A Phase IIa Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety Profile of GM-XANTHO in Pressure Ulcer Patients

Study start date: September 1, 2026

Inclusion Criteria: * 1\. Female or male inpatients including in those staying in a long-term care facility, age ≥ 20 years old. 2\. Patient who is able to understand the nature of this study and accepts to enter the study by signing written informed consent. 3\. Patient is willing to comply with protocol-stated requirements, instructions and restrictions. 4\. Patients who have at least 1 well diagnosed Stage 2 to 3 friction-injury associated PU (according to National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel \[NPUAP\] Staging Guidelines, 2019) as the index ulcer at Screening Visit and First Dosing Visit located in any of the following regions. 5\. Surface dimensions of the index PU should be ≥ 5 cm2 and ≤ 50 cm2 as measured by the greatest length and width method through using an mm-scale ruler. 6\. Patients with adequate arterial blood flow and perfusion near the site of the injury for lower extremity ulcers (e.g., the foot is warm to the touch and has palpable pulses) 7. Patients who agree discontinuation of systemic corticosteroids and systemic immune modulating agents during the study period 8. Patients who agree discontinuation of all local treatment modalities, including but not limited to topical antimicrobials, topical corticosteroid or light treatments during the study period for/on the index wound. 9\. Patients are required to stop using treatment modalities listed in Criteria #7 and #8 at least 14 days (or longer if the treatment half-life requires so; 7 half-life should have elapsed). 10\. Patient has adequate hematopoietic, hepatic function, nutrition condition and renal function as assessed by the following laboratory requirements to be conducted within 28 days prior to the first dosing: * Hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dL * Total WBC ≥ 3,000 cells/μL * Platelet ≥ 55,000 counts/μL without transfusion support * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5× ULN and no sign of jaundice * ALT and AST ≤ 5× ULN and no clinical significance * pre-albumin ≥ 11 mg/dL * Creatinine ≤ 1.5× ULN and no clinical significance 11. If the subject has diabetes mellitus \[as per American Diabetes Association guidelines (ADA guideline, 2021)\], the hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) should be≦10 % with a stable anti-diabetes regimen (monotherapy or combination therapy including oral anti-diabetes medications) for more than 12 weeks. 12\. All male patients and female patients with child-bearing potential (between puberty and 2 years after menopause) should use at least any one of the appropriate contraception methods shown below, for during and at least 4 weeks after GM-XANTHO treatment. 1. Total abstinence \[when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception\]. 2. Female sterilization (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks before taking study treatment. In case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment. 3. Male sterilization. For female subjects on the study, the vasectomized male partner should be the sole partner for that subject. 4. Combination of any two of the following listed methods: (d.1+d.2 or d.1+d.3, or d.2+d.3): d.1 Use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception or other forms of hormonal contraception that have comparable efficacy (failure rate \<1%), for example hormone vaginal ring or transdermal hormone contraception. d.2 Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS). d.3 Barrier methods of contraception: Condom or Occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/vaginal suppository. Exclusion Criteria: * 1\. Surgical treatment of pressure ulcers within 30 days prior to the Screening Visit. 2\. Patients who have any concurrent skin condition that will interfere with assessment of treatment or any condition associated with a wound healing abnormality (e.g.: connective tissue disorder or immune disorder). 3\. Patients who have active infection on the PU site(s) at baseline 4. Patients who have known hypersensitivity to the study medication 5. Patients with chronic condition(s) which either is not stable or not well controlled. 6\. Patients having positive results for HBV, HCV or HIV screens 7. Patients who are pregnant or breast feeding 8. Patients carry history of malignancy of any organ system (other than cervical carcinoma in situ or localized prostate cancer) within 5 years prior to study entry. 9\. Patients had participated in investigational drug trials and took any investigational drugs within 30 days or within 5 half-life of the investigational drugs prior to the screening visit. 10\. Patients who are not suitable to participate in the trial as judged by the Investigator(s)
