Study Published in Wounds Journal Shows
Remarkable Wound Closure Performance with CollPlant's VergenixFG in the Treatment of Chronic Wounds with a 94% Median Wound
Area Reduction within 4-weeks
Ness Ziona, Israel, March 11, 2019 --
CollPlant (Nasdaq: CLGN), a regenerative medicine company, today announced results from a clinical study conducted with its
VergenixFG wound care product. The results were published in Wounds, a peer-reviewed journal focusing on wound care and wound research.
The paper titled, "A Novel Recombinant Human Collagen-based Flowable Matrix for Chronic Lower Limb Wound Management: First
Results of a Clinical Trial," presents data from a previously reported independent study conducted by physicians at several
wound care medical clinics and hospitals in Israel.
The advanced wound care treatment market
was estimated at $8.2 billion in 2017, with non-healing chronic ulcers posing a significant health concern and economic burden.
While animal-derived collagens have been used to treat chronic wounds, they fail to closely mimic the function of human collagen,
and can evoke immune response, as well as carry the risk of disease transmission.
VergenixFG is a unique flowable wound-filler
of truly human collagen derived from genetically engineered plants using CollPlant's proprietary process. Consequently, VergenixFG
accelerates the healing of chronic and acute wounds.
In the published study, twenty patients
with chronic lower limb ulcers were enrolled in a single-arm, open-label, multicenter trial through five treatment centers. Patients
underwent a single treatment with CollPlant's VergenixFG. Four weeks following treatment, nine wounds closed completely,
fifteen wounds exhibited a greater than 70% closure, and the median wound area reduction was 94%. Only one patient failed to respond
to treatment. All patients in the study reported a 50% reduction in pain.
Yehiel Tal, CEO of CollPlant stated, "This
study, conducted by an independent group of physicians, demonstrates that a single application of VergenixFG yields remarkable
wound closure results. Furthermore, comparing this study to other published studies conducted with animal-derived collagens reveals
that VergenixFG is more potent. VergenixFG is commercially available in Europe, and we are expanding our market presence to other
