Conditions
Venous Leg Ulcer
Registration Number
NCT07211243
Lead Sponsor
Lohmann & Rauscher
Brief Summary

This clinical investigation will be conducted as a multicentre, open-label, randomised in parallel groups, controlled study on patients with infected venous leg ulcers.

Detailed Description

During the screening, all patients will be assessed for inclusion and exclusion criteria and wound exudation status. Eligible patients with slight or moderate wound exudation will be randomly assigned to treatment with either Suprasorb®X+PHMB Pro or Suprasorb®X+PHMB. The patients who fulfil all other eligibility criteria but have high level of wound exudation will enter a 7-days run-in period, during which they will receive superabsorbent dressing (e.g. Vliwazell® Pro, Vliwasorb® Pro) and monitored compression therapy with Rosidal® 1C. During the run-in period they should receive appropriate treatment including systemic antimicrobial drug therapy if required. After this time, these patients should be re-assessed and in case they still fulfil all eligibility criteria, and the exudation decreased at least to a moderate level, they will be randomised to Suprasorb®X+PHMB Pro or Suprasorb®X+PHMB. In case the exudation would not decrease within this period or other eligibility criteria are not met anymore, they will be screened out.

Upon randomisation, all patients will receive the assigned dressing for 21 (±2) days, or till the complete epithelialization, if it occurs earlier. The patients should also continue to receive adequate compression and, if necessary, systemic antimicrobial drug therapy. During the study participation, selected parameters of the wound will be assessed at Baseline, Interim Visit, and EOT visit. In addition, dressing changes may be performed in-between on as needed basis. After 3 weeks of treatment with Suprasorb®X+PHMB Pro or Suprasorb®X+PHMB, all patients will complete the study. Their further treatment (if necessary), will not be the part of the study.

on a 4-grade scale there 0 means no maceration and 4 means severe maceration

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Wound area change over time3 weeks

in mm2

Change of necrotic & fibrinous & granulation tissue rate in the wound bed3 weeks

Change of wound infection status3 weeks

by a TILI (Therapeutical Index for Local Infections) score with a range 1-6. TILI \< 5 indicates a wound without infection, whereas TILI ≥ 5 means a local wound infection.

Product safety (rate of product-related complications)3 weeks

by rate of product-related complications

Change of wound exudation and presence of peri-wound oedema3 weeks

by the investigators' assessment of exudation grade

Change in patient's pain3 weeks

By NRS (numeric rating scale), with zero meaning "no pain" and 10 meaning "the worst pain imaginable"

Product usability3 weeks

by user and patient questionnaire

Change in patient's quality of life3 weeks

by Wound QoL-17 (wound quality of life) questionnaire

Oedema chamge3 weeks

by measurement of limb circumference

Sub-bandage pressure levels retention3 weeks

difference of the pressure levels, measured at the time of application and before the next dressing change with a wireless sensor
