Clinical Trial Summary

The MARSYAS II study which will be conducted in patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) consists of a Lead-In Phase for safety assessment of multiple doses of the biologic investigational medicinal product (IMP) APO-2 and of a Main Phase (Phase II Study) to assess the efficacy and safety of the IMP. The phase II study will be a randomized study at multiple clinical centers and it will be double-blind meaning that neither the investigator nor the treated patient know if the IMP or a placebo is applied; the study will investigate the safety and clinical efficacy of multiple dose administrations at three dose levels of APO-2 (low dose, medium dose or high dose) compared with placebo.


Clinical Trial Description

APOSEC is a secretome released by cultured, stressed peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in medium. Content analysis revealed that APOSEC harbors a myriad of proteins, exosomes, lipids, phospholipids, cholesterols as well as antimicrobial peptides. It was shown that the topical application of APOSEC mixed with a hydrogel, called APO-2, promotes/enhances wound healing. The MARSYAS II main study will be a multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, dose-ranging phase II study to investigate the safety and clinical efficacy of multiple dose administrations at three dose levels of APO-2 compared with placebo in patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). The main study will be preceded by a safety lead-in period evaluating multiple dose safety (25 U/ml APO-2) in patients with DFU in a cohort of 12 patients randomized at a ratio of 3:1 between APO-2 and placebo at 2 to 4 study sites. The minimum duration of an individual patient in the safety lead-in period is 93 days (including screening), with a maximum of approximately 117 days. In the main study 120 eligible patients will be randomized at a ratio of 1:1:1:1 between APO-2 (three doses) and placebo. Patients will be stratified by wound size (at least 20% of patients will need to have wound size > 4 square cm), and randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatment groups (low dose [12.5 U/ml], medium dose [25 U/ml], high dose [50 U/ml] or placebo). After randomization, patients will receive IMP three times per week during the 4-week active treatment period. 0.5 ml IMP will be applied per square cm wound surface area for each dose group. ;
