Summary

The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of standard treatment associated with a topical anti-staphylococcal bacteriophage cocktail versus standard treatment plus placebo for diabetic foot ulcers monoinfected by methicillin-resistant or susceptible S. aureus (MRSA or MSSA) as measured by the relative reduction in wound surface area (%) at 12 weeks.

Conditions

  • Diabetic Foot
  • Staphylococcal Infections

Interventions

DRUG

Topical anti-Staphylococcus bacteriophage therapy

Patients randomized to the experimental arm will receive sterile compress dressings impregnated with a phage solution of 10\^7 PFU/ml on days 0, 7 and 14 (unless the wound is already healed, i.e. phage solutions are not applied to healed wounds).

DRUG

Topical placebo corresponding to anti-Staphylococcus bacteriophage therapy

Patients randomized to the placebo arm will receive sterile compress dressings impregnated with a placebo solution on days 0, 7 and 14 (unless the wound is already healed, i.e. placebo solutions are not applied to healed wounds).
