I have a colostomy, about 1" opening, and for 8 years I had no problem with my pouches. Then for 3 or 4 months I can't seem to have a bag on for more than a day, and there is leakage. What is deep convexity and should I have different kind of pouches that have a deep convexity? Would that help? Thank you.

Healthpoint Biotherapeutics (Fort Worth, TX) announced the initiation of a Phase lll clinical trial investigating the efficacy of HP802-247 for the treatment of venous leg ulcers. HP802-247 is an investigational allogeneic living cell bioformulation containing keratinocytes and fibroblasts. The study is designed to evaluate complete wound closure in subjects receiving HP802- 247 plus compression therapy compared to those receiving vehicle control plus compression therapy over the 12-week treatment period.
The North American study is a randomized, double-blind study involving subjects 18 years of age and older with venous leg ulcers of at least 6 weeks but not more than 24 months duration. The ulcers must be between 2 cm2 and 12 cm2 in area at presentation. Approximately 440 subjects will be enrolled across 45 investigational centers in the United States and Canada.
