Gibberellic Acid and Salt 1:1 knowna as MD920 adsorbed onto a non-adhesive wound contact layer dressing in the amount of 0.5mg/cm2.This equates to a total administered dose of 50mg of MD920. This wound contact layer will be applied weekly to the ulcer. Multi-layer compression bandage will be changed weekly. The treatment period will consist of 12 weekly applications of MD920 and compression bandage changes.
