The aim of this trial is to demonstrate the effectiveness of complete wound healing in a prospective, open-label, cohort-controlled trial in which venous leg ulcers (VLU)n will be treated using AutoloGel and case-matched against a concurrent cohort of patients receiving undefined Usual and Customary Care (UCC)
Recurrence of ulcers in the leg is common; two-thirds of patients are likely to experience recurring ulcers after the first ulcer. While treatment of the underlying venous disease, depending on the mode of treatment, can lower the recurrence rate in many patients, it does not affect recurrence. AutoloGel is a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) gel used in the treatment of non-healing chronic wounds. The aim of this trial is to demonstrate the effectiveness, measured as complete wound healing, in a prospective, open-label trial in which venous leg ulcers will be treated using AutoloGel and standard of care and case-matched against a concurrent cohort of patients receiving undefined Usual and Customary Care

Time to wound closure
Primary endpoint is time to wound healing after 12 weeks com pared with case matched controls receiving standard of care. 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).
Time frame: 12 weeks
Proportion of wounds healed
Comparison of proportion of wounds healed over 12 weeks
Time frame: 12 weeks
Frequency of ulcer recurrence
Frequency of ulcer recurrence over a 1 year period post treatment; recurrence is defined as any new ulcer appearing on the leg after the index ulcer has healed.
Time frame: 1 year
Change in Quality of Life with Chronic Wounds (W-QOL) Score
Change in mean Quality of Life with Chronic Wounds (W-QOL) score between baseline and at 12 weeks
Time frame: 12 weeks
Number of patients with adverse events as a measure of tolerability
Frequency and severity of treatment emergent adverse events
Time frame: 12 weeks
