Abstract
Introduction and Objective: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a severe complication of diabetes mellitus, characterized by impaired wound healing and high rates of chronicity. BB-101, a recombinant thrombomodulin analogue, mimics thrombomodulin's functions, promoting angiogenesis and fibroblast migration, with potential to enhance wound healing in DFU patients. The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BB-101 compared with placebo group. Secondary objectives include proportion of subjects with target ulcer that heals within the 4-week treatment period and plasma concentration of BB-101. Methods: This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in type 2 DM patients with DFU classified as Wagner grade 1-3, located on the lower leg or foot, with sizes ranging from 0.5-20.0 cm² after debridement. Fifteen participants were randomly assigned to one of three treatment arms: 2 μg/mL BB-101 (low-dose), 20 μg/mL BB-101 (high-dose) or placebo applied to the foot ulcer surface for a treatment duration of 4 weeks, followed by a 2-year follow-up. Weekly photography, quantitative planimetry, and physical examinations documented the ulcer appearance, surface area, and stage. Results: As a result of BB-101 treatment, none of the serious adverse events were attributed to the treatment, and no treatment-emergent adverse events led to dose interruption or withdrawal. Patients in either the low- or high- dose group tested negative for anti-BB-101 antibodies at any visit. The low-dose group showed wound reductions from 1.38-3.03 cm² to complete closure in some cases, while high-dose treatment achieved reductions from 4.39-2.67 cm² to 0.14 cm². Both groups demonstrated consistent and increasing wound tissue proliferation and significant healing progression. Conclusion: Participants receiving BB-101 represented excellent safety profile associated with DFU, paving the way for a new era in DFU care.

期刊介绍:
Diabetes is a scientific journal that publishes original research exploring the physiological and pathophysiological aspects of diabetes mellitus. We encourage submissions of manuscripts pertaining to laboratory, animal, or human research, covering a wide range of topics. Our primary focus is on investigative reports investigating various aspects such as the development and progression of diabetes, along with its associated complications. We also welcome studies delving into normal and pathological pancreatic islet function and intermediary metabolism, as well as exploring the mechanisms of drug and hormone action from a pharmacological perspective. Additionally, we encourage submissions that delve into the biochemical and molecular aspects of both normal and abnormal biological processes.
However, it is important to note that we do not publish studies relating to diabetes education or the application of accepted therapeutic and diagnostic approaches to patients with diabetes mellitus. Our aim is to provide a platform for research that contributes to advancing our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and processes of diabetes.
