Overview
This is a prospective case series evaluating the efficacy and safety of NeoThelium FT Amnion Skin Graft in the Mangement of Venous Leg Ulcers
Description
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 begin SOC plus NeoThelium FT weekly applications. 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.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or Female, 18 years of age or older
- Subject has a medical diagnosis of venous leg ulcer or venous insufficiency with a lower extremity wound
- Subject has an venous leg ulcer without infection or clinically visible exposed bone
- Index wound is a minimum of 1 cm2 and a maximum of 30 cm2 at first treatment visit
- Adequate circulation if wound is location on the lower extremity demonstrated by an ABI of >0.7 and <1.3, or TBI of >0.6 within 30 days prior to informed consent OR an arterial ultrasound noted with patent circulation and without significant stenosis 90 days prior to the first treatment visit.
- Venous Leg Ulcer is being treated with compression therapy for 7 days prior to treatment visit 1
- Index wound is free of necrotic debris prior to NeoThelium FT application
- Female subjects of childbearing potential having a negative pregnancy test prior to the first treatment visit

- Concurrent participation in alternative clinical trial that involves investigational drug or HCT/P interfering with wound treatment and/or healing.
- Subject is pregnant or breastfeeding
- Subject with history of immunosuppressant treatment (systemic corticosteroids >10mg daily dose), cytotoxic chemotherapy, or topical steroid application to the ulcer surface for >2 weeks duration within 30 days prior to the first treatment visit; or anticipated use of the above during the course of the study
- Wound previously treated with CAMPs, tissue engineered, or scaffold materials within 30 days prior to enrollment
- Index ulcer suspicious of neoplasm in the opinion of the principal investigator
