A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel, exploratory phase 2a study to evaluate safety and biologic efficacy on wound healing of ILP100-Topical in subjects with diabetic foot ulcers during 26 weeks with a 5-year long-term follow-up period. A total of 30 subjects will be randomized to low dose of ILP100-Topical (ILP100Lo), high dose of ILP100-Topical (ILP100Hi) or Placebo according to a 1:1:1 randomization schedule. The study will consist of a 3-weeks Screening and Run-in Phase, followed by a 5-week Treatment Phase starting from Baseline and an Assessment Phase from Week 5 to Week 26. Thereafter, the subjects will be followed yearly during 5 years in a Long-Term Safety Follow-up Phase.

Compare incidence of adverse events (AEs) between treatment groups
The incidence of AEs up to Week 26 will be presented for each treatment group and by category, causality, severity and frequency.
Time frame: Compare between the ILP100-Topical and Placebo treatment arms up to Week 26.
Compare incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs) between treatment groups
The incidence of SAEs up to Week 26 will be presented for each treatment group and by category, causality, severity and frequency.
Time frame: Compare between the ILP100-Topical and Placebo treatment arms up to Week 26.
Local tolerability by Investigator's assessment
Local tolerance to treatment will be assessed by the Investigator. Wound tolerability parameters will be presented in categories of appearance of inflammation, amount of exudate present, hemorrhage, presence of slough/necrotic tissue, presence of granulation tissue and hypergranulation.
Time frame: Compare Investigator's local tolerability assessments up to Week 26 between the ILP100-Topical and Placebo treatment arms.
Local tolerability by Independent Assessor's assessment
Local tolerance to treatment will be assessed by the Independent Assessor. Wound tolerability parameters will be presented in categories of appearance of inflammation, amount of exudate present, hemorrhage, presence of slough/necrotic tissue, presence of granulation tissue and hypergranulation.
Time frame: Compare local tolerability up to Week 26 between the ILP100-Topical and Placebo treatment arms.
Proportion of subjects with a local tolerability parameter Grade ≥ 2 per Investigator's Assessment
The proportion of subjects with a local tolerability parameter grade ≥ 2 will be calculated (grading system=0 to 3, where 3 is severe). Local tolerance to treatment, infection and wound healing will be assessed by the Investigator. Wound tolerability parameters include appearance of inflammation, amount of exudate present, hemorrhage, presence of slough/necrotic tissue, presence of granulation tissue and hypergranulation.
Time frame: Compare the ILP100-Topical and Placebo treatment arms up to Week 26.
Proportion of subjects with a local tolerability parameter Grade ≥ 2 per Independent Assessor's Assessment
The proportion of subjects with a local tolerability parameter grade ≥ 2 will be calculated (grading system=0 to 3, where 3 is severe). Local tolerance to treatment, infection and wound healing will be assessed by the Independent Assessor. Wound tolerability parameters include appearance of inflammation, amount of exudate present, hemorrhage, presence of slough/necrotic tissue, presence of granulation tissue and hypergranulation.
Time frame: Compare the ILP100-Topical and Placebo treatment arms up to Week 26.
Wound area reduction (percent of Baseline)
Wound area will be measured and calculated as proportion of the wound area at Baseline. Metric analyses of wound area is made on 3D models acquired up to Week 26.
Time frame: Compare ILP100-Topical and Placebo treatment arms up to Week 26
Wound healing rate
Wound healing rate will be calculated as change in the wound area per week. Wound healing will be assessed by Investigators and Independent Assessor.
Time frame: Compare ILP100-Topical and Placebo treatment arms up to Week 26
Proportion of subjects with ≥50% and 75% partially healed wounds
The proportion of subjects with ≥50% and 75% partially healed wounds will be calculated.
Time frame: Compare ILP100-Topical and Placebo treatment arms up to Week 26
Time to partial (≥50% and 75%) and complete healing
Time to event outcomes will be evaluated using Kaplan-Meier curves. Wound healing is defined as full skin re-epithelialization without drainage or dressing requirements confirmed at two consecutive study visits 2 weeks apart. Wound healing will be assessed by Investigators and Independent Assessor.
Time frame: Compare ILP100-Topical and Placebo treatment arms up to Week 26
Wound area
Wound area will be measured and calculated (cm\^2). Metric analyses of wound healing, including area, are made using 3D models acquired Screening to Week 26. Wound measures will be automatically generated by a computer software and validated by the Independent Assessor.
Time frame: Compare ILP100-Topical and Placebo treatment arms up to Week 26
Proportion of subjects with completely healed wounds
The proportion of subjects with completely healed wounds will be calculated. Wound healing is defined as full skin re-epithelialization without drainage or dressing requirements confirmed at two consecutive study visits 2 weeks apart. Wound healing will be assessed by Investigators and the Independent Assessor.
Time frame: Compare ILP100-Topical and Placebo treatment arms up to Week 26
Proportion of subjects with recurrence of index wound
The proportion of subjects with recurrence of index wound will be calculated. For wound assessments after each index wound healing visit, it will be documented if the index wound is still healed or if any recurrence of the wound has occurred.
Time frame: Compare ILP100-Topical and Placebo treatment arms up to Week 26
Proportion of subjects with new wound infections
The proportion of subjects with new wound infections will be calculated based on the Investigators evaluation of the skin, including assessing whether there are any new wound infections, at each study visit.
Time frame: Compare ILP100-Topical and Placebo treatment arms up to Week 26
Days on antibiotic treatment
Days on antibiotic treatment as a percentage of days in the study up to Week 26 will be calculated for each subject.

Change in subject-reported wound-related pain
Change in wound-related pain in the area of the index wound, as reported by subjects, using a numeric rating scale (NRS; 0-10, where 10 is the worst possible pain).
Time frame: Compare ILP100-Topical and Placebo treatment arms up to Week 26
Long-term incidence of AEs.
