Study Investigating the Safety and Efficacy of HP802-247 in the Treatment of Venous Leg Ulcers >12 cm2 to ≤ 36 cm2
- Conditions
- Venous Leg Ulcers
- Interventions
- Biological: VehicleBiological: HP802-247
- Registration Number
- NCT01737762
- Lead Sponsor
- Healthpoint
- Brief Summary
This study is being done to find out if an investigational product called HP802-247 can help people with venous leg ulcers. Investigational means that HP802-247 has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
At least 250 subjects will participate. The study is going to be conducted in approximately 50 sites in the United States and Canada.
- Detailed Description
This research is being done to compare the efficacy of HP802-247 plus compression therapy against Vehicle plus compression therapy in achieving complete wound closure over the 16-week treatment period. Vehicle looks the same as HP802-247 but contains no cells. Target wound status is evaluated at each study visit (closed, open, reopened). At wound closure or completion of treatment all subject will enter an observational safety followed up period which ends at one year after initial exposure to test article.
