Read the detailed description

The investigation is designed as an open, non-controlled, post-marketing clinical follow-up. Subjects with chronic ulcers or partial thickness burns (including donor sites) at 2 sites will be included. Each subject with a chronic ulcer will be seen once a week for a maximum of 4 weeks or until desired treatment effect is obtained, whichever occurs earlier. Each subject with a partial thickness burn/donor site will be followed once a week for a maximum of 3 weeks or until desired treatment effect is obtained, whichever occurs earlier. All dressing changes will be done according to clinical routine practices and will follow IFU (instruction for use)

What are the possible benefits and risks?

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Wound Are at Baseline (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
