Registry Trial of the Effectiveness of Platelet Rich Plasma for Chronic Non-Healing Wounds (CMS)
Diabetic Foot Ulcers, Venous Ulcers, Pressure Ulcers
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Diabetic Foot Ulcers focused on measuring Chronic, Non-healing, Wounds
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Medicare Eligible
- Written informed consent obtained from either the subject or the subject's legally acceptable representative prior to screening activities
- Male or female ≥ 18 years of age
- Duration of Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU),Venous Ulcers (VU), or Pressure Ulcers (PU) is greater than 30 days at first visit/subject screening
- DFU is classified as Wagner 1 -2 on the Wagner classification system
- If more than one non-healing wound is present, the largest of the wounds that is classified as a Wagner 1 - 2.
- If a subject has multiple eligible wounds, the largest wound will be selected. There must be at least 4 cm between the index wound and other wounds; if all wounds are closer than 4 cm, the subject should not be enrolled (screen failure).
- The ulcer must be clinically non-infected
- Able and willing to comply with the procedures required by the protocol. Subjects may be managed as either inpatient or outpatient.
- If a female of childbearing potential, the subject must have a negative urine pregnancy test at screening and must agree to use adequate contraception methods for the duration of the study.
- Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) greater than or equal to 0.7.
Exclusion Criteria:

- Current treatment of another chronic wound in the same limb (defined as arm or leg).
- Wound is not of DFU, PU, or VU pathophysiology.
- PU is classified as late stage III or stage IV.
- Confirmed presence of osteomyelitis, or if osteomyelitis is suspected.
- Received systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressive agents, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), electrostimulation, growth factors, or any cell or tissue-derived products for wounds during the 30 days preceding the screening visit.
- Any chronic condition requiring the use of systemic corticosteroids 30 days prior to study entry and anytime during the course of the study.
- Received radiation therapy or chemotherapy within previous 6 months.
- Any malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer.
- Patient has radiographic evidence consistent with diagnosis of neuropathic osteoarthropathy (Charcot foot) in the treatment limb.
- Ulcer area decreases by greater than or equal to 30% during screening period
- Subjects who are cognitively impaired and do not have a healthcare proxy.
- Subject has inadequate venous access for repeated blood draw required for PRP preparation.
- Subject has sickle cell anemia.
- Subject is pregnant or plans to become pregnant during the duration of the trial.
- Concurrent participation in a clinical trial in which an investigational agent is used.

Standard Wound Care
The method of application for PRP treatment will be decided by the clinician in accordance with the appearance of the wound bed. The application of topical PRP gel may be used in chronic wounds possessing an open, moist wound bed according to following treatment schedule: Baseline/Week 0, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 7, and Week 11. The Arteriocyte Magellan® System (510(k) cleared) will be used to prepare the autologous PRP gel. For data analysis, the data from these patients will be classified as PRP Treatment Group (Topical application) data.
The method of application for PRP treatment will be decided by the clinician in accordance with the appearance of the wound bed. Autologous PRP Injections may be used where chronic wounds possess a raised, hyperproliferative wound margin and/or plaque, according to following treatment schedule: Baseline/Week 0, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 7, and Week 11. The Arteriocyte Magellan® System (510(k) cleared) will be used to prepare Autologous PRP for injections. For data analysis, the data from these patients will be classified as PRP Treatment Group (Direct Injection) data.
The method of application for PRP treatment will be decided by the clinician in accordance with the appearance of the wound bed. Some wounds may be suitable for both Autologous PRP Gel plus PRP Injections. Autologous PRP injections into, or to the periphery of, a moist wound bed in which no scarification or raised wound margin is apparent (where autologous PRP Gel can also be used) may further augment wound healing by addressing wound healing in multiple areas, following the treatment schedule: Baseline/Week 0, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 7, and Week 11. The Arteriocyte Magellan® System (510(k) cleared) will be used to prepare the autologous PRP gel. For data analysis, the data from these patients will be classified as PRP Treatment Group (Topical and Direct) data.
Subjects in the control group will receive Standard Wound Care treatment for chronic wounds according to accepted medical practices. For data analysis, the data from these patients will be classified as Control (Standard of Care) Group data
