Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with a chronic open wound present at least 4 weeks but less than 12 months, with <25% healing in the prior 14 days, wound size 0.5–25 cm2, depth ≤1 cm, no infection or exposed bone, adequate circulation, and appropriate offloading if applicable.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with active wound infection, clinically exposed bone, wounds outside the size or depth limits, poor circulation or vascular insufficiency, or those who are medically ineligible may not benefit from this intervention.

What this trial studies
This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter crossover trial comparing standard of care (SOC) alone to SOC plus NeoThelium FT in adults with chronic open wounds. Participants are randomized after a two-week screening period and those in the SOC arm who have not achieved closure by about 84 days may cross over to receive weekly NeoThelium FT applications for up to 12 treatment visits. The primary outcome is the percentage of target ulcers achieving complete wound closure within 12 weeks, and secondary outcomes include wound area reduction rates and pain assessment. As a post-marketing study, the trial also aims to collect data to support insurance reimbursement decisions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, NeoThelium FT could increase the proportion of chronic open wounds that close within 12 weeks, potentially speeding healing and reducing pain and need for further interventions.
How similar studies have gone: Other placental membrane and cellular/tissue-based products (dCHPM/CAMP/CTP) have shown mixed but generally promising results in improving healing of chronic wounds, so this approach is not entirely novel.

Subject has a known life expectancy of \<1 year 3. Subject is unable to comply with protocol treatment 4. Subject has major uncontrolled medical disorders in the opinion of the investigator, such as serious cardiovascular, renal, liver, pulmonary, autoimmune, palliative care, or inherited blood disorders that may affect wound healing. 5. Subject actively being treated for malignant disease or history of malignancy or radiation therapy at the site of wound 6.
