• In 2023, the US had the highest number of diagnosed VLU cases among the 7MM, with numbers expected to rise by 2034.

• VLU affected more women than men in the US, a trend likely to continue during the forecast period.

• Older adults in the US showed the highest age-specific prevalence of VLU.

• Among EU4 and the UK, Germany had the most VLU cases, while Spain had the fewest.

• Overall, men were less affected by VLU than women in 2023.

• VLU treatment includes wound care, compression therapy, medications, and advanced therapies.

• Surgical options and adjunctive treatments like HBOT and NPWT are used for chronic cases.

• In May 2025, MediWound Ltd. (Nasdaq: MDWD) announced the publication of a peer-reviewed post hoc analysis in Wounds. The analysis draws on data from the company’s Phase II ChronEx clinical trial, which evaluated the safety and efficacy of EscharEx® in treating venous leg ulcers (VLUs) compared to collagenase ointment (SANTYL®), currently the only FDA-cleared enzymatic debridement agent available for dermal ulcers.

• In February 2025, MediWound Ltd. (Nasdaq: MDWD) announced the launch of VALUE, a pivotal global Phase III trial to evaluate EscharEx® for treating venous leg ulcers (VLUs).

• In December 2024, Merakris Therapeutics announced the start of enrollment for Part 2 of its Phase 2 trial (NCT04647240) testing Dermacyte® Amniotic Wound Care Liquid. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will enroll patients at approximately 10 US sites, with dosing beginning promptly. The injectable biologic is designed to aid healing in venous leg ulcers (VLUs).

• In September 2024, Merakris Therapeutics announced FDA approval to begin Part 2 of its Phase II clinical trial (NCT04647240) for Dermacyte® Amniotic Wound Care Liquid, a subcutaneous biological injection, after reviewing initial study results.

• In February 2024, MediWound announced positive results from a head-to-head comparison of EscharEx versus SANTYL within the ChronEx Phase II Randomized Controlled Study. The results demonstrated the superiority of EscharEx, a bromelain-based gel, over SANTYL, a collagenase ointment, in wound debridement, promotion of granulation tissue, and time to wound closure in patients with chronic venous leg ulcers (VLU).

• Leading companies in the venous leg ulcer market include Reponex Pharmaceuticals, Energenesis Biomedical, MediWound, Solascure Limited, TR Therapeutics, Promore Pharma AB, NovaLead Pharma, RHEACELL, and others.

• Emerging acute venous leg ulcer drugs include rhGM-CSF, ENERGI-F703, EscharEx, Aurase® Wound Gel, TR 987, Ropocamptide, NLP328, APZ 2, and others.

• The increasing prevalence of venous leg ulcers and ongoing advancements in therapeutic options are driving the demand for more effective treatment approaches.

Venous Leg Ulcer Overview

Venous Leg Ulcers (VLUs) are chronic, non-healing wounds that typically occur on the lower legs due to chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). They represent the most common type of leg ulcer and are a major health burden, especially in aging populations. VLUs are primarily caused by elevated venous pressure resulting from valve dysfunction in the leg veins, leading to blood pooling, inflammation, and eventual skin breakdown.

Clinically, VLUs present as shallow, irregularly shaped wounds, often located around the medial malleolus, with symptoms such as swelling, aching, and skin discoloration. They are often recurrent and slow to heal, significantly impairing patients’ quality of life.

Management of VLUs involves a multifaceted approach, including compression therapy (the cornerstone of treatment), wound care, pharmacologic agents, and in some cases, surgical or endovascular interventions. Despite available treatments, healing can be slow, and recurrence rates remain high, emphasizing the need for innovative therapies and personalized care.

Recent advancements in biologics, enzymatic debridement agents, and adjunctive treatments such as negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) are reshaping the treatment landscape. With growing awareness and better diagnostic tools, early intervention and improved outcomes are becoming increasingly achievable.
