Study Investigating the Safety and Efficacy of HP802-247 in the Treatment of Venous Leg Ulcers

Phase 3

Completed

• Conditions: Venous Leg Ulcers
• Interventions: Biological: Vehicle; Biological: HP-802-247

• Registration Number: NCT01656889
• 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).

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 12-week treatment period. Vehicle looks the same as HP802-247 but contains no cells.

Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: COMPLETED
• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 447

Inclusion Criteria

• Provide informed consent.
• Age ≥ 18 years and of either sex.
• Willing to comply with protocol instructions, including allowing all study assessments.
• Have a venous leg ulcer (VLU) between the knee and ankle (at or above the malleolus), with a surface area ≥ 2.0 cm2 and ≤ 12.0 cm2
• Venous insufficiency confirmed by duplex Doppler ultrasound examination for valvular or venous incompetence.
• Arterial supply adequacy confirmed
• Target ulcer involves a full thickness skin loss, but WITHOUT exposure of tendon, muscle, or bone.
• Target ulcer duration ≥ 6 weeks but ≤ 104 weeks (24 months).
• Acceptable state of health and nutrition

Exclusion Criteria

• History of anaphylaxis, serum sickness, or erythema multiforme reaction to aprotinin, bovine serum albumin or bovine serum proteins, penicillin, streptomycin, amphotericin B.
• Prior diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus with elevated anti-DNA antibody titers, Buerger's disease (thromboangiitis obliterans), current diagnosis of vasculitis, or current diagnosis of claudication.
• Therapy with another investigational agent within thirty (30) days of Screening, or during the study.
• A target ulcer of non-venous etiologies (e.g., sickle cell anemia, necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum, pyoderma gangrenosum, vasculopathic or vasculitic).
• Documented history of osteomyelitis at the target wound location within 6 months preceding the Screening Visit.
• Refusal of or inability to tolerate compression therapy.
• Therapy of the target ulcer with autologous skin graft, Apligraf™, or Dermagraft™ within 30 days preceding the Screening Visit.
• History of cancer in the preceding 5 years (other than carcinoma in situ of the cervix or adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancers).
• Any prior exposure to HP802-247 or its vehicle.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Vehicle	Vehicle	Vehicle Control (fibrinogen solution \& thrombin solution without cells)
HP802-247	HP-802-247	HP802-247 (fibrinogen solution \& thrombin solution containing living, irradiated, growth arrested keratinocytes and fibroblasts) 260 µL (130 µL, one spray, of each solution) containing 0.5 x 106 cells per mL every 14 days.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Compare the Treatment Groups for the Proportion of Subjects With Complete Wound Closure Over the 12-Week Treatment Period From Baseline	12 Weeks	For each treatment group the area of each subject's target ulcer was measured on a weekly basis, for up to 12 weeks, using a laser-based wound imaging system in conjunction with software to measure area. Following initial closure subjects returned for four weekly visits to confirm wound closure. Wounds that remained closed for four weeks were classified as confirmed closures; if a wound opened at any of the 4 visits it was not considered to have closed. For subjects who dropped from the study, their remaining visit values were imputed using LOCF; wound status of closed was not imputed.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Compare the Efficacy of the Treatment Groups in Achieving Complete Wound Closure, Based on Time in Days to Closure Over the 12-Week Treatment Period From Baseline.	12 Weeks	This key secondary outcome was based on a Cox Proportional Hazard Analysis and a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.
Compare the Treatment Groups for the Percentage of Closed Ulcers at Each Visit of the 12-Week Treatment Period From Baseline	Weekly, over the 12 week treatment period, or until wound closure, which ever occurred first	Treatment groups were compared for the proportion of wounds closed at each weekly visit. For subjects who dropped from the study, their remaining visit values were imputed using LOCF.
Number of Subjects With Durable Wound Healing Over the 3 Months Following Complete Wound Closure	Target ulcer status observed at two and three months following initial ulcer closure.	Subjects who completed the treatment period with confirmed wound closure were followed in the post-treatment period for a further two months to determine their closed wound status (remained closed/reopened), giving a measure of persistence of wound closure following completion of treatment.
Change in Pain Associated With the Target Leg at Each of the 12 Double Blind Treatment Weeks	Weekly, over the 12 week treatment period, baseline	Target leg pain were measured using a Visual Analog Scale \[Range: 0mm - 100mm\]. Subjects marked their pain level on a 100 mm horizontal line, with a short vertical line across the scale, 0 denoting no pain and 100mm the maximum pain.
Change in Target Ulcer Pain	Weekly, over 12 week treament period, baseline	Target ulcer pain were measured using a Visual Analog Scale \[Range: 0mm - 100mm\]. Subjects marked their pain level on a 100 mm horizontal line, with a short vertical line across the scale, 0 denoting no pain and 100mm the maximum pain.
Compare the Efficacy of the Treatment Groups in Achieving Complete Wound Closure, Based on the Median Time (in Days) to Closure Over the 12-Week Treatment Period From Baseline.	12 weeks	This key secondary outcome was based on a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.
