Study summary

This clinical study is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, positive-controlled, parallel study. Subjects who sign study informed consent (ICF) approved by Ethics Committee (EC) and meet all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria are eligible to enter the study.This clinical study is expected to include 49 participants and treat patients with diabetic wounds.Each participant is expected to participate for about 3 months, including a 2-week screening period, a 2-week dressing period, and an 8-week safety follow-up period.

Successfully enrolled subjects will be randomly divided into one of the following treatment groups: (1)GAT@F nanoenzyme hydrogel complex dressing(2)Medical chitosan bio-gel dressing (3)Blank hydrogel dressing.

Diabetic wounds were treated with experimental dressing, and dressing was changed once a day for 14 consecutive days.Neither subjects nor investigators were informed of the treatment assignment.During treatment, the granulation coverage rate and wound healing rate of each group were evaluated at the second visit, the third visit and the fourth visit.Wounds were scored using Wagner grading scale, Wlfl grading scale and IDSA/IWGDF grading scale.The histological morphology, ROS, sugar content, IL-6 and TNF-α of the wound were quantitatively detected at the second and fifth visits, and the changes of the data results compared with baseline were evaluated.The tolerability (occurrence of local adverse events) and acceptability (ease of application and removal, adherence of the dressing to the wound bed, bleeding or pain during dressing removal) of the dressing were qualitatively assessed and recorded at the 2nd visit, 3rd visit, and 4th visit.The safety follow-up was conducted by telephone on the 30th and 60th day after the last treatment to collect safety information.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    GAT@F nanoenzyme hydrogel complex

    The glucose oxidase (GOx) and catalase (CAT) cascade systems have been included in the therapeutic system of diabetic wounds,with GOx primarily consumes glucose to create H2O2, while CAT further catalyzes H2O2 to provide sufficient oxygen.Natural enzymes have excellent cascade catalytic efficiency as well as biocompatibility. Hydrogels have high water content and cargo loading efficiency, as well as superior biocompatibility, making them popular in wound healing applications.

    Drug: GAT@F nanoenzyme hydrogel complex

  • Active comparator
    Medical chitosan bio-gel dressing

    The medical device database of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) was searched and the Medical chitosan bio-gel dressing (6S YinYu)(20182640080) was selected. The positive control product used in this trial is based on the following points: 1. The properties of the test products are similar, and both the test products and the control products are hydrogel dosage forms; 2. In terms of the duration of therapeutic effect, both the experimental product and the control product could achieve the maintenance of therapeutic effect; 3. The control product is widely used by clinicians at this stage, and its clinical efficacy is relatively confirmed, with good clinical effect and safety, and it is one of the treatment products recognized by the industry for wound repair.

    Drug: GAT@F nanoenzyme hydrogel complex

  • Placebo comparator
    Blank hydrogel dressing

    Hydrogel dressings can maintain a moist environment at the wound site, which promotes cell migration and tissue regeneration, thus accelerating the healing process. Hydrogels have excellent absorption capabilities, helping to manage wound exudate and reduce the risk of infection by forming a physical barrier against bacteria and contaminants. Moreover, hydrogels are biocompatible and unlikely to cause allergic reactions or rejection. Their softness and flexibility enable them to conform to irregular wound surfaces, providing effective coverage and protection.

    Drug: GAT@F nanoenzyme hydrogel complex

Interventions

  • DrugGAT@F nanoenzyme hydrogel complex

    The wound condition was recorded by taking photos each time the dressing was changed. The diabetic wound was routinely treated with a dressing change, after which GAT@F nanoenzyme hydrogel complex was applied externally and a secondary dressing - medical surgical gauze was added. According to existing clinical data, it is recommended to use no more than 10ml per dressing change.
