|
Drug: Placebo
It will be applied topically to the appropriate wound once a day for up to 84 days.
Other Name: Vehicle Control |
- Time to achieving 50% reduction in area of each index wound from Day 1 up to Day 84. [ Time Frame: up to Day 84 ]This primary endpoint will the time to achieving 50% reduction in area of each index wound from Day 1 up to Day 84, defined as date of the first study visit on which 50% reduction in index wound area is achieved minus date of Day 1 visit.
- Time to achieving 50%, 75%, and 100% (with drainage or without drainage) reduction in area of each index wound from Day 1 up to Day 84. [ Time Frame: up to Day 84 ]This secondary endpoint will the time to achieving 50%, 75%, and 100% reduction in area of each index wound from Day 1 up to Day 84, defined as date of the first study visit on which 50% reduction in index wound area is achieved minus date of Day 1 visit.
- Incidence of 50%, 75%, and 100% reduction and complete re-epithelialization without drainage in area of each index wound at the scheduled visits. [ Time Frame: up to Day 84 ]This secondary endpoint will be summarized by treatment using frequency counts and percentages.
- Change from Baseline and percent change from Baseline in surface area of each index wound at the scheduled visits. [ Time Frame: up to Day 84 ]This secondary endpoint will be computed for each treatment group as well as for treatment difference at each visit.
- Index wound characteristics at the scheduled visits. [ Time Frame: up to Day 84 ](inflammation/erythema, induration, crusting, exudate, cellulitis, and other abnormalities)
