Registry Trial of the Effectiveness of Platelet Rich Plasma for Chronic Non-Healing Wounds

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetic Foot Ulcers, Venous Ulcers, Pressure Ulcers

In brief

This study will examine differences in the process of wound-healing in patients treated with platelet rich plasma (a concentration of proteins derived from a patients own blood) applied to the wound as a gel; injected into the wound or surrounding tissue; or both; compared to patients treated with usual medical treatment . This study seeks to enroll patients who are 18 or older with a non-healing skin wound that is at least 30 days old. Only patients with Diabetic Foot Ulcers, Venous Ulcers, or Pressure Ulcers will be included in the study.

• Received systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressive agents, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), electrostimulation, growth factors, or any cell or tissue-derived products for wounds during the 30 days preceding the screening visit.
• Any chronic condition requiring the use of systemic corticosteroids 30 days prior to study entry and anytime during the course of the study.
• Received radiation therapy or chemotherapy within previous 6 months.
• Any malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer.
