| Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a single, topical dose of G.68.Ã?Â?Ã?³/EtOH (0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%) compared to placebo immediately after photoactivation with red light in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes with infected grade 2 foot ulcers, as measured by reduction in ulcer bacterial load.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate at Day 3, Day 8 and Day 15, the maintenance of efficacy, and the safety and tolerability of a single, topical dose of G.68.y/EtOH (0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5% w/w) after photoactivation with red light compared to placebo, in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes with infected grade 2 foot ulcers.;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint is the reduction in the ulcer bacterial load between pre-treatment (baseline) and immediately after illumination on Day 1 (Visit 0 or Visit 1) as measured by an ulcer sample drawn with a flocked nylon swab.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 1: pre-treatment (baseline) and immediately after illumination | — |
