Thrombin and thrombin peptides play a role in initiating tissue repair. The potential safety and efficacy of TP508 (Chrysalin) treatment of diabetic foot ulcers was evaluated in a 60-subject, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase I/II clinical trial. Chrysalin in saline or saline alone was applied topically, twice weekly, to diabetic ulcers with standardized care and offloading. A dose-dependent effect was seen in the per-protocol population where 1 and 10 mug Chrysalin treatment resulted in 45 and 72% more subjects with complete healing than placebo treatment. Chrysalin treatment of foot ulcers more than doubled the incidence of complete healing (p<0.05), increased mean closure rate approximately 80% (p<0.05), and decreased the median time to 100% closure by approximately 40% (p<0.05). Chrysalin treatment of heel ulcers within this population resulted in mean closure rates 165% higher than placebos (p<0.02) and complete healing in 86% (6/7) of ulcers compared with 0% (0/5) of placebo ulcers (p<0.03). Local wound reactions and adverse events (AEs) were equal between groups with no reported drug-related changes in laboratory tests or serious AEs. These results indicate the potential safety and efficacy of Chrysalin for treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.
