Clinical Study Of Affinity Versus SOC In The Management Of VLUs
Venous Leg Ulcer
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Venous Leg Ulcer focused on measuring VLU, Chronic Venous Leg Ulcer, Non-healing VLU
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Ulcers of venous origin, as clinically determined by clinical signs and symptoms (e.g. hyperpigmentation of the surrounding skin, history of swelling, varicosities, lipodermatosclerosis and/or dermatitis) or other assessments (e.g. venous reflux test).
- Venous insufficiency ulcers, of at least 1-month duration, which have not adequately responded to conventional ulcer therapy
- Venous insufficiency ulcers between 2 cm2 and 80 cm2
- Partial- or full-thickness VLU, including ulcers with tissue damage that extends through the epidermis and into the upper epidermis (papillary dermis), or into the deep dermis (reticular dermis) but not through muscle, tendon, capsule, or into bone.
- Subjects are between 18 and 85 years of age.
- IRB approved Informed Consent Form is signed before screening and treatment.
- Subject is expected to be available for 24 week follow-up
- Females of child-bearing potential must be practicing an acceptable means of birth control as determined by the investigator.
- Subjects with bilateral ulcers may be enrolled.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) of <0.65
- Venous insufficiency ulcers less than 2cm2 or greater than 80cm2
- Vasculitis, severe rheumatoid arthritis, and other collagen vascular diseases
- Clinically significant medical conditions which would impair wound healing, as determined by the investigator, including renal, hepatic, hematologic, neurologic or immune disease
- Signs and symptoms of infection, cellulitis, osteomyelitis
- Necrotic or avascular ulcer beds
- Ulcer with exposed bone, tendon or fascia
- Subjects receiving hemodialysis or have uncontrolled diabetes
- Subjects who are currently receiving or have received at any time within one month prior to entry into the study, corticosteroids (>15 mg/day), immunosuppressive agents, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. Anticipated use of the above agents will exclude subjects from entry into the study.
- Subjects enrolled in other wound drug investigational studies within the past three months, or device studies within the past 30 days.
- Subject is pregnant or breast feeding.

Affinity plus SOC
Standard of Care (SOC)
Affinity is an aseptically processed, hypothermically stored fresh allograft with viable cells, growth factors/cytokines, and extracellular matrix (ECM). Affinity is human allograft tissue that is regulated as a Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Product (HCT/P) as defined by FDA 21 CFR Part 1271. Affinity may be applied as a wound covering to partial- and full-thickness acute and chronic wounds
Standard of Care (SOC) includes, but is not limited to, surgical debridement, aggressive infection management, offloading, and maintenance of appropriate cleansing at the time of each dressing change.
