Study summary

This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled clinical study Of PuraPly® AM and standard of care (SOC) compared to SOC alone for the management of Stage II-IV pressure ulcers located in the gluteal, ischial, hip, sacral, coccygeal, and trochanteric, malleolus, or heel area.

Read the detailed description

This study seeks to demonstrate how PuraPly® AM performs against standard of care in Stage II-IV Pressure Ulcers through a prospective randomized controlled study design.

Subjects may be enrolled for up to 24 weeks; if healing occurs prior to week 24, a follow up healing confirmation visit shall occur two weeks later to confirm maintenance of complete wound closure and participation may continue up to 24 weeks. Subjects that are randomized to the SOC group have the opportunity to cross over and receive PuraPly AM at week 12 if their index ulcer has not healed; they will then be followed for an additional 12 weeks for up to 24 weeks.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Subject must be at least 18 years of age.
  2. Subject has a Stage II-IV pressure ulcer located in the gluteal, ischial, hip, sacral, coccygeal, and trochanteric, malleolus, or heel area.
  3. Pressure ulcer should be present for 4 weeks duration and have a ulcer surface area > 2cm2
  4. If multiple ulcers are present, one ulcer must be identified as the index ulcer.
  5. The index ulcer is free from active infection at the time of randomization.
  6. Willingness to off-load or pressure redistribute ulcer for duration of enrollment
  7. The index ulcer has been offloaded for at least 7 days prior to randomization.
  8. The index ulcer must have been present for at least 30 days at time of study enrollment.
  9. The index ulcer is separated at least 4 cm from all other ulcers at Study Day -7 and Study Day 0 (post-debridement) and has a margin of intact skin sufficient for anchoring of the required study dressing.
  10. Subject has read and signed the IRB/IEC approved Form (ICF) before screening procedures are undertaken.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Presence of signs and symptoms of infection at the index ulcer site, including but not limited to cellulitis, acute osteomyelitis, excessive exudate, gangrene or deep tissue infection
  2. The index ulcer is not free of necrotic tissue and is unable to tolerate debridement
  3. Non-enteric or unexplored sinus tract
  4. Concomitant conditions that in the judgment of the investigator would make the subject inappropriate for entry to the study
  5. Subject has a known sensitivity to porcine materials
  6. Subject has a known sensitivity to polyhexamethylenebiguanide (PHMB)
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

    Standard of Care (SOC) for Pressure Ulcers

Interventions

  • DevicePuraPly® Antimicrobial Wound Matrix

    PuraPly® AM is a class II medical device, that has been 510(k) cleared by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (K051647) and is intended for the management of acute and chronic wound management across a variety of wound types, including partial- and full-thickness wounds, pressure ulcers, surgical wounds, trauma wounds, venous and diabetic ulcers.

    Also known as: PuraPly® AM

  • OtherSOC for Pressure Ulcers

    SOC group will receive institutional standard of care which includes, but is not limited to, debridement, negative pressure wound therapy (i.e. VAC), ensuring perfusion and oxygenation, evaluating nutritional status and addressing deficits, offloading, keeping the ulcer bed moist with appropriate cleansing at the time of each dressing change. Standard dressings may include hydrocolloids, alginates, transparent film, foam, moist gauze dressings. In addition, a non-toxic topical antiseptic, may be used per NPUAP Clinical Practice Guidelines (2014) for SOC group only, if colonization is suspected.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Reduction in size of ulcer area between groups

    As measured from change in size from baseline

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

  2. Improvement in wound bed condition between groups

    As measured from change in status from baseline

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to complete wound closure between both groups

    As measured by time to complete wound closure from baseline

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

  2. Improvement in patient reported pain

    As measured change in status from baseline as assessed by the PAIN visual analogue scale (PAIN-VAS)

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

  3. Improvement in patient reported quality of life

    As measured by change in status from baseline as assessed by the Wound QoL (W-QoL), questionnaire on quality of life with chronic wounds

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

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 Sep 22, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
