Study summary

To assess the efficacy of the PRP Concepts Fibrin Bio-Matrix and compare its performance with usual and customary practice for the treatment of chronic non-healing pressure ulcers (PU).

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, randomized, single-blind, controlled, multi-center study for subjects undergoing PU treatment. Qualified subjects will be randomized (1:1); test group (PRP Concepts Fibrin Bio-Matrix) and control group (usual and customary practice). The study will consist of 3 periods: a screening period, an active treatment period, and a follow-up period (if healed). Approximately 250 subjects will be enrolled. Subjects will be ≥18 years of age with a PU (greater than 4 weeks duration). Each subject will be enrolled in the active treatment period for up to 12 weeks, or to closure of wound with a confirmatory visit 2 weeks after wound closure, whether such closure occurs at 12 weeks or earlier.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percent of wounds that have healed at 12 weeks

    To assess the efficacy and safety of an autologous PRP membrane matrix treatment by measurement and observation of time to and percent of complete wound closure, wound healing trajectory, and wound recurrence over time as compared to the standard of care non-healing wound treatment.

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  2. To assess by a validated interview-scoring tool, the changes in quality of life and ability to return to previous function/resumption of normal activities.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jan 2021 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2021, 11 months after the start.

Of 30 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Pressure Ulcer, half reached primary completion within 15 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 27. This study's planned 11 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 211 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 27.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 13, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
