About this trial

The goal of this Phase 1 clinical trial is to learn about the safety profile of Amicidin-β topical solution applied directly into infected surgical or traumatic wounds during a surgical procedure. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Is Amicidin-β topical solution safe to test in larger clinical trials? 2. Is Amicidin-β topical solution absorbed into the bloodstream from local wound application? 3. Is Amicidin-β topical solution easy for the surgeon to use? Participants will receive either standard of care alone, or standard of care with intrawound Amicidin-β topical solution for the management of their wound infection. Researchers will compare these two groups (standard of care alone to standard of care with Amicidin-β topical solution) to see if there are any study drug-related adverse effects.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Overall comparison of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAES) of combined SOC + Amicidin-β topical solution recipients to SOC only recipients across 3 cohorts.

Time frame
From Day 1 to Day 30

Secondary outcomes

1

Number of participants with Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) by severity according to the study protocol.

Time frame
From Day 1 to Day 30
2

Measurement of systemic absorption of Amicidin-β recipients.

Systemic absorption will be assessed by single molecule array (Simoa) immunoassay measurements of patient plasma.

Time frame
From Day 1 to Day 3
