Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome measure will be the rate of wound size reduction at 4 weeks after the first treatment compared with pre-treatment wound size.Timepoint: The safety of SEPIL topical treatment will be evaluated during the treatment period (28 days) every 7 days and post-treatment (30 days) according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (version 5.0).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Additionally, the following secondary endpoints will be measured at 4 weeks after the first treatment and compared with pre-treatment status: time to wound closure; 50% wound size reduction ratio; quantification of Gram-negatives- Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter, Klebsiella, Escherichia coli and others; Gram-positives -Staphylococcus aureus (includingmethicillin resistant S. aureus, MRSA), Streptococcus pyogenes; and overall evaluated ulcer improvement.Timepoint: Secondary endpoints will be measured at 4 weeks after the first treatment and compared with pre-treatment status
