Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Cytori Celution System in Hungarian patients with chronic non-healing venous leg ulcers.

Description:

This motive trial can help to establish routine application of this internationally widely used device at University of Szeged. The primary outcome is the reduction rate of the wound size. The treatment response will be calculated from wound size before and after treatment. Any adverse events related to the study device will be monitored.

11. Active cancer during chemotherapy or radiotherapy, or recent cancer, if the remission had place less than 5 years before joining the study (except basal cell skin cancer)

12. Patient currently undergoing dialysis for renal insufficiency (serum creatinine =2 mg/dL)

13. In the opinion of treating physician, patient not expected to survive beyond 30 days

14. Subjects with psychiatric conditions that are anticipated to result in protocol noncompliance

15. Uncontrolled chronic disease

16. Patient with history of severe alcohol or drug abuse

17. Lack of patient's cooperation

18. Use with blood thinners within 8 weeks of enrollment

19. Systemic treatments with a possible effect on ulcers within 4 weeks prior to enrollment with the following exceptions:

1. Ustekinumab (within 16 weeks prior to enrollment)

2. Adalimumab, infliximab, alefacept (within 8 weeks prior to enrollment)

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Leg Ulcer
• Mesenchymal Stem Cells
• Ulcer
• Varicose Ulcer
• Venous Leg Ulcer

Intervention

Device:
• Venous leg ulcer treatment with adipous SVF
The Celution® System isolates approximately maximum 30 million SVF cells per 100 mL of adipose tissue to be processed. Approximately 1-3 million cells per injection (total 8-30) will be administered locally, in the target ulcer.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Reduction rate of the wound size	The treatment response will be calculated from wound size before and after treatment.	28 days
Secondary	Wound closure at Day 28	Percentage of patients achieving 50% wound closure at Day 28	28 days
Secondary	Improvement of Quality of Life (QoL) - EQ-5D-5L	The descriptive system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. The patient is asked to indicate his/her health state by ticking the box next to the most appropriate statement in each of the five dimensions. This decision results in a 1-digit number that expresses the level selected for that dimension. The digits for the five dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the patient's health state.	28 days
Secondary	Improvement Wound pain	Improvement Wound pain visual analogue scale (VAS)	28 days
