Recruiting studies in California
- 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.
Fresno, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06453187Enrolling by invitation
Testing wound dressings for diabetic and vein ulcers
This study tests whether special wound dressings (called CAMPs) can help heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers faster. If you have a hard-to-heal sore on your foot or leg, this trial may be an option.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT07701590Recruiting
New wound dressings for hard-to-heal leg and foot ulcers
This study tests a special amniotic membrane wound dressing compared to a synthetic wound matrix for stubborn diabetic foot ulcers or venous leg ulcers. It may help if your wound has not been healing well for over a month.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05588583Recruiting
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.
Castro Valley, CaliforniaAges 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 22–90 - 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06278935Recruiting
Adapting lifestyle offloading for diabetic foot ulcers
This trial tests a lifestyle-based offloading program for people with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). It aims to see if a tailored approach can help healing and prevent complications, using telehealth for support.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT06420245Recruiting
Amniotic membrane graft for diabetic foot ulcers
This study tests whether a special graft made from amniotic membrane can help heal diabetic foot ulcers. If you have a foot ulcer that hasn't healed in at least 4 weeks and is not infected or cancerous, this treatment may be an option for you.
Palm Springs, CaliforniaAges 50–85 - NCT06487780Recruiting
Preventing foot ulcers with a lifestyle program
This trial tests whether a lifestyle program can help people with diabetes avoid new foot ulcers. If you've healed from a foot ulcer in the last year, you may be able to join.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT06515093Recruiting
New skin grafts for diabetic foot and venous leg ulcers
This study tests two new skin graft products (PelloGraft for diabetic foot ulcers and SanoGraft for venous leg ulcers) to see if they heal wounds faster than standard care. If you have a hard-to-heal foot or leg ulcer, this trial may offer a new option.
Vista, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06550596Recruiting
Amnion membrane for diabetic foot ulcers
This trial tests a wound covering made from donated amniotic tissue (dehydrated human amnion membrane) placed on a diabetic foot ulcer that isn't healing. It aims to see if adding this membrane to standard wound care helps the ulcer close faster.
Thousand Oaks, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06681428Recruiting
Amniotic tissue treatment for diabetic foot ulcers
This trial tests whether an amniotic tissue treatment can help heal chronic diabetic foot ulcers that haven't improved with standard care. It focuses on a single ulcer below the ankle that has been present for more than 4 weeks but less than a year.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07046767Recruiting
Amnion grafts for slow-healing leg or foot ulcers
This trial tests if a special graft made from amniotic tissue can help heal chronic leg or foot ulcers that haven't improved much in the last month. It may be an option if you have a non-healing venous leg ulcer or diabetic foot ulcer that still shows some signs of healing.
Oxnard, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07116876Recruiting
Placental membrane vs standard care for diabetic foot ulcers
This study tests a special wound covering made from donated placental tissue to see if it helps diabetic foot ulcers heal better than usual care. It may be an option for people with diabetes who have a foot sore that hasn't healed after 30 days.
Castro Valley, CaliforniaAges 21–80 - NCT07209475RecruitingPhase 4
Amnio-Maxx for healing diabetic foot ulcers
This trial tests whether a special wound dressing called Amnio-Maxx can help heal foot ulcers in people with diabetes. You may qualify if you have a diabetic foot ulcer that hasn't healed much with standard care.
Burbank, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06328010Enrolling by invitation
Real-world data registry for wound care treatments
This study collects information on various wound types and how they respond to standard care. It aims to learn what works best for wounds that haven't healed after 4 weeks of treatment.
Riverside, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04460573RecruitingPhase 2
Using a smart boot to improve diabetic foot offloading
This trial studies whether a special “smart boot” can help people with diabetic foot ulcers rest (offload) the affected foot as they should. Better offloading may improve healing by reducing pressure on the wound.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07116174Recruiting
Testing a new amniotic membrane dressing for diabetic foot ulcers
This study tests a new wound dressing made from amniotic membrane, called Xcell Amnio Matrix, to see if it helps heal diabetic foot ulcers that have not healed with standard treatments. If you qualify, you would receive the dressing along with regular wound care.
Fresno, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07209358Recruiting
Study of a new treatment for diabetic foot ulcers
This trial tests a new product (EDX110) to help heal diabetic foot ulcers that haven't improved with standard care. It's for people with diabetes who have a non-infected or mildly infected ulcer on their foot.
Santa Ana, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06439667Enrolling by invitation
Home Exercise Program for Diabetic Foot Ulcers
This trial tests a home exercise program delivered by video to help heal diabetic foot ulcers. It's designed for people who can walk on their own and have a relatively new ulcer.

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.
