5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of the current Study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of Galnobax® plus Standard of Care versus only Standard of Care, in treating Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU). In addition, Study is designed to investigate the safety of Galnobax® vehicle for establishing non-deleterious effects of Vehicle on wound healing in the Subjects with DFU. The study is being conducted in 350 subjects being recruited in about 30 centers in India.
Detailed Description
The current study is a Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of a Gel Formulation of Esmolol Hydrochloride (Galnobax®) in Treating Diabetic Foot Ulcers.
