Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Diabetic Foot Ulcer | Drug: Esmolol Hydrochloride Other: Only Standard of Care Other: Vehicle Gel | Phase 3 |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 350 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel groups |
Masking: | Triple (Participant, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor) |
Masking Description: | The subject will be masked from the treatment by the Study Nurse (care giver) by using blinder during each treatment application. The site has two separate teams (blinded and unblinded) for masking. The unblinded investigator performs application of treatment during each treatment visit of subject to the site. |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of a Gel Formulation of Esmolol Hydrochloride (Galnobax®) in Treating Diabetic Foot Ulcers |
Actual Study Start Date : | December 26, 2018 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | June 30, 2020 |
