Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- Has diabetes mellitus, according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria.

- Has at least 1 skin ulcer located on or below the malleolus that presents with the
following clinical manifestations of a moderate or severe infection based on the
Infectious Disease Society of America guidelines for the "Diagnosis and Treatment of
Diabetic Foot Infections" (CID 2012; 54:132-173) (IDSA guidelines):

- has = 2 manifestations of inflammation (local swelling or induration, erythema, local
tenderness or pain, local warmth, purulent discharge (thick, opaque to white or
sanguineous secretion)

- has = 1 of the following characteristics: erythema > 2cm, or involving structures
deeper than skin and subcutaneous tissues (e.g. abscess, osteomyelitis, septic
arthritis, fasciitis) For patients with multiple infected ulcers, the ulcer with the
highest Diabetic Foot Infection Wound score (DFI score) must be on or below the
malleolus and all infected ulcers must be completely coverable using no more than 4
sponges (sponges cannot be cut).

- Has documented adequate arterial perfusion in the affected limb(s) (either palpable

pressure = 45 mm Hg or participation is approved by a vascular surgeon)

- Has received appropriate surgical intervention to remove all necrotic and infected
bone if diagnosed with osteomyelitis.

allowed by this protocol.

- Has an ulcer associated with prosthetic material or an implanted device.

Summary
Brief summary
This is a phase 3, randomized, controlled, blinded, multicenter study conducted in 3 parallel
cohorts of diabetic patients with at least 1 infected foot ulcer. Patients will be randomized
to receive 1 of 3 study treatments; systemic antibiotic therapy and standard ulcer care with
either (A) daily application of a gentamicin-sponge, (B) daily application of a
placebo-sponge or (C) no-sponge, in the ratio 2:1:1. Patients will be treated for
approximately 28 days and return to the clinic weekly for safety and efficacy assessments.
After completing treatment, patients will return to the clinic for scheduled follow-up visits
approximately 10, 30, 60 and 90 days after treatment is stopped.
