- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of patients with appearance of healthy granulation tissue covering = 75% ulcer size - surface area (baseline) at TOC/Visit 17 <br/ ><br>(Healthy granulation tissues should have serous exudate, very fine granules, bright red in colour and bleed on touch)Timepoint: 70 Days, visit every 5 days
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of patients with complete wound closure at TOC/Visit 17 <br/ ><br>(Complete wound closure is defined as 100% epithelisation, normal coloration with no marginal recurrence, complete absence of exudate and no clinical signs of infection) <br/ ><br>Mean percent reduction of ulcer size (surface area) at TOC/Visit 17 <br/ ><br>Time to appearance of healthy granulation tissue covering = 75% of ulcer surfaceTimepoint: 70 Days
