About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Venous Ulcers

Eligibility Criteria

21 Years - 90 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male and female patients 18-85 years of age with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and the presence of venous ulceration for longer than 2 months

  2. Subject has a known sensitivity to hyaluronic acid
  3. Presence of wound infection as determined by clinical signs and symptoms
  4. Subject has any evidence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
  5. Subject has received growth factor therapy (e.g., autologous platelet-rich plasma gel, becaplermin, bilayered cell therapy, dermal substitute, extracellular matrix) within two weeks of screening date.
  6. Pregnancy or lactation at time of treatment.
  7. Subject is currently receiving or has received radiation or chemotherapy within 3 months of randomization.
  8. Subject currently enrolled or participated within 30 days of baseline in another investigational device, drug or biological trial.
  9. History of alcohol or drug abuse.
  10. Subject allergic to a broad spectrum of primary & secondary dressing materials, including occlusive dressings and the adhesives on such dressings.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this pilot study is to compare the incidence and rate of wound healing in subjects with venous ulcers treated with an extracellular matrix composed of hyaluronic acid plus compression therapy as compared to standard care. The study also intends to follow the subjects for a 16-week period in order to evaluate ulcer recurrence within treatment groups.
