About this study
Official title: A Multi-Center, Prospective, Randomized Trial Comparing the Effectiveness of Aurix Therapy to Usual and Customary Care in Stage II-IV Pressure Ulcers
The aim of this trial is to demonstrate the effectiveness of complete wound healing in a prospective, open-label, randomized trial in which pressure ulcers will be treated using Aurix and standard care and compared 1:1 to patients receiving undefined Usual and Customary Care.
Read the detailed description
Pressure ulcers (PUs) are a common problem in all patient care settings, especially long-term acute care facilities and nursing homes. Aurix is a platelet-rich plasma gel used in the treatment of non-healing chronic wounds. The results of Aurix to date when used to treat PUs have been promising. The aim of this trial is to demonstrate the effectiveness of complete wound healing in a prospective, open-label, randomized trial in which pressure ulcers will be treated using Aurix and standard of care to determine time to heal at 16 weeks. Comparison will be made to patients receiving undefined Usual and Customary Care in a 1:1 manner.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
AurixDevice
Aurix is a platelet-rich plasma gel used in the treatment of non-healing wounds. It will be administered twice weekly for 2 weeks then weekly.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Aurix + UCC | Experimental | Subjects will be treated on average twice a week for the first 2 weeks, and then, once a week thereafter while under active treatment, but actual frequency of treatment will be determined by the treating physician. All subjects will receive Aurix treatment and usual and customary care, which can include advanced therapeutics. Receives: Device: Aurix |
| Usual and Customary Care | No intervention | Subjects will be treated on average twice a week for the first 2 weeks, and then, once a week thereafter while under active treatment, but actual frequency of treatment will be determined by the treating physician. All subjects will receive usual and customary care, which can include advanced therapeutics. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Time to Heal
Compare complete wound healing at 16 weeks for all pressure ulcers treated with Aurix plus standard of care with patients randomized to usual and customary care. Complete wound closure is defined as skin re-epithelialization without drainage or dressing requirements confirmed at two consecutive study visits 2 weeks apart (FDA Guidance for Industry Chronic Cutaneous Ulcer and Burn Wounds - Developing Products for Treatment, 2006).
Measured: 16 weeks
