This is a randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of HYALOMATRIX in conjunction with standard of care vs. standard of care alone in treating venous leg ulcers.
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 (SOC) alone, or SOC plus Hyalomatrix. The study includes a crossover component for subjects in the SOC arm. At treatment visit 13 (approximately 84 days post-randomization), SOC arm subjects not having achieved complete wound closure, and still meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria, are eligible to crossover to the IP arm (SOC plus Hyalomatrix). Crossover subjects will begin IP arm treatment with weekly Hyalomatrix applications for up to 12 treatment visits. The subject will continue follow-up per the original schedule. As this is a post-marketing study, it will gather information regarding the efficacy of treatment while also supporting insurance reimbursement decisions.

Complete Wound Closure
The primary endpoint will be the percentage of target wounds that achieve complete wound closure within 12 weeks.
Time frame: 1-12 weeks
Weekly Percentage Area Reduction
The percentage reduction in wound area from 1-12 weeks will be measured weekly using digital photographic planimetry and physical examination.
Time frame: 1-12 weeks
Pain Assessment
Change in pain associated with the target wound will be assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale throughout the study. Numeric Rating on a scale of 0-10. o is No pain and 10 is the worst possible pain.
Time frame: 1-14 weeks
