SUMMARY

This study intends to demonstrate the superiority of PICO treatment when applied up to 12 weeks, versus Standard of Care (SOC) in the treatment of hard to heal Venous Leg Ulcers (VLU) by community-based practitioners. The primary endpoint is the incidence of confirmed healed VLUs at 12 weeks or before, in the PICO treatment group versus the SOC group. The study hypothesis is based on the Kirsner study (Kirsner R, Dove C, Reyzelman A, Vayser D, Jaimes H. A prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial on the efficacy of a single-use negative pressure wound therapy system, compared to traditional negative pressure wound therapy in the treatment of chronic ulcers of the lower extremities. Wound Repair Regen. 2019 Sep;27(5):519-529)), which compared PICO treatment to traditional NPWT (t-NPWT); the ITT analysis in the subgroup of patients with VLU showed 45.1% wound closure (confirmed wound healing) at 12 weeks in the PICO group as compared to 28% in the t-NPWT group, yielding a difference of 17.1%, 95% Confidence Interval = (-1.9%;+35.4%). For our study, the Sponsor made the assumptions that the t-NPWT healing proportion (28%) can be used as conservative estimate for the control group proportion and that the PICO group should provide at least a 17% improvement over standard of care. Adaptative design is chosen to adjust the sample size using the re-assessment size method to preserve alpha risk (α) level.

Treatments
Experimental: PICO Treatment Arm
The maximum duration for treatment with PICO will be 12 weeks.~PICO treatment will be discontinued if the wound does not respond to treatment after 2 weeks according to predefined criteria, if the wound gets worse at any time, if the wound is 100% epithelialized, or if the wound presents advanced healing, which will be assessed using predefined criteria. In the latter case where the VLU is determined sufficiently healed according to the pre-specified criteria in the protocol, subjects will be switched to Standard of Care (SOC).~Wound care treatment at home will be done by home care nurses. Compression therapy will be maintained throughout the entire patient's follow-up.
Active_comparator: Standard of Care Treatment Arm
Wounds are treated with appropriate traditional dressings throughout the study based on wound condition and healing trajectory. Wound care treatment at home will be done by home care nurses. Compression therapy will be maintained throughout the entire patient's follow-up.
