The main objective of this study is: To assess the efficacy and safety of EscharEx (EX-03 5% formulation) compared to placebo control,in debridement and wound bed preparation of Venous Leg Ulcers (VLU).
At least 216 eligible adult patients with VLU (with a surface area between 2 cm2 and 25 cm2, and wound age between 4 weeks and 12 months), will be randomized. The patients will be treated with IMP (either EX-03 5% or placebo) in a double blinded manner. Total duration of the study is up to 29 weeks: 1. Screening period (2 visits, 7 days apart), 2. Daily Visits Period - Debridement with IMP (up to 8 daily site visits within up to 2 weeks), 3. Weekly Visits Period - wound management (up to 13 visits within up to 12 weeks) + optional wound closure confirmation (up to 2 weeks). Wound will be man…
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Men or women, older than 18 years of age, 2. Patients with a VLU (determined by medical history, physical examination, and a documented ultrasound scan demonstrating venous insufficiency), 3. Wound is present for at least 4 weeks but no longer than 18 months, 4. The adherent necrotic/thick slough/fibrin non-viable tissue area, assessed following wound cleansing with wet gauze and either sterile saline or water and mild soap, at least 50% of the wound area (assessed by clinical evaluation), 5. Target wound surface area is in the range of 2-25 cm2 (assessed by eKare inSig…
