The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CSTC1 in patient with diabetic foot ulcers.
This study was designed as a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, multiple-center, and parallel trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CSTC1 in patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). In each study site, eligible patients were randomized in a 4:1 ratio to receive either one of the topical applications of CSTC1 or CSTC1 matched vehicle, topical application on target diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), 2 times daily. The treatment duration for each subject was 12 weeks or up to confirmed complete ulcer closure, whichever comes first. That was, subjects would receive treatment for at most 12 weeks, which consists of 8 visits located at weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. Subjects who achieved confirmed complete ulcer closure during the treatment period would be arranged for a 12 week post-treatment follow-up. Subjects failed to achieve complete ulcer closure at week-12 visit would be arranged for 4 weeks of safety follow-up. If confirmation of complete ulcer closure was reached at a week-14 visit, the subject would continue the post-treatment follow-up visit until week-24 visit. Otherwise, the subject would be arranged for safety follow-up until week-16 visit.

Number of Participants With Complete Ulcer Closure During the Treatment Period
Complete ulcer closure is defined as 100% skin re-epithelialization without drainage or dressing requirements confirmed at the coming visits 2 weeks apart. The treatment period is until 12 weeks or up to confirmation of complete ulcer closure. Subjects with complete ulcer closure at Week 12 and confirmed at Week 14 were considered as success.
Time frame: Baseline to 14 weeks
The Ulcer Closure Time
Defined as the time to complete ulcer closure.
Time frame: 24 weeks
The Accumulated Participant Counts With Complete Ulcer Closure
Complete ulcer closure is defined as 100% skin re-epithelialization without drainage or dressing requirements observed for at the last two consecutive study visits 2 weeks apart. The count of participants with complete ulcer closure at each post-treatment visit is provided.
Time frame: 24 weeks
Percentage Change in Ulcer Size for Each Post-treatment Visit
The proportion of ulcer closure is calculated as (Ulcer size at post-treatment visit - Ulcer size at baseline)/(Ulcer size at baseline). This proportion was then multiplied by 100 to calculate the percentage change in ulcer size for each post-treatment visit. The percentage change in ulcer size for each post-treatment visit are presented.
Time frame: baseline and 24 weeks
