satisfactory resolution or until the site investigator deems the event to be 
chronic or the subject is stable. Other supporting documentation of the event may be requested by sponsor 
and should be provided as soon as possible. 
The sponsor/CRO will be responsible for notifying the regulatory authorities of any unexpected fatal or 
life-threatening suspected adverse reaction as soon as possible, but in no case later than 7 calendar days 
after first acknowledged by the Sponsor. A complete report should be provided within 15 calendars by

sponsor’s acknowledgement and must include an assessment of the importance and implication of the 
findings and/or previous experience on the same or similar medical products. 
Serious, unexpected suspected adverse reactions that are not fatal or life-threatening must be filed as soon 
as possible but no later than 15 calendar days after first knowledge by the sponsor that a case qualifies. 
 
8.4.6 
PREGNANCY REPORTING  
Any patient or patient’s partner who becomes pregnant during the treatment period should be recorded 
and the information regarding this pregnancy should be collected. Any pregnancy occurs during the 30 
days following the last dose of investigational product should also be reported and accompanied 
information should also be collected. When female patient or male patient’s partner suspects a pregnancy 
during the treatment period or within 30 days of the last dose, a pregnancy test should be conducted. Once 
pregnancy is confirmed, the patient should stop the administration of investigation product immediately, 
if patient is still during the treatment period. The pregnancy should be reported to the sponsor using the 
pregnancy report form. The Obstetrician/Gynecologist of the female patient or male patient’s partner 
should be notified the trial information. Because information of specific tests regarding this 
investigational product is not clear yet, whenever possible, a pregnancy should be followed to term or to 
any premature terminations reported. Additionally, the status of the mother and child should be reported 
to the sponsor after delivery. Although pregnancy occurring during the trial is not considered as an 
adverse event, any pregnancy complications should be recorded as AEs or SAEs.

The baseline value of each assessment will be the value assessed closest and prior to 1st application of 
TWB-103. 
Descriptive statistics will be provided for all endpoints. 
Continuous variables will be summarized by reporting the number of observations, mean, standard 
deviation, median, interquartile range (IQR = third quartile (Q3) - first quartile (Q1)), Q1, Q3, minimum 
and maximum. 
Categorical variables will be summarized using frequency tables showing the number and percentage of 
subjects within a particular category. 
Ordinal endpoints will be presented by transition tables. 
Healing time from baseline to wound closure will be estimated by using Kaplan-Meier method. 
The data changes from baseline value will be analyzed by one-sample t-test or Wilcoxon sign rank test. 
The baseline value of each assessment will be the value assessed closest and prior to 1st application of 
TWB-103. The Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method will be applied for dealing missing 
data of the efficacy endpoints. 
All comparisons will be conducted with significance level of 0.05, using 2-tailed tests where 95% 
confidence interval for difference and corresponding p-value will be presented. 
 
9.4.2 
ANALYSIS OF THE PRIMARY ENDPOINT 
Adverse events observed during the study will be coded using Medical Dictionary for Regulatory 
Activities (MedDRA) and will be reported by System/Organ/Class (SOC) classified in MedDRA as 
appropriate.  
 
9.4.3 
ANALYSIS OF THE SECONDARY ENDPOINTS 
For changes of wound area and (if data available) wound volume measured by 3D camera from the 
baseline values, data will be analyzed by using one-sample t-test or Wilcoxon sign rank test on ITT and 
PP population.  
 
9.4.4 
SAFETY ANALYSES 
Adverse events will be coded by employing MedDRA. Each AE will be counted once only for a given 
subject. Severity, frequency, and relationship of AEs to study intervention will be presented by System 
Organ Class (SOC) and preferred term groupings. The information of AEs, such as start date, stop date,

REGULATORY, ETHICAL, AND STUDY OVERSIGHT 
CONSIDERATIONS 
10.1.1 
INFORMED CONSENT PROCESS 
Consent forms describing in detail the study intervention, study procedures, and risks are given to the 
subject and written documentation of informed consent is required prior to starting intervention or 
administering study intervention. Different Informed Consent Forms (ICFs) subject to regulations and 
guidelines applicable to clinical studies of local countries and IRB/IEC requirements are submitted to 
regulatory authorities and IRBs/IECs, respectively, for approval. 
In obtaining and documenting informed consent, the investigator must comply with regulations and 
guidelines applicable to clinical studies of local countries and IRB/IEC requirements and should adhere to 
International Conference on Harmonization Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP). Prior to the beginning of 
the trial, the investigator should have the IRB/IEC’s written approval for the protocol and the written 
informed consent form(s) and any other written information to be provided to the subjects. A separate 
screening consent will not be used for this study. The study consent must be signed prior to conducting 
study screening procedures. 
Informed consent is a process that is initiated prior to the individual’s agreeing to participate in the study 
and continues throughout the subject’s study participation. Consent forms will be IRB/IEC-approved and 
the subject will be asked to read and review the document. The investigator will explain the study to the 
subject and answer any questions that may arise. A verbal explanation will be provided in terms suited to 
the subject’s comprehension of the purposes, procedures, and potential risks of the study and of their 
rights as subjects. Subjects will have the opportunity to carefully review the written consent form and ask 
questions prior to signing. The subjects should have the opportunity to discuss the study with their family 
or surrogates or think about it prior to agreeing to participate. The subject will sign the informed consent 
document prior to any procedures being done specifically for the study. Subjects must be informed that 
participation is voluntary and that they may withdraw from the study at any time, without prejudice. A 
copy of the signed informed consent document will be given to the subjects for their records. The 
informed consent process will be conducted and documented in the source document (including the date) 
and the ICF will be signed before the subject undergoes any study-specific procedures. The rights and 
welfare of the subjects will be protected by emphasizing to them that the quality of their medical care will 
not be adversely affected if they decline to participate in this study.

