Brief summary:
Trafermin is a recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF; original development code, KCB-1), which is manufactured by genetic engineering using Escherichia coli by Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan). Trafermin 0.01% cutaneous spray product kit consisting of a glass bottle containing lyophilized trafermin, a glass bottle with solvent for solution and a spray part to fit the glass bottle after reconstitution of the final product.

We conduct a multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel-group, multicentre study consisting of a placebo run-in phase (2w), a treatment phase (max. 12w) and a follow-up phase (3mo+6mo). The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate a superior wound closure rate of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) of neuropathic origin after a maximum of 12 weeks topical daily application of trafermin 0.01% spray compared with placebo, in addition to best local care (off-loading, dressings). Approximately 210 patients will be randomized and it is planned that this study will be conducted at approximately 40 investigational sites in Europe.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: None arm 2: None

Interventions: intervention 1: Trafermin 0.01% spray
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: For ulcers with a maximum diameter (longest axis) of less or equal to 6 cm, the daily dose of trafermin 0.01% spray is 5 puffs (30 microgram) sprayed onto the wound surface. If the maximum diameter (longest axis) of the ulcer is \>6 cm, the ulcer should be sprayed in two parts, i.e. 5 puffs (30 microgram) sprayed onto each half of the wound surface
