Participant Flow

Screening commenced in May 2009 and ended in November 2010. Study sites included vascular surgery, dermatology, and podiatry clinics. A total of 913 potential subjects were screened across 58 study centers; 395 subjects were screen failures. A total of 537 subjects were enrolled across 49 study centers.

Prior to study enrollment, all subjects signing informed consent proceeded through a two-week run-in phase in which all subjects received standard-of-care study ulcer treatment. During this phase, any subject not meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria was considered a screen failure and removed from the study.
