Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adult patients (≥18 years) with an infected venous leg ulcer meeting CDC/TILI criteria, ABPI >0.8 and <1.2, and with slight to moderate wound exudation (or high exudation that decreases after a 7-day run-in) are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with exposed cartilage, contraindications to compression therapy, persistent high exudation after run-in, known allergy to dressing components, or participation in interfering trials are unlikely to benefit or are ineligible.

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

What this trial studies

This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, parallel-group comparison of two PHMB‑impregnated biocellulose dressings in patients with infected venous leg ulcers. Eligible adults with slight to moderate exudation are randomized to receive either Suprasorb X+PHMB Pro (with an added polyethylene film) or Suprasorb X+PHMB for 21 (±2) days or until complete epithelialization, while continuing compression therapy and systemic antibiotics if needed. Patients with high exudation may enter a 7-day run-in using a superabsorbent dressing and monitored compression and are re-assessed for randomization if exudation decreases. Wound parameters are recorded at baseline, an interim visit, and end of treatment, and dressing changes may occur as clinically indicated.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the Pro dressing could speed wound closure or improve local infection control and exudate management compared with the standard PHMB dressing.

How similar studies have gone: PHMB‑impregnated and biocellulose dressings have shown promise in reducing bacterial load and managing exudate in smaller studies, but direct head‑to‑head randomized data comparing these specific dressing formats are limited.
