About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Controlled, Clinical Study to Assess a New Adjustable Compression Device in Patients With Venous Leg Ulcers

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the product performance of a new adjustable compression system for the treatment of venous leg ulcers.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the product performance of a new adjustable compression system for the treatment of venous leg ulcers. The new compression system consists of a compression stocking and and adjustable compression sleeve. It will be used over primary dressings to provide compression that is beneficial to the healing of venous leg ulcers.

Conditions
Varicose Ulcer
Being tested
3M™ Coban™ Custom Fit Compression System, Profore
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 3M™ Coban™ Custom Fit Compression SystemDevice

    Also called Coban Fit Compression System

    3M Coban™ Fit is a compression system that consists of two components: 1. A Compression Stocking and 2. Coban™ Fit Sleeve.

    The stocking provides compression to the foot and improves wearing comfort in the calf area under the sleeve. The compression sleeve is intended to provide the therapeutic compression to the calf, with the initial fitting to be done by a health-care professional. The compression sleeve is customized according to the anatomy of the patient's leg; both components are designed to be used together.

  • ProforeDevice

    PROFORE is a multi-layer compression bandaging system developed to apply sustained graduated compression for the management of venous leg ulcers and associated conditions. Multi-layer compression bandaging is the first choice in treatment for venous leg ulcers.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
3M™ Coban™ Custom Fit Compression SystemExperimental3M™ Coban™ Custom Fit Compression System will be custom-fitted at first subject visit and will thereafter be applied and removed daily by the study subject. It will be worn throughout the day by the study subject and removed before bedtime. It will provide therapeutic compression for edema control to help in the healing of venous leg ulcers.
Receives: Device: 3M™ Coban™ Custom Fit Compression System
ProforeActive comparatorProfore multi-layer compression bandaging system will be applied at the first subject visit and will be worn by the study subject continuously for 7 days, at which time it will be replaced with a new system, or, in the case of a product or non-product reason, replaced before 7 days. It will provide therapeutic compression for edema control to help in the healing of venous leg ulcers

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The primary efficacy endpoint is the number of ulcers achieving complete closure (100% epithelialization) after 12 weeks

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Wound area reduction and relative wound area reduction at weeks 4, 8, and 12.

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks

  2. Relative wound area reduction >/= 40% at Week 4

    Measured: 4 weeks

  3. Time to complete closure

    Measured: 1-12 weeks

  4. Occurrence of treatment-related adverse events

    Measured: 0-12 weeks

  5. Occurrence of treatment-related drop-outs

    Measured: 0-12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 3M™ Coban™ Custom Fit Compression System and Profore in people with Varicose Ulcer, run by 3M at 5 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

The primary efficacy endpoint is the number of ulcers achieving complete closure (100% epithelialization) after 12 weeks (time frame: 12 weeks). 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Nov 2015.
