Key clinical research results are as follows: In Phase IIIa trial, the clinical effective rates of the treatment group and positive control group were 90.4% versus 78.7% (p=0.0006); in Phase IIIb trial, the complete wound healing rates reached 64.3% versus 43.1% (p=0.0002). The therapeutic efficacy of the treatment group was statistically superior to that of the control group in both trials.
