What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of TR987 0.1% gel combined with Standard of Care compared to Standard of Care alone in treating non-healing Venous Leg Ulcers (VLUs). It is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter study lasting 16 weeks, focusing on the complete closure of the target ulcer. Secondary endpoints include pain level changes and ulcer area reduction over the treatment period. The study aims to provide insights into both the efficacy and safety of the gel treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve healing rates for patients with venous leg ulcers.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using similar topical treatments for wound healing, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
