- NCT06104969Recruiting
Biomarkers for active diabetic foot ulcers
This study is looking for people with diabetes who have an open foot or ankle ulcer. Researchers want to collect samples to find biomarkers, which are natural signs in the body that could help improve treatment and healing. It may be a good fit if you have a diabetic foot ulcer and are not currently in another drug trial for ulcers.

Tracking drainage from chronic leg or foot ulcers with a dressing
This study follows how much fluid (drainage) a chronic ulcer produces over time using a dressing called Mepilex Up. It may help clinicians better understand how this dressing manages “exuding” ulcers on the leg or foot.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05758545Recruiting
Device treatment for diabetic foot ulcers with poor blood flow
This trial tests whether COMS One is safe and effective for healing a specific diabetic foot ulcer. It may help people whose ulcer is not healing well, especially when blood flow to the foot is limited.
McKeesport, PennsylvaniaAges 22–90 - NCT06616844Recruiting
Patch for non-healing diabetic foot ulcers
This trial tests a special patch made from pig tissue (placenta) placed on diabetic foot ulcers that are not healing well. If you have a foot ulcer that has been present for 4 to 52 weeks and is not shrinking, you may be able to join the study.
McKeesport, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06938685Recruiting
Testing a new wound treatment for diabetic foot ulcers
This trial tests a new wound covering called NeoThelium FT to help diabetic foot ulcers heal. It is for people whose ulcer has not improved much with standard care and is not infected or too deep.
Bryn Mawr, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06449638Recruiting
Testing new wound treatments for hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers
This trial compares several advanced wound treatments (called CAMPs) plus standard care versus standard care alone for diabetic foot ulcers that are slow to heal. The goal is to see if adding these treatments helps ulcers close faster.
Jefferson Hills, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06826339RecruitingPhase 4
Advanced wound treatments for diabetic foot and leg ulcers
This study compares several advanced wound treatments (called CAMPs) plus standard care to standard care alone for hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers. It aims to see if the extra treatments help wounds close faster and prevent complications.
Monroeville, PennsylvaniaAges 21 years+ - NCT07086443RecruitingPhase 4
Testing a new wound therapy for diabetic foot ulcers
This study tests a new wound therapy for diabetic foot ulcers that haven't healed with standard care. It aims to see if the therapy helps these ulcers heal better and faster.
Monroeville, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06600724Recruiting
Testing a placental tissue dressing for diabetic foot ulcers
This study tests a special wound dressing made from a placental tissue (called PpLHACM) plus standard care, compared to standard care alone, to help heal diabetic foot ulcers that have not healed with usual treatment. It is for people with diabetes who have a moderate-sized foot ulcer without infection or exposed bone.
Monroeville, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05172089Recruiting
Treating recurring infection in diabetic foot ulcers
This trial studies an approach to treat bacteria living in a diabetic foot ulcer and help prevent the ulcer from coming back. You may be able to join if you have an open diabetic foot ulcer and good blood flow to the wound.

What taking part in a diabetic foot ulcer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
