Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT07364630RecruitingPhase 4
Placental membrane trial for diabetic and venous leg ulcers
This study tests whether a special wound dressing made from human placental membrane can help heal diabetic foot ulcers or venous leg ulcers that did not close with standard care. It is for people who were in the BIOCAMP trial and whose ulcer remained open after 12 weeks of standard treatment.
Philidelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07089602RecruitingPhase 4
Placental membrane for diabetic and venous leg ulcers
This trial tests if a placental membrane product, when added to standard wound care, helps heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers faster than standard care alone.
Philidelphia, 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+ - NCT06693570RecruitingPhase 4
Fish skin graft for hard-to-heal leg ulcers
This trial tests whether applying a special fish skin graft, along with standard compression therapy, helps heal leg ulcers caused by poor vein function (venous leg ulcers) that have not healed with standard care alone. If you have a nonhealing venous leg ulcer, this study may offer a new treatment option.
Monroeville, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06697925Recruiting
Venous leg ulcer closure durability study
This trial checks how long the closure of a venous leg ulcer lasts after healing. It is only for people who already took part in an earlier study (THOR trial) and had their ulcer fully close within 12 weeks.
Monroeville, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06707090RecruitingPhase 3
Tissue repair gel for venous leg ulcers
This trial tests a gel that helps heal leg ulcers caused by poor blood flow in the veins. It may help if you have a venous leg ulcer that has not healed on its own after at least 4 weeks.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06999590RecruitingPhase 4
Testing wound-healing products for stubborn bedsores
This trial tests different wound-healing products (called CAMPs) to see if they work better than standard care for hard-to-heal pressure ulcers (bedsores). It might be a good fit if you have a long-lasting stage 3 or 4 bedsore on your trunk that is not infected.
Monroeville, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04844606RecruitingPhase 3
Mirikizumab for kids with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s
This study checks whether continuing mirikizumab (a medicine that calms gut inflammation) helps children with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease after prior study treatment. It aims to see if staying on the medicine is beneficial and safe over time.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 2–19 - NCT05496296Recruiting
Compare a powder dressing vs standard care for pressure sores
This study compares a transforming powder dressing to usual recommended wound care for pressure injuries at stages 2 to 4. It may help you find out whether the powder dressing heals these sores better or faster than standard treatments.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–85 - 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.
Kittanning, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07126886RecruitingPhase 4
Amniotic membrane for hard-to-heal pressure ulcers
This study tests a special wound covering made from amniotic membrane (the tissue that surrounds a baby in the womb) to see if it helps deep pressure ulcers heal faster. If you have a stage 3 or 4 pressure ulcer that hasn't improved with standard care, you may be able to join.
Monroeville, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07071519RecruitingPhase 3
Risankizumab for young people with ulcerative colitis
This study tests risankizumab (a medication that targets inflammation) in young people with ulcerative colitis who haven't improved enough on other treatments. It aims to see if risankizumab can help control symptoms and reduce bowel inflammation.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 2–17 - NCT06095128RecruitingPhase 4
Vedolizumab and tofacitinib study for ulcerative colitis
This trial tests if combining two medicines, vedolizumab and tofacitinib, helps control moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. It may be an option if other treatments, like anti-TNF drugs, haven't worked well for you.
Wexford, PennsylvaniaAges 18–65 - 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+ - NCT06588855RecruitingPhase 3
Study of afimkibart for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis
This trial is testing a new medication called afimkibart (RO7790121) for people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. It aims to see if this treatment can help reduce inflammation and improve symptoms in people who haven't had success with other therapies.
Uniontown, PennsylvaniaAges 16–80 - NCT06100289RecruitingPhase 3
Study of vedolizumab for kids with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease
This trial tests vedolizumab, a biologic medicine that reduces inflammation, in children and teenagers who have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease and have not responded well to other treatments.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 2–17 - NCT07196748RecruitingPhase 3
Icotrokinra for adults and teens with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis
This trial tests a new oral medication, icotrokinra, for people with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. It may be an option if you have not responded well enough to standard treatments or newer advanced therapies.
Harrisburg, PennsylvaniaAges 12 years+ - NCT05076175RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Oral ozanimod for children with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis
This trial tests whether an oral medicine called ozanimod can improve ulcerative colitis (UC) in children whose disease is moderate to severe. It’s meant for kids who didn’t fully respond—or couldn’t tolerate—standard UC treatments.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 2–17 - NCT05442567RecruitingPhase 3
Vedolizumab study for kids with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s
This Phase 3 study tests whether vedolizumab can help children with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn’s disease (CD) who improved on earlier treatment. It focuses on kids who can stay off steroid medicines and follow study visits and safety rules.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 2 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05608317Recruiting
Track healing of draining leg ulcers with a foam dressing
This study follows how a non-bordered foam dressing helps chronic leg ulcers that leak fluid (exuding). It mainly aims to see how the wound changes over time, and whether the dressing is comfortable and effective along with standard care.
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.

What taking part in a 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.
