MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FirstString Research, Inc. today announced that it will present positive data from three Phase 2 trials of GranexinTM Gel for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), venous leg ulcers (VLUs) and for scar reduction at the upcoming International Gap Junction Conference (IGJC), July 13-18, 2013, in Charleston, SC. In each of the Phase 2 trials, GranexinTM Gel was well-tolerated and achieved the primary endpoint of the study with statistical significance. Patients treated with GranexinTM Gel demonstrated highly statistically significant improvements in mean percent wound closure at four and twelve weeks, as well as in incidence and time to 100% wound closure for DFUs and VLUs. A significant reduction in scar formation of surgical incisions following laparoscopic surgery was observed at the study end-point of nine months post-surgery. GranexinTM Gel contains a synthetic peptide, ACT1, which enhances wound healing through a multi-effect mechanism that promotes a healthy regenerative state in tissues.
