• Pair-wise comparisons of inv product, ref product and untreated area on wound margin area
• Pair-wise comparisons of inv product, ref product and untreated area on wound margin area at each post-treatment assessment time point.
• Pair-wise comparisons of inv product, ref product and untreated area on wound healing assessed by visual scoring
• Descriptive statistics for visual assessment scores of inflammation/infection or allergy.
• Descriptive statistics for discontinuations.
• Descriptive statistics for quantity of product usage.

• Any history of drug addiction or alcoholism in the past 3 years
• Infectious diseases
• Subjects with expected poor compliance

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The size of the open wound area (including area covered with crusts) will be determined for defined time points by image analysis. The relative difference to baseline will be calculated. AUCs from first to last assessment time point will be calculated with trapezoid formula for the three treatments on these relative differences to baseline. Statistical analysis for the primary objective will be done on the AUC values. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Relative differences to baseline for open wound areas (including area covered with crusts) and actual wound size assessed by image analysis.
Original wound margin area ratio to baseline wound size and AUC for original wound margin area ratio to baseline wound size from first to last assessment time point calculated with trapezoid formula for the three treatments.
Visual assessment of wound healing at several time points.
Inflammation and allergy signs at all time points.
