Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

  2. Subject has completed 14 day run-in period with ≤ 25% wound area reduction post-debridement.

  3. Have one of the following:

    • Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABI) > 0.75. (Calculations will be made using measurements from both posterior tibial and dorsalis pedis arteries as well as both arms) OR
    • Have venous insufficiency confirmed by duplex ultrasound examination for valvular or venous incompetence.
  4. Age ≥ 18.
  5. Females of childbearing potential must be willing to use acceptable methods of contraception (birth control pills, barriers, or abstinence).

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Proportion of patients in both groups with complete wound healing at 12 weeks

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants.
