Brief Summary

This is a Phase 2b,double-blinded, randomised, placebo-controlled, multicentre study to determinethe safety and efficacy of TP-102, in patients with DFI.

A minimum of 80 (Eighty) patients (maximum of 96(Ninety-six)) with an infected DFU and with at least one target bacterialstrain (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus or Acinetobacterbaumannii) susceptible to TP-102, causing the infection as determined from theculture taken from the target ulcer at screening visit, will be included within10 days from screening.

Patients will be randomlyassigned in a 1:1 ratio to one of two treatments arms (TP-102 or Placebo) atDay 1. The wound SoC procedures are in accordance to each sites normal DFIroutine. Patients will be treated with a total of 12 treatments in 28 days (+3days) with at least one day of interval in between the days of treatment(consecutive days of treatment are not allowed) and a maximum of 3 (three) dayswithout treatment.

After completing treatment, patients will return forscheduled Follow-Up (FU) visits: 15 (FU1) and 60 (FU2) days after the last IPadministration.

Assessments for efficacy andsafety will include concomitant medications and AEs/AESI/SAE, physicalexamination, vital signs, clinical laboratory tests, target ulcer assessment(size, depth, volume, granulation, IWGDF-ISDA and PEDIS infectionclassification and DFUWI score), and wound biopsy (swab only as indicated) todetermine the presence and speciation of bacteria.

As part of the DSMB, adedicated, independent Adaptive Committee, exclusive of the SRC, will reviewsafety data and infectivity scoring and may recommend enrichment of the activearm where SAEs indicate that Placebo + SoC is significantly failing.

In this phase 2, PoC study, theprimary objectives are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TP-102 asmeasured by TEAEs compared to Placebo and reduction of wound infection(IWGDF/ISDA and PEDIS infection classification and DFUWI score) and woundsurface by topically applied TP-102 in addition to SoC in DFIs. The reductionof wound surface will be evaluated as a prognostic indicator of complete woundhealing at 3 months after treatment with IP since wound healing depends onseveral factors that go beyond the infection reduction/ eradication.
