Brief Summary:

Approximately 60 subjects will be enrolled into this double-blind, placebo-controlled study for the Deferoxamine Intradermal Delivery Patch (DIDP).

Those subjects who pass Screening will enter into the 2-week Standard of Care (SOC) Run-In period. During this time, ulcers will be assessed to check healing based on digital planimetry, and qualitative features of the ulcer. Subjects who meet eligibility criteria at the end of the 2-week Run-in Period will be randomized into active and control groups (2 active to 1 placebo) and enter the 12-week Treatment Period. At each visit during the Treatment Period, the target ulcer will be measured by digital photographic planimetry, the Principal Investigator will assess the wound qualitative attributes, and the DIDP (or placebo patch) will be placed as the primary wound dressing. At each visit the subject will also receive/review a daily diary to document pain , study drug compliance, and analgesic use.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Chronic Cutaneous Ulcer Sickle Cell Disease Drug: Deferoxamine Product Other: Placebo Phase 1 Phase 2

Detailed Description:

Approximately 60 subjects will be enrolled to allow for up to 48 male or female subjects with SCD and cutaneous ulcers to complete this double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

A sentinel group of 3 subjects will be enrolled and evaluated for safety (while still blinded). The remaining subjects will be enrolled in a 2:1 ratio, active:placebo.

Those subjects who pass Screening will enter into the Standard of Care (SOC) Run-In period. During this time, ulcers will be assessed to check healing based on digital planimetry, and qualitative features of the ulcer. Subjects who meet eligibility criteria at the end of the Run-in Period will be randomized and enter the 12-week Treatment Period.

The DIDP (or placebo) will be replaced daily at home. The subject will visit the clinic on an approximately weekly basis for study assessments, to include imaging and planimetric wound measurements and qualitative wound assessments. Clinical laboratory samples will be collected at Treatment Baseline, Treatment Weeks 4, 8 and 12, or at End of Study (EOS) visit if sooner. A blood sample for PK testing will also be collected at these timepoints. During this Treatment Period, if at any time the wound has met the criterion for 100% healing, the subject will immediately go into the 4-week Follow-up Period.

During the Follow-up Period, the subject will come to the clinic at 1-week intervals. At these visits, the area of the wound will continue to be protected with a protective dressing. Clinical laboratory samples will be collected at the Termination Visit.

Ulcer pain will be assessed by the subject daily and recorded in a diary, along with a record of analgesic use. At each visit, study staff will assist the subjects to assign an overall ulcer pain score for the week.

Quality of Life Assessment will be performed at Baseline prior to dosing and at End of Treatment.

Safety will be assessed based upon known adverse outcomes of Deferoxamine (DFO) therapy. Skin will be examined for evidence of rash and skin irritation.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety / Tolerability] [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Incidence of systemic and local adverse events of DIDP applied to non-healing cutaneous leg ulcers. Changes from baseline characteristics that are treatment-related as measured by physical examinations, clinical laboratory, skin and other physiologic assessments.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Degree of Wound closure [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Percentage of wound closure

  2. Partial wound closure incidence [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Incidence of 80% closure

  3. Total wound closure incidence [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Incidence of 100% closure

  4. Wound closure rate [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    rate of closure

  5. Ulcer recurrence [ Time Frame: 4 week follow-up post ]
    Incidence


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Ulcer pain: Numeric Pain Rating Scale [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Numeric Pain Rating Scale (McCaffery et al, 1989) Scale: 0-10 (0 = no pain, 10 = severe pain)

  2. Analgesic use [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Diary: Opioid analgesic use converted as morphine mg equivalents (MME). Non-steroidal use will be descriptive.

  3. QOL: Health-related QOL in Chronic Wounds [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Wound QOL: Health-related QOL in Chronic Wounds (Augustin et el, 2014; Blome et al, 2014) Response range: "not at all" -to- "very much"

  4. Pharmacokinetics (blood) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Deferoxamine / Placebo Peak plasma concentration (Cmax)

  5. Pharmacokinetics (blood) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Deferoxamine / Placebo Time of peak plasma concentration (Tmax)

  6. Pharmacokinetics (blood) [ Time Frame: 8 hours ]
    Deferoxamine / Placebo Plasma concentration over 8 hours
