Percentages of healed IDUs in patients treated with AT-G and in those who underwent SP. During 8 weeks of RCT follow-up, number of AT-G-treated patients who achieved IDU healing was significantly higher than number of patients who underwent SP (log-rank p < 0.0001), with hazard ratio of 22.2 (95% CI 9.97–49.42). At 10 weeks, all 12 patients of control group whose IDU did not heal received a rescue AT-G. In following 8 weeks, DU healing was observed in all of these patients.
