AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
REGRANEX (becaplermin) is a topical gel formulation containing recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) approved in December 1997 for the treatment of lower extremity diabetic neuropathic ulcers. The product works by promoting chemotactic recruitment and proliferation of cells involved in wound repair and enhancing granulation tissue formation, mimicking the biological activity of endogenous PDGF. REGRANEX is indicated as an adjunctive therapy and is not a substitute for standard wound care practices including sharp debridement, pressure relief, and infection control. It represents a biologic approach to chronic wound management in the diabetic patient population.
