Pivotal Trial of Dermagraft(R) to Treat Venous Leg Ulcers (DEVO)

May 16, 2018 updated by: Organogenesis

A Prospective, Multi-Center, Randomized, Controlled Clinical Investigation of Dermagraft(R) in Subjects With Venous Leg Ulcers DEVO-Trial

This study randomly assigns patients with venous leg ulcers to receive standard therapy (compression) alone or compression plus Dermagraft(R). Dermagraft is a device containing live human fibroblasts grown on an absorbable Vicryl mesh. Patients are seen weekly until they heal or the 16-week treatment period is complete. Follow-up visits are conducted monthly for three months in order to assess patients for longer term safety.
