A study of EscharEx gel for venous leg ulcers
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a special gel called EscharEx that removes dead tissue from leg ulcers. It compares EscharEx to a placebo (inactive gel) and to a standard treatment. Participation may help your wound heal and reduce the need for other procedures.
