Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Probably not a fit

Patients with a history of certain treatments or conditions affecting the target ulcer may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

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.
