Wound Measurement Core Lab

Many ischemic limb clinical trials with wound measurements as primary and secondary endpoints have shown significant variability in the collection and assessment of the wound area.  Typically, wounds are measured and assessed inconsistently among the clinical trial sites.

At CPC, we have developed our Wound Measurement Core Lab to decrease the potential for error and variability.  Wounds are measured by the site in a standardized method and then sent to CPC for assessment.  These measurements can be made using the traditional wound tracing method and/or standardized photographic measurements.  The wound area and wound type are then assessed by qualified personnel at CPC.  Each wound is put through a secondary review to ensure accuracy and consistency.  By standardizing the collection and measurement of wounds, CPC has developed a unique solution for minimizing the variables which can cause errors, thus, improving the ability of detecting a treatment effect of an investigational product or treatment.
