The interventional, prospective study is evaluating the efficacy and safety of RECCE 327 as a potential topical anti-infective treatment for patients with mild skin and soft tissue DFI.
A total of 32 patients aged 18 years are divided into two cohorts of 16 each and will be studied for a duration of 14 days.
Patients in the first cohort will receive spray-on RECCE327 daily while the second cohort will receive the formulation for every two days.
Depending on treatment cohort allocation, a study nurse will attend the patient’s home for daily or second daily application of topical RECCE327 solution.
