What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.

By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This Phase 2 study tests whether weekly injections of MTX-001, a substance made from human amniotic fluid, can help heal venous stasis ulcers that haven't improved after at least 4 weeks of standard care. About 80 adults aged 18 to 90 with non-infected leg ulcers will receive either MTX-001 or a placebo. Researchers will track wound size reduction, complete closure, and pain changes over time.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
MTX-001 (human amniotic fluid)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with chronic venous leg ulcers that don't heal with standard care.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment involves weekly injections, and safety and effectiveness are still being studied.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients who voluntarily give written informed consent to participate in study * Males and female patients aged 18 to 75 years inclusive at Screening (date the patient provides written informed consent to participate in study) for Part 1 only * Males and female patients aged 18 to 90 years inclusive at Screening (date the patient provides written informed consent to participate in study) for Part 2 only * Patients having a full thickness ulcer that meets the following criteria: * Ulcer surface area ≥ 4 cm2 and \< 25 cm2 * Ulcer surface area hasn't increased or decreased by 40% or more, as assessed within 28 days prior to Baseline * Ulcer depth ≥ 0.2 cm at the deepest point of the wound, as measured by gently inserting a pre-moistened cotton tipped applicator into the deepest part of the wound. * Ulcer age \< 36 months (1095 days) prior to Baseline (for Part 2 only) * Received ≥ 28 days of standard, conventional wound therapy with a therapeutic high-compression (≥40 mmHg), multilayer bandaging (e.g. compression hose, custom garments, commercial kits, etc.) prior to the Baseline visit. If clinically necessary, patients may have received other wound treatments as needed (e.g., surgical debridement, pressure offloading, negative pressure and/or hyperbaric oxygen therapy). * Patient must have previously undergone venous hemodynamic correction via therapeutic compression (≥40 mmHg), surgical venous stripping, sclerotherapy, endovenous laser ablation, and/or endovenous radiofrequency ablation. * Patient must have adequate circulation to the affected extremity as demonstrated by the most recently measured ankle-brachial index (ABI) greater than or equal to 0.8 and less than or equal to 1.2 or triphasic or biphasic Doppler arterial waveforms at the ankle of the affected leg (as applicable). If patient has undergone lower extremity stenting or bypass where ABI would be considered unreliable to assess microvascular circulation, patients must have transcutaneous oximetry (TcPO2) \> 40 mmHg. * Patient must have VSU caused by underlying venous reflux disease with physiological reflux lasting greater than or equal to 500 milliseconds for superficial veins OR 1.0 seconds for deep veins, as confirmed by most recent Doppler ultrasound venous mapping from Baseline; historical results/confirmation within the previous three years allowed. * Patients who agree to follow the specified precautions to avoid pregnancy as follows: * Patients who are female of childbearing potential include any female patient who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone successful surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy) or is not postmenopausal (defined as amenorrhea for at least 12 consecutive months). For female patients of childbearing potential, a negative urine pregnancy test is required at Screening and Baseline prior to initiating Study Product. Female patients of childbearing potential must follow 1 of the following approaches: * Practice actual abstinence from intercourse * Have a partner with a vasectomy * Have an intrauterine device * Must use 2 different forms of highly effective contraception for the duration of the study, and for at least 48 hours after discontinuing study drug. Medically acceptable forms of effective contraception include approved hormonal contraceptives (such as birth control pills) or barrier methods (such as a condom or diaphragm). * Male patients with a partner of childbearing potential must use a condom during intercourse for the duration of the study, and for 48 hours after discontinuing study drug. * Patients who, in the opinion of the Investigator, are capable of communicating effectively with study personnel and are considered reliable, willing, and likely to be cooperative with protocol requirements and attend all required study visits. * Patients who have the capability to answer surveys and questionnaires written in English. Exclusion Criteria: * Patient must not be currently receiving topical antimicrobials and ulcer must not be infected as determined by clinical assessment according to The International Wound Infection Institute (IWII) criteria (e.g. odor, color, visual appearance) rather than culture. * Ulcer must not have exposed bone, tendon, or ligament. * Patient must not have another ulcer within 2 cm from the ulcer receiving investigational treatment. * Female patients who are pregnant, lactating, or planning to become pregnant during the study. * Patients actively receiving or received any skin graft substitute within 30 days prior to Baseline. * Patients receiving oral, systemically administered, or lower extremity injectable corticosteroid therapy within 60 days prior to Baseline. * Patients with angiographic or clinical signs of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) * Patients with underlying osteomyelitis. * Patients with an active infection or condition that would interfere with interpretation of study assessments. * Patients with an HbA1c \> 7.0% (Part 1 only) or HbA1c \> 10.0% (Part 2 only), as collected at Screening or in the previous 90 days prior to Screening. * Patients with current deep vein thrombosis (DVT) (Part 2 only) * Patients with chronic musculoskeletal disorder or any other disease that would limit ambulation. * Patients with a history of alcohol abuse or illicit drug abuse within 6 months of Baseline which, in the Investigator's opinion, would make the patient inappropriate for enrollment in a clinical study. * Patients with any other concomitant disease with life expectancy of \<12 months from Baseline * Patients with an unstable psychiatric condition or those not capable of understanding the objectives, nature, or consequences of the study, or who have any condition which, in the Investigator's opinion, would constitute an unacceptable risk to the patient's safety. * Patients who are currently receiving an investigational drug, have an investigational device in place, or who have participated in an investigational drug or device study within 90 days prior to Baseline. Participation in an observational study within 90 days prior to Baseline does not disqualify a patient from enrolling. * Patients who have received another regenerative therapy within 30 days prior to Baseline. * Patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) \> 45 (Part 2 only) or other clinical symptoms (e.g. edema) that do not allow for adequate therapeutic compression.
