| Main Objective: Investigation of clinical efficacy of DermaPro® after administration into the unhealing, open diabetic wounds characterised by reduction of wound area after 30, 60 and 90 days of treatment, time from onset of treatment until healing e.g. wound area covered entirely with connective tissue;Secondary Objective: Characterisation of safety of DermaPro® considering Adverse Events, laboratory parameters and vital signs Characterisation of subjective symptoms using visual analogue scores (VAS) for pain, itching, and well-being Evaluation of subjective clinical symptoms (prickling, heat sensation, cold sensation, numbness, furry feeling, smell, exudation) Investigation of clinical efficacy of DermaPro® concerning reduction of wound depth and wound volume during treatment Investigation of clinical efficacy of DermaPro® in terms of fractions of patients with 50% reduced wound area after 30, 60 and 90 days of treatment;Primary end point(s): Reduction of wound area after 30, 60, and 90 days of treatment in %, descriptive statistics (arithmetic and geometric means, CV, medians, min, max, SD) Time from start of treatment to entire closure of wound (arithmetic and geometric means, CV, medians, min, max, SD) Analysis of primary variables in terms of treatment effect is performed using mixed models (ANCOVA) including baseline covariate and addressing repeated measures by simple covariance patterns | — |
