About this study
Currently, there is no standard approach for the treatment of patients with venous stasis ulcers, and no means of accounting for the genetic factors that may contribute to a patient's response to different therapeutic interventions. In order to determine whether, or to what extent, genetic profiling of venous stasis ulcers can stratify patients according to their potential for disease progression or healing, and guide preventive strategies and levels of therapeutic interventions, the study will involve retrospective genetic profiling of patients with a healed or persistent venous stasis ulcer as a means of determining the efficacy of current therapies, and to establish a future prospective evaluation of treatment algorithms based on genetic phenotype and variation. Results obtained from the 2 aforementioned groups of participants will be compared with those of a control group of participants who have no history of venous ulcer nor peripheral vascular disease.

Read the detailed description
A blood specimen will be drawn, medical and medication history taken, and wound/s will be assessed and followed for 2 years in regard to the enrollees w/active venous ulcer/s or healed venous ulcer/s.
A venous duplex ultrasound of right and left lower extremities will be done at no cost, a blood specimen will be drawn, and medical and medication history will be taken in regard to control group enrollees.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Currently, there is no standard approach for the treatment of patients with venous stasis ulcers, and no means of accounting for the genetic factors that may contribute to a patient's response to different therapeutic interventions. In order to determine whether, or to what extent, genetic profiling of venous stasis ulcers can stratify patients according to their potential for disease progression or healing, and guide preventive strategies and levels of therapeutic interventions, the study will involve retrospective genetic profiling of patients with a healed or persistent venous stasis ulcer as a means of determining the efficacy of current therapies, and to establish a future prospective evaluation of treatment algorithms based on genetic phenotype and variation.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Ulcer healing (time frame: Assessment made when batch of samples (360) obtained). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 May 2022.
