Efficacy Study of IZN-6D4 Gel for the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers

In the 2-week period between screening and baseline visit, the patient's DFU must not have healed by 30% or more, in wound area, while being treated with SWT twice a week during this screening period.

During the treatment period of 4 weeks all patients will be examined on a weekly basis by the site staff.
