Brief summary
To assess the efficacy of the PRP Concepts Fibrin Bio-Matrix and compare its performance with usual and customary practice for the treatment of chronic non-healing venous leg ulcers (VLU).
Detailed description
This is a prospective, randomized, single-blind, controlled, multi-center study for subjects undergoing VLU treatment. Qualified subjects will be randomized (1:1); test group (PRP Concepts Fibrin Bio-Matrix) and control group (usual and customary practice). The study will consist of 3 periods: a screening period, an active treatment period, and a follow-up period (if healed). Approximately 250 subjects will be enrolled. Subjects will be ≥18 years of age with a VLU (greater than 4 weeks duration). Each subject will be enrolled in the active treatment period for up to 12 weeks, or to closure of wound with a confirmatory visit 2 weeks after wound closure, whether such closure occurs at 12 weeks or earlier.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Time to complete wound closure | 12 weeks | Complete wound closure is defined as full epithelialization of the wound with the absence of drainage, durability confirmed at 2 weeks |
| Percent of wounds healed | 12 weeks | Percent of wounds healed at 12 weeks |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Wound Trajectory | 12 weeks | Mean and median of percent (%) wound size changes at 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks |
| Ulcer recurrence | 3 months | Ulcer recurrence out to 3 months for subjects whose wounds heal by conclusion of 12 weeks visit. |
| Quality of Life Health Survey | 3 months | Changes in Quality of Life scores and ability to return to previous function/resumption of normal activities |
