Inclusion Criteria:

1. Between 18 years and 80 years of age inclusive, as of the date of screening
2. Confirmed diagnosis of Type I or Type II Diabetes
3. An Index Ulcer defined as chronic (presence of wound for > 4 weeks) but not present for more than 52 weeks at the Screening Visit
4. Index Ulcer is located below the malleoli on the plantar or dorsal surface of the foot
5. The Index Ulcer is between 1cm2 and 15 cm2 at the Screening Visit
6. The Index Ulcer extends into the dermis or subcutaneous tissue without evidence of exposed muscle, tendon, bone, or joint capsule
7. Wound is free of necrotic debris

8. Patient has adequate circulation to the foot as documented by either:

   • Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) > 0.70 and < 1.30, or
   • In patients with non-compressible ankle vessels defined as an ABI ≥ 1.30, a Toe Brachial Index (TBI) ≥ 0.50
   • In patients with non-compressible ankle vessels defined as an ABI ≥ 1.30 and TBI cannot be performed (e.g., toe is absent, wounds are present, or site cannot perform a TBI), a Doppler waveform in the posterior tibial or dorsalis pedis arteries at the ankle consistent with adequate flow in the foot (biphasic or triphasic) and other diagnostic confirmation of adequate flow (e.g., duplex imaging, normal pulse volume recording [PVR] testing).

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Index Ulcer is of non-diabetic pathophysiology
2. Gangrene is present on any part of the affected foot

12. Current evidence of osteomyelitis, cellulitis, or other evidence of infection including fever or pus drainage from the wound site
13. Patient has active malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer
14. Patient's Index Ulcer has decreased by ≥ 30% during 1-week screening period as determined by criteria provided by the Wound Core Lab
15. Patient's random blood sugar is > 450 mg/dl at screening

19. Patient has allergy to primary or secondary dressing materials used in this trial
20. Patient has had within the last 30 days, or is currently undergoing, or is planning for wound treatments with enzymes, growth factors, living skin, dermal substitutes or other advanced biological therapies
