Reported findings and study design
86 evaluable patients completed a randomized evaluator-blinded venous-ulcer trial.
| Measure | Result | Comparison, timing and statistics |
|---|---|---|
| Ulcer-size reduction | No difference between copper-tripeptide cream and vehicle | Silver sulfadiazine reduced ulcer size more than either |
Completer count is not necessarily the randomized enrollment denominator. A specific formulation and venous-ulcer setting; neither a universal benefit nor a universal lack of effect follows.
