A Prospective, Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial
This study is a multi-center, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled dose-response study designed to evaluate VF-001-DP as an adjunct to SC, versus Placebo and SC in the treatment of chronic VLUs. The SC therapy for VLUs is a moisture retentive ulcer dressing and multi-layer compression therapy. Mepitel® and Coban2® have been chosen to be used as SC in this study. The study will have three (3) phases: Screening (2 weeks), Treatment Phase (13 weeks, with treatment up to 12 weeks) and Follow-Up (12 weeks). Only patients whose study ulcer does not exhibit more than 30% change (increase or decrease) in ulcer size post-debridement between Screening Phase Visit (S1) and Treatment Phase Visit (T1) and who continue to meet eligibility criteria at T1 will be randomized to receive either the Active Treatment (VF001-DP low or high dose plus SC) or the Control Treatment (Placebo plus SC) in a ratio of 1:1:1.

Colon Adjuvant Chemotherapy Based on Evaluation of Residual Disease
Currently, there are no biomarkers validated prospectively in randomized studies for resected colon cancer to determine need for adjuvant chemotherapy. However, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) shed into the bloodstream represents a highly specific and sensitive approach (especially with serial monitoring) for identifying microscopic or residual tumor cells in colon cancer patients and may outperform traditional clinical and pathological features in prognosticating risk for recurrence. Colon cancer patients who do not have detectable ctDNA (ctDNA-) are at a much lower risk of recurrence and may not need adjuvant chemotherapy. Furthermore, for colon cancer pts with detectable ctDNA (ctDNA+) who are at a very high risk of recurrence, the optimal adjuvant chemotherapy regimen has not been established. We hypothesize that for pts whose colon cancer has been resected, ctDNA status may be used to risk stratify for making decisions about adjuvant chemotherapy.