STUDY DISCONTINUATION AND CLOSURE 
This study may be temporarily suspended or prematurely terminated if there is sufficient reasonable cause. 
Written notification, documenting the reason for study suspension or termination, will be provided by the 
suspending or terminating party to subjects, investigator, the sponsor/CRO and regulatory authorities, 
whichever is applicable. If the study is prematurely terminated or suspended, the Principal Investigators 
(PIs) will promptly inform subjects, the IRB/IEC, and sponsor/ contract research organization (CRO), 
whichever is applicable and will provide the reason(s) for the termination or suspension. Subjects will be 
contacted, as applicable, and be informed of changes to study visit schedule. 
Circumstances that may warrant termination or suspension include, but are not limited to: 
- 
Determination of unexpected, significant, or unacceptable risk to subjects, i.e.  3 subjects received 
TWB-103 have developed grade 3 or above AEs according to CTCAE 5.0, independent of 
attribution. If the cause of AE can be identified and resolved, the study may be resumed. 
- 
Demonstration of efficacy that would warrant stopping 
- 
Insufficient compliance to protocol requirements 
- 
Data that are not sufficiently complete and/or evaluable 
- 
Determination that the primary endpoint has been met 
- 
Determination of futility 
The study may resume once concerns about safety, protocol compliance, and data quality are addressed, 
and satisfy the sponsor, IRBs/IECs and/or regulatory authorities. 
 
10.1.3 
CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVACY  
Subject confidentiality and privacy is strictly held in trust by the participating investigators, their staff, 
and the sponsor/CRO. This confidentiality is extended to cover testing of biological samples and genetic 
tests in addition to the clinical information relating to subjects. Therefore, the study protocol, 
documentation, data, and all other information generated will be held in strict confidentiality. No 
information concerning the study or the data will be released to any unauthorized third party without prior 
written approval of the sponsor. 
All activities will be conducted in as private a setting as possible. 
The study monitor, other authorized representatives of the sponsor, representatives of the IRB/IEC, or 
regulatory authorities may inspect documents and records required to be maintained by the investigator, 
including but not limited to, medical records (office, clinic, or hospital) and pharmacy records for the 
subjects in this study. The clinical study site will permit access to such records.

The subject’s contact information will be securely stored at each clinical site for internal use during the 
study. At the end of the study, all records will continue to be kept in a secure location for as long a period 
as dictated by the reviewing IRB/IEC, policies of regulatory authorities, or sponsor requirements. 
Subject data, which is for purposes of statistical analysis and scientific reporting, will be transmitted to 
and stored at the responsible CRO. This will not include the subject’s contact or identifying information. 
Rather, individual subjects and their data will be identified by a unique study identification number. The 
study data entry and study management systems used by clinical sites and by responsible CRO staff will 
be secured and password protected. 
 
10.1.4 
FUTURE USE OF STORED SPECIMENS AND DATA  
Data collected for this study will be analyzed and stored at the responsible CRO. After the study is 
completed, the archived data will be stored at CRO and transmitted to the sponsor. Future use of the 
archived data will need the permission of the sponsor. Data will not be removed if the subject is 
withdrawn. 
The biological samples collected will be used only under the scope of this clinical study. Once the 
completion of analysis, the biological samples will be destroyed following the regulations and guidelines 
of each study site.

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL 
Each clinical site will perform internal quality management of study conduct, data and biological 
specimen collection, documentation and completion. 
Quality control (QC) procedures will be implemented on the data entry system and data QC checks that 
will be run on the database will be generated. Any missing data or data anomalies will be communicated 
to the site(s) for clarification/resolution. 
Following written Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), the monitors will verify that the clinical trial is 
conducted and data are generated and biological specimens are collected, documented (recorded), and 
reported in compliance with the protocol, ICH GCP, and applicable regulatory requirements (e.g., Good 
Laboratory Practices (GLP), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)). 
The investigational site will provide direct access to all trial related source data/documents, and reports 
for the purpose of monitoring and auditing by the sponsor, and inspection by local and regulatory 
authorities.

will be recorded/entered directly from the source documents. 
 
10.1.9.2 STUDY RECORDS RETENTION  
Study documents should be retained for a period complying with regulations and guidelines applicable to 
clinical studies of local countries after the last approval of a marketing application and until there are no 
pending or contemplated marketing applications or until a period complying with regulations and 
guidelines applicable to clinical studies of local countries have elapsed since the formal discontinuation of 
clinical development of the study intervention. No records will be destroyed without the written consent 
of the sponsor, if applicable. It is the responsibility of the sponsor to inform the investigator when these 
documents no longer need to be retained. 
 
10.1.10 
PROTOCOL DEVIATIONS  
A protocol deviation is any noncompliance with the clinical trial protocol or ICH GCP, requirements. The 
noncompliance may be either on the part of the subject, the investigator, or the study site staff. As a result 
of deviations, corrective actions are to be developed by the site and implemented promptly. 
These practices are consistent with ICH GCP: 
- 
4.5 Compliance with Protocol, sections 4.5.1, 4.5.2, and 4.5.3 
- 
5.1 Quality Assurance and Quality Control, section 5.1.1 
- 
5.20 Noncompliance, sections 5.20.1, and 5.20.2.  
It is the responsibility of the site investigator to use continuous vigilance to identify and report deviations 
following the regulatory requirements of health authorities and IRB/IEC. All deviations must be sent to 
the reviewing IRB/IEC per their policies. The site investigator is responsible for knowing and adhering to 
the reviewing IRB/IEC requirements.
