Applied at Day 0, possible re-application at Week 6
To use the novel technology of microarrays to identify and characterize the molecular mechanisms through which Apligraf promotes healing of venous leg ulcers.
Time frame: 2 weeks
Determine how venous leg ulcer (VLU) wounds transition from chronic to acute wound healing
Time frame: 2 weeks
Examine how Apligraf rescues deficiencies of chronic wounds (VLU) and promotes transition from chronic to acute wound
Time frame: 2 weeks
Determine growth factors induced by Apligraf in the wound
Time frame: 2 weeks
Determine growth factors suppressed by Apligraf in the wound
Time frame: 2 weeks
Safety endpoints assessed by monitoring adverse events
Time frame: 5 months
