- History of active Charcot foot of the study foot within 6 months of screening
- Treatment with systemic corticosteroids (equivalent to \> 10 mg/day of prednisone) or immunosuppressive or chemotherapeutic agents within 14 days prior to the first study drug gel application or likelihood to receive one of these therapies during study participation
