This is a randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of NeoThelium FT in conjunction with standard of care vs. standard of care alone in treating pressure injuries.
This research will take place across multiple medical centers, where both researchers and participants will know which treatment is being used (open label). Patients who agree to participate and meet the study requirements during screening will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: either standard of care alone, or standard of care plus NeoThelium FT. As this is a post-marketing study, it will gather information about how effective the treatment is in treating pressure injuries. All subjects will complete two week screening phase prior to being randomized into a treatment arm. Treatment arms will consist of NeoThelium FT in conjunction with standard of care, vs. standard of care alone. The primary endpoint will be the percentage of target ulcers that achieve complete wound closure within 16 weeks. Secondary endpoints consist of wound area reduction rates, time to closure, follow-up closure, and pain assessment.

NeoThelium FT is a dehydrated wound covering derived from donated human placental tissue. NeoThelium FT is a dual-layer membrane with amnion and chorion combination layers.
Complete Wound Closure
The primary endpoint will be the percentage of target ulcers that achieve complete wound closure.
Time frame: 1-16 weeks
Percentage Wound Area Change
The percentage change in wound area from TV-1 to TV-13 will be measured weekly using digital photographic planimetry and physical examination.
Time frame: 1-16 weeks
Time to Closure
Average number of grafts and/or weeks used to achieve wound closure
Time frame: 1-16 weeks
Follow-Up Closure
Number of wounds remaining closed during the 2-week follow-up
Time frame: 2 weeks
Pain Assessment
Change in pain associated with the target ulcer will be assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale at designated time points
Time frame: Day 0, Day 14, Day 35, Day 56, Day 77, Day 98, Day 112
