Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage Change of the Leg Ulcer Area Measured by Planimetry at Week 6 Compared to the Ulcer Area at Baseline	The measure of the ulcer was to measure its greatest lenght and width with these two axes being at right angles. An average of three measurements was to calculated the area of the ulcer by the equation: Area= Lenght *Width * pi [3.142] / 4; All planimetry records (using double-sided tracing paper) were centrally assessed and read by a blinded person not aware of which treatment that was used.	Day 0 to Day 42
Secondary	Percentage Change of the Leg Ulcer Area Measured by Planimetry at Week 10 Compared to the Ulcer Area at Baseline	The measure of the ulcer was to measure its greatest lenght and width with these two axes being at right angles. An average of three measurements was to calculated the area of the ulcer by the equation: Area= Lenght *Width * pi [3.142] / 4; All planimetry records (using double-sided tracing paper) were centrally assessed and read by a blinded person not aware of which treatment that was used.	Day 0 to Day 70
Secondary	Total Number of Adverse Events		Day 0 to Day 70
