Healthpoint

Status and phase: Completed; Phase 3

Conditions: Venous Leg Ulcers

Details and patient eligibility

About

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.

Enrollment: 447 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

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.
