A Study of XSTEM-VLU in Patients With Difficult-to-heal Venous Leg Ulcers

Phase 1
Recruiting
Conditions
Venous Leg Ulcer
Interventions
Other: Vehicle
Registration Number
NCT05549609
Lead Sponsor
Xintela AB
Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to assess safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of XSTEM-VLU when administered as a single topical dose to patients with difficult-to-heal venous leg ulcers. The study is randomised and the patients will receive either XSTEM-VLU or vehicle as add on to standard wound care.

The patients will be followed weekly for 10 weeks after treatment. At 4 months after treatment, the patients will return to the clinic for an end-of-study visit.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Safety and tolerability: Adverse events (AEs)From study start to 4 months after dosing

Frequency, seriousness and intensity of AEs assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)

Safety and tolerability: Local tolerabilityFrom study start to 4 months after dosing

Local tolerability evaluated by direct inspection by need for debridement (Yes/No) and clinical signs of wound infection (Yes/No)

Safety and tolerability: Number of participants with abnormal 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG)From study start to 4 months after dosing

Abnormal findings assessed by the Investigator as clinically significant will be reported as AEs.

Safety and tolerability: Number of participants with abnormal physical examination findingsFrom study start to 4 months after dosing

Abnormal findings assessed by the Investigator as clinically significant will be reported as AEs.

Safety and tolerability: Number of participants with abnormal vital signsFrom study start to 4 months after dosing

Vital signs include blood pressure, pulse and body temperature. Abnormal findings assessed by the Investigator as clinically significant will be reported as AEs.

Safety and tolerability: Number of participants with abnormal laboratory test resultsFrom study start to 4 months after dosing

Laboratory tests include clinical chemistry, haematology and coagulation parameters. Abnormal values assessed by the Investigator as clinically significant will be reported as AEs.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Preliminary efficacy: Proportion of patients with re-epithelialization of >=95% and >=50% of the wound area measured at baselineFrom study start to 4 months after dosing
Preliminary efficacy: Pain for target wound and the affected leg using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)From study start to 4 months after dosing

The VAS consists of a 100 mm line from no pain (0 mm) to worst possible pain (100 mm).

Preliminary efficacy: Wound area reduction (absolute and percentage) compared to baselineFrom study start to 4 months after dosing
Preliminary efficacy: Time to re-epithelialization of >=95% and >=50% of the wound area measured at baselineFrom study start to 4 months after dosing
Preliminary efficacy: Scar formation assessed by the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS)At week 10 and at 4 months after dosing

The POSAS is divided into two scales (for patient and for observer), each with six items scored numerically (1 -10). The lowest score "1" corresponds to normal skin.
