The aim of this trial is to demonstrate the effectiveness of complete wound healing in a prospective, open-label, case-matched cohort-controlled trial in which pressure ulcers will be treated using AutoloGel and standard care and case-matched against a concurrent cohort of patients receiving undefined Usual and Customary Care.
Pressure ulcers (PUs) are a common problem in all patient care settings, especially long-term acute care facilities and nursing homes. AutoloGel is a platelet-rich plasma gel used in the treatment of non-healing chronic wounds. The results of AutoloGel to date when used to treat PUs have been promising. The aim of this trial is to demonstrate the effectiveness of complete wound healing in a prospective, open-label, case-matched cohort trial in which pressure ulcers will be treated using AutoloGel and standard of care to determine time to heal at 16 weeks. Comparison will be made with a case matched concurrent cohort of patients receiving undefined Usual and Customary Care.

Time to complete wound healing
Compare complete wound healing at 16 weeks for all pressure ulcers treated with AutoloGel plus standard of care with case-matched concurrent controls. 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: 16 weeks
Ulcer recurrence
Frequency of ulcer recurrence (recurrence defined as any new ulcer that has appeared since the Index Ulcer healed)
Time frame: 1 year
Proportion of healed ulcers
Proportion of patients with completely healed pressure ulcers
Time frame: 16 weeks
W-QOL (Quality of Life with Chronic Wounds) score
Change in mean W-QOL (Quality of Life with Chronic Wounds) score between baseline and 16 weeks
Time frame: 16 weeks
Number of patients with adverse events as a measure of tolerability
Frequency and severity of adverse events during the study
