PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 Weeks

Population: Sample size originally set at 100 to provide 80% power, a=0.05. Interim analysis when enrollment reached 50 indicated results would not change with additional enrollment. Intent-to-treat used for primary inference; Missing values imputed by method of population mean and last observation carried forward (wound area).

The primary efficacy endpoint was the percent change in wound area from baseline to completion of the 4-week treatment phase and the 8-week follow-up period
