Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This clinical trial aims to test a new treatment method for nonhealing pressure ulcers, which are stubborn wounds that don't easily heal and can cause significant discomfort and complications for affected individuals. The study involves the use of a single-layer amniotic membrane product called XPURT, combined with the standard care (SOC) typically provided for these ulcers. The trial is conducted across multiple centers, involving up to 100 participants from 30 different care providers. By comparing the healing progress of ulcers treated with XPURT and SOC against those treated with SOC alone, the study seeks to find more effective solutions for managing these challenging wounds. Participants in the trial receive weekly treatments, where XPURT is applied along with the standard care methods. Each ulcer is carefully monitored and assessed every week to track its healing progress. The study continues for up to 20 weeks or until the ulcer is completely closed, which is confirmed by a follow-up visit two weeks later. An additional weekly visit can be scheduled if needed, mainly for changing dressings. This process ensures that any improvements in healing can be accurately measured, and the study aims to determine whether XPURT can enhance the healing process compared to standard treatments alone.

Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details

100 patients to be enrolled

Total number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.

Treatment Study

These studies test new ways to treat a disease, condition, or health issue. The goal is to see if a new drug, therapy, or approach works better or has fewer side effects than existing options.



Eligibility

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria: person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * The potential subject must be at least 18 years of age or older. * The potential subject must agree to attend the weekly study visits required by the protocol. * The potential subject must be willing and able to participate in the informed consent process. * The potential subject must have a full thickness pressure ulcer NPIAP stage 3 through stage 4 without exposed bone of greater than or equal to one month in duration located on the trunk (sacral, trochanteric, or ischial). * At enrollment, the potential subject must have a target ulcer with a minimum surface area of 2 cm2 and a maximum surface area of 100 cm2 measured post debridement with the imaging device. * The potential subject has adequate off-loading of the ulcer. Exclusion Criteria: * The potential subject is known to have a life expectancy of \< 3 months. * The potential subject's target ulcer is not a pressure ulcer. * The target ulcer is infected, requires systemic antibiotic therapy, or there is cellulitis in the surrounding skin. * The target ulcer exposes tendon or bone. * There is undermining at the wound edge or tunnelling. * There is evidence of osteomyelitis complicating the target ulcer. * The potential subject is receiving immunosuppressants (including systemic corticosteroids at doses greater than 10 mg of prednisone per day or equivalent) or cytotoxic chemotherapy or is taking medications that the PI believes will interfere with wound healing (e.g., biologics). * The potential subject has applied topical steroids to the ulcer surface within one month of initial screening. * The potential subject has glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) greater than or equal to 12% within 3 months of the initial screening visit(For diabetics only). * The surface area of the potential subject's target ulcer has reduced in size by more than 20% in the 2 weeks prior to the initial screening visit ("historical" run-in period). Imaging Device is not required for measurements taken during the historical run-in period (e.g., calculating surface area using length X width is acceptable). * The surface area measurement of the potential subject's target ulcer decreases by 25% or more during the active 2-week screening phase: the 2 weeks from the initial screening visit (S1) to the TV-1 visit during which time the potential subject received SOC. * The potential subject is a woman who is pregnant or considering becoming pregnant within the next 6 months. * The potential subject has end stage renal disease requiring dialysis. * The potential subject has participated in a clinical trial involving treatment with an investigational product within the previous 30 days. * The potential subject, in the opinion of the investigator, has a medical or psychological condition that may interfere with study assessments. * The potential subject was treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) or a Cellular, Acellular, Matrix-like Product (CAMP) in the 30 days prior to the initial screening visit. * The potential subject has a malnutrition indicator score \<17 as measured on the Mini Nutritional Assessment. * The potential subject has a known or suspected sensitivity to glutaraldehyde solutions.
