Trial to Evaluate Cyclical Topical Wound Oxygen Therapy in the Treatment of Chronic Venous Leg Ulcers

Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and economic benefits of Cyclical Pressure Topical Wound Oxygen (TWO2) Therapy in the treatment of venous leg ulcers. Participants will utilize standard of care (SOC) multilayer compression dressings with an inactive wound contact layer. Following a 2-week run-in period with SOC and after meeting all eligibility criteria, subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio with TWO2 therapy or sham control therapy plus SOC. Participants will enter the intervention period of up to 16-weeks, followed by a long-term follow-up period of 52 weeks post randomization.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Study ulcer (current episode of ulceration in case of ulcer recurrence) has been present for at least 6 weeks but no more than 5 years prior to study entry
  • * The index ulcer has been treated with CCD of at least 30mmHg for ≥ 6 weeks prior to screening.
  • * Adequate perfusion with Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) of 0.75-1.24 inclusive measured at study entry or within 8 weeks prior to study entry AND TcpO2 \> 30mmHg OR Biphasic arterial duplex below the knee OR Toe pressure \> 30mmHg OR TBI .6

  • * • Known allergy to any of the protocol-stipulated treatments, or non-tolerance of multilayer, multicomponent compression therapy
  • * Acute thrombophlebitis or Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and within three months preceding study entry
  • * Subject awaiting venous ablation or is less than 30 days post ablation
  • * Surgery during three months prior to study entry (such as abdominal, gynecological, hip or knee replacement)
  • * Wound etiology of uncertain origin or history or prior diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Burger's Disease, Pyoderma Gangrenosum or other inflammatory ulceration, vasculitis
