Modified Platform Trial Assessing Multiple Umbilical Cord-based CAMPs and SOC v SOC Alone in the Treatment of Hard-to-Heal VLUs

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of two dehydrated human umbilical cord-based medical devices, also defined as Cellular, Acellular, Matrix-like Products/skin substitutes, plus SOC versus SOC alone in achieving complete closure of hard-to-heal venous leg ulcers over 12 weeks using a modified platform trial design.

Study of Miro3D Wound Matrix for Healing Wounds and Ulcers in Outpatient Care

This clinical study is being conducted to evaluate how well the Miro3D Wound Matrix helps heal difficult wounds and ulcerations in an outpatient care setting. Miro3D is a biologic wound dressing made from porcine (pig) liver tissue. It is processed to remove all cells, creating a clean scaffold that can support the body's natural healing process. The goal of this study is to see how effective Miro3D is when used alongside standard wound care for helping wounds close and reducing pain and discomfort. The study is designed as a post-market, proof-of-concept trial, meaning the product is already commercially available, and researchers are evaluating how it works in real-world clinical settings. A total of up to 20 adult participants will be enrolled. Participants may have wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, or surgical wound dehiscence. These wounds may be complex in nature, including tunneling or undermining, which often makes them more difficult to treat. Participants will receive standard wound care along with weekly Miro3D applications for the first 4 weeks. If the wound is not fully healed after 4 weeks, Miro3D will then be applied every 2 weeks until healing is achieved or up to 12 weeks total. Throughout the study, participants will return weekly for wound assessments and to complete brief questionnaires about their pain levels and quality of life. The main goals of the study are: 1. To measure how much the wound size shrinks (known as percent area reduction or PAR). 2. To evaluate how much healthy granulation tissue (new tissue) forms in the wound. 3. To compare healing outcomes when Miro3D is used weekly versus every two weeks. 4. To understand how the treatment affects patients' quality of life, including pain, mobility, and emotional wellbeing. Each participant will be closely monitored by the clinical team throughout the 12-week study period. If a wound heals earlier, the participant will finish the study at that time. If the wound does not heal, the participant may return to their regular physician for follow-up care.

Real-World Effectiveness of Amniotic Membrane Allografts Versus Standard Wound Care in DFU, VLU, and PU

This observational study will evaluate the real-world effectiveness of four amniotic membrane-based products (Zenith™, Orion™, SurGraft FT™, Complete ACA™) in addition to standard care, compared with standard care alone. The study will use complete electronic health records (EHR) from multiple wound care centers across the United States (2022-2025) to generate study data for product-treated and propensity score-matched standard care cohorts for each product-indication combination. The overall study comprises 12 parallel sub-studies (one for each product-wound type combination), each aiming to answer whether adding the product improves healing outcomes versus standard care alone in that indication. The primary endpoint is the proportion of wounds achieving complete closure within 12 weeks, with subgroup analyses by wound severity measures, age groups, and number of product applications. Secondary outcomes are time-to-healing, early wound improvement (≥50% reduction in wound area by 4 weeks), wound-related complications, and subgroup analyses.

Efficacy of Carbonlife Amniotic Tissue Product in the Treatment of Chronic Wounds

Chronic wounds constitute a significant global health burden, affecting millions of individuals and contributing to increased morbidity, diminished quality of life, and rising healthcare costs. These wounds are characterized by delayed healing and are often associated with complex etiologies and prolonged treatment courses. This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness of Carbonlife amniotic tissue products (ATPs) compared to standard wound care in the management of chronic wounds. A prospective, controlled clinical trial will be conducted across diverse care settings and patient populations with varying wound etiologies. Participants will be stratified by wound type and treatment environment to enable subgroup analyses. The primary endpoint will assess wound healing outcomes, while secondary endpoints will include quality-of-life measures and healthcare resource utilization. The study is designed to generate high-quality evidence regarding the therapeutic value of ATPs in chronic wound management. Stratified analyses will provide insights into the differential effectiveness of ATPs across clinical contexts. Findings are anticipated to have implications for clinical practice guidelines and healthcare policy, with the goal of improving patient outcomes and optimizing resource allocation in wound care.

HEAL-4: Real-World Effectiveness of 4 Amniotic Allografts Adjunctive to Standard Care in DFU, VLU, and PU

This retrospective multi-site observational cohort study uses electronic health records (EHR) from U.S. wound care centers to evaluate the effectiveness of four amniotic membrane allografts (Acesso DL, Acesso TL, Neostim DL, Neostim TL) when added to standard wound care for diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), venous leg ulcers (VLU), and pressure ulcers (PU). The primary endpoint is complete wound closure by 12 weeks. Secondary outcomes include time-to-closure, ≥50% wound-area reduction at 4 weeks, wound-related complications (infection, hospitalization, emergency department visits, and major/minor amputation).

Assessing Connected-Health, Pressure-Monitoring Technology for Improving Compression Therapy in Venous Leg Ulcer Treatment

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a connected-health, pressure monitoring technology (Tight Alright) to improve clinical outcomes of compression therapy in patients with venous leg ulcers (VLUs). Compression therapy is the standard of care for VLUs, but achieving and maintaining therapeutic sub-bandage pressure is challenging due to patient variability and lack of objective feedback. The Tight Alright system includes a wearable device that measures sub-bandage pressure at multiple points on the leg and transmits data to a mobile app and cloud database, enabling both guided compression application at the point-of-care and guided compression maintenance via remote monitoring. The study will be conducted at Parkview Noble Center for Wound Healing and will include two cohorts: a control group receiving standard unguided compression therapy with blinded device use (i.e. compression pressures will be blinded at the point of care but monitored remotely), and an intervention group using Tight Alright technology to guide compression application and reapplication. Outcomes will include wound healing rates, time to healing, pressure maintenance, patient adherence, and usability. The study aims to determine whether integrating connected-health pressure monitoring can improve consistency of compression therapy, accelerate healing, and enhance patient engagement in the treatment of venous leg ulcers

A Real-World Registry of Chronic Wounds and Ulcers

WOUNDJOURNEY is a longitudinal, real-world, observational registry designed to capture the full clinical course and patient journey associated with chronic wounds and ulcers. Data are collected during routine care from over 1,400 clinicians across the USA and Puerto Rico using a highly structured certified electronic health record (EHR) or electronic data capture (EDC) system. Data are transmitted daily to the U.S. Wound Registry (USWR), a CMS-recognized Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR). The registry captures real-time, research-ready data on patient demographics, comorbidities, wound characteristics, standard-of-care treatments, complications, and advanced therapeutics. It supports robust, fit-for-purpose real-world evidence generation by enabling risk-adjusted outcome analysis, comparative effectiveness research, and quality improvement across diverse sites of care.
