The trial is expected to test more than 400 patients with venous leg ulcers in a randomized study. As part of the study, one group of patients will receive weekly Dermagraft applications, along with compression dressings, while the other group will receive only the weekly compression dressings.

Advanced BioHealing is located in Westport, Conn., and maintains a 70,000 square-foot manufacturing plant in La Jolla, Calif.
