Study summary

This prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled clinical study compares Affinity® plus SOC to SOC alone in subjects with VLUs. Affinity® will be used along with standard of care on venous leg ulcers (VLUs) of greater than 4 weeks which have not adequately responded to conventional ulcer therapy.

Read the detailed description

Two hundred (200) subjects with a chronic VLU ranging in size from 2cm2 and 80 cm2 will be randomized 1:1 to either Affinity® and SOC or SOC alone following the 28 day screening period. Following screening and randomization, subjects shall be seen weekly for up to 24 weeks. For subjects that heal prior to week 24, a healing confirmation visit shall occur two weeks later to confirm maintenance of complete wound closure.

Subjects that are randomized into the SOC group whose VLU has not healed by week 12 may be crossed over to receive Affinity® and followed for an additional 12-14 weeks.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Ulcers of venous origin, as clinically determined by clinical signs and symptoms (e.g. hyperpigmentation of the surrounding skin, history of swelling, varicosities, lipodermatosclerosis and/or dermatitis) or other assessments (e.g. venous reflux test).
  2. Venous insufficiency ulcers, of at least 1-month duration, which have not adequately responded to conventional ulcer therapy
  3. Venous insufficiency ulcers between 2 cm2 and 80 cm2
  4. Partial- or full-thickness VLU, including ulcers with tissue damage that extends through the epidermis and into the upper epidermis (papillary dermis), or into the deep dermis (reticular dermis) but not through muscle, tendon, capsule, or into bone.
  5. Subjects are between 18 and 85 years of age.
  6. IRB approved Form is signed before screening and treatment.
  7. Subject is expected to be available for 24 week follow-up
  8. Females of must be practicing an acceptable means of as determined by the investigator.
  9. Subjects with bilateral ulcers may be enrolled.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) of \<0.65
  2. Venous insufficiency ulcers less than 2cm2 or greater than 80cm2
  3. Vasculitis, severe rheumatoid arthritis, and other collagen vascular diseases
  4. medical conditions which would impair wound healing, as determined by the investigator, including renal, hepatic, hematologic, neurologic or immune disease
  5. Signs and symptoms of infection, cellulitis, osteomyelitis
  6. Necrotic or avascular ulcer beds

  8. Subjects receiving hemodialysis or have uncontrolled diabetes
  9. Subjects who are currently receiving or have received at any time within one month prior to entry into the study, (>15 mg/day), agents, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. Anticipated use of the above agents will exclude subjects from entry into the study.
  10. Subjects enrolled in other wound drug studies within the past three months, or device studies within the past 30 days.
  11. Subject is pregnant or breast feeding.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

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.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Affinity plus SOC

    Affinity is an aseptically processed, hypothermically stored fresh allograft with viable cells, growth factors/cytokines, and extracellular matrix (ECM). Affinity is human allograft tissue that is regulated as a Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Product (HCT/P) as defined by FDA 21 CFR Part 1271. Affinity may be applied as a wound covering to partial- and full-thickness acute and chronic wounds

    Other: Affinity

  • No intervention
    Standard of Care (SOC)

    Standard of Care (SOC) includes, but is not limited to, surgical debridement, aggressive infection management, offloading, and maintenance of appropriate cleansing at the time of each dressing change.

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 Jun 2021 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Mar 2023, 21 months after the start.

Of 66 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Varicose Ulcer, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 37. This study's planned 21 months is close to that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 133 studies reached it within 28 months; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 48.

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 Sep 8, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
