Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Time to Heal
Aurix plus standard of care versus usual and customary care only. Complete wound closure is defined as skin re-epithelialization without drainage or dressing requirements confirmed at two consecutive study visits 2 weeks apart (FDA Guidance for Industry Chronic Cutaneous Ulcer and Burn Wounds - Developing Products for Treatment, 2006).
12 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Proportion of wounds healed
12 weeks

Study Arms (2)
Aurix + UCC
EXPERIMENTALSubjects will be treated on average twice a week for the first 2 weeks, and then, once a week thereafter while under active treatment, but actual frequency of treatment will be determined by the treating physician. All subjects will receive Aurix treatment and usual and customary care, which can include advanced therapeutics.
Usual and Customary Care
NO INTERVENTIONSubjects will be treated on average twice a week for the first 2 weeks, and then, once a week thereafter while under active treatment, but actual frequency of treatment will be determined by the treating physician. All subjects will receive usual and customary care, which can include advanced therapeutics.
Interventions
Aurix is a platelet-rich plasma gel used in the treatment of non-healing wounds. It will be administered twice weekly for 2 weeks then weekly.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Medicare eligible
- ≥18 years of age
- Proven venous disease
- The largest non-healing wound, if multiple wounds are present, or the single wound to be treated (Index Ulcer) that is located between and including the knee and the ankle
- For subjects with potentially multiple eligible VLUs, the largest ulcer will be selected as Index Ulcer for study. There must be at least 4 cm between the Index Ulcer and other ulcers; if all ulcers are closer than 4 cm, the subject should not be enrolled (screen failure)
- Debrided ulcer size between 2 cm2 and 200 cm2
- Subject has received UCC care for ≥ 2 weeks at treating wound clinic
- Demonstrated adequate compression regimen
- Duration ≥ 1 month at first visit
- Subject must be willing to comply with the Protocol, which will be assessed by enrolling clinician
You may not qualify if:
- Subjects known to be sensitive to Aurix components (calcium chloride, thrombin, ascorbic acid) and/or materials of bovine origin
- Presence of another wound that is concurrently treated and might interfere with treatment of index wound by Aurix
- Ulcer not of VLU pathophysiology (e.g., pure diabetic, vasculitic, radiation, rheumatoid, collagen vascular disease, pressure, or arterial etiology)
- Patients on chemotherapeutic agents or any malignancy in the wound area
- Subjects who are cognitively impaired
- Serum albumin of less than 2.5 g/dL
- Plasma Platelet count of less than 100 x 109/L
- Hemoglobin of less than 10.5 g/dL
- Subject has inadequate venous access for repeated blood draw required for Aurix Administration.
