SolasCure's Phase IIa Trial Results on Aurase Wound Gel Featured in Top Wound Care Journal

3 June 2024
SolasCure, a biotech firm, has reported on its successful Phase IIa clinical trial of a breakthrough wound healing product, Aurase Wound Gel, in a renowned journal dedicated to wound care. The gel, which contains a medical maggot-derived enzyme called tarumase, is designed to facilitate the healing process by focusing on wound debridement and preparation. The trial's results, which have been peer-reviewed and published, indicate that Aurase Wound Gel is not only effective in promoting wound healing but also possesses a strong safety profile.

Chronic wounds pose a significant challenge to healthcare systems worldwide, affecting approximately 100 million individuals. The current standard treatments often leave much to be desired, with only a fraction of wounds achieving complete closure even after extended periods of care. SolasCure's innovative hydrogel aims to revolutionize this field by being the first to address all aspects of wound bed preparation, including debridement, moisture, infection control, and overall healing promotion.

The CLEANVLU trial, SolasCure’s initial foray into clinical testing, was conducted on patients with venous leg ulcers across multiple countries, including the US, UK, and Hungary. It involved a comparison of various concentrations of tarumase to establish a baseline for its use in enzymatic debridement. Over the course of four weeks, patients received treatment thrice weekly. The study confirmed that tarumase is effective in debriding wounds, with higher concentrations leading to faster and more comprehensive healing. Importantly, the gel was found to be safe, with no systemic absorption or effects on coagulation, and was applied painlessly without exacerbating patients' existing discomfort.

Upcoming Phase II studies are set to expand on these findings, employing randomized controlled trials over a more extended period and considering factors that may impact debridement and healing to further assess the efficacy of higher tarumase concentrations.

SolasCure's leadership is enthusiastic about the potential of Aurase Wound Gel to transform chronic wound management. The product stands out as it targets all elements of wound care in a single formulation. The publication of the Phase IIa trial results not only validates the data but also underscores the clinical potential of the gel to treat millions of patients globally in a safe and effective manner, fulfilling a pressing medical need. The company is currently seeking funding to support the next phase of clinical trials and product development.

The medical advisory board at SolasCure, led by a prominent dermatology professor, has also recognized the importance of the product's ability to provide complete and pain-free debridement, which is essential for successful wound healing and a significant unmet need in patient care. The positive safety and proof-of-concept results published bring hope to those suffering from chronic wounds, indicating that relief may be on the horizon.
