Derma Sciences had recently reported positive results from Phase II study evaluating DSC127 in diabetic foot ulcer healing.
The results showed that 54% of wounds healed completely in 12 weeks, compared to only 33% of wounds in patients receiving placebo and best standard of care in the intent-to-treat populations.
