Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT07364630Recruiting
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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - NCT07185009RecruitingPhase 3
Testing duvakitug for long-term ulcerative colitis control
This study tests the long-term safety and effectiveness of an experimental drug called duvakitug in people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. It is for those who have already responded well to treatment in a previous study and need ongoing care.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 16–80 - 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 - 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+ - NCT07577856RecruitingPhase 3
Testing JNJ-78934804 for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis
This study tests a new drug called JNJ-78934804 to treat ulcerative colitis (inflammation of the colon and rectum) that is moderate to severe and hasn't responded well to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this drug can reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.
Uniontown, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07184996RecruitingPhase 3
Study of duvakitug for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis
This study tests a new drug called duvakitug for people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis that hasn't been helped enough by standard treatments. The goal is to see if this medicine can reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 16–80 - NCT07158242RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a Medication for Children with Active Ulcerative Colitis
This study is testing an investigational medication for children with ulcerative colitis that has not responded well to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective in reducing symptoms.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 2–17 - NCT06937086RecruitingPhase 3
Mirikizumab plus tirzepatide for UC with obesity
This study tests whether adding mirikizumab to the weight-loss drug tirzepatide helps people with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis who also have obesity or overweight. It aims to see if the combination reduces bowel inflammation and helps with weight management.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–70 - 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+ - 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.

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.

Common questions
- Are there ulcer clinical trials in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 46 recruiting ulcer studies with a site in Pennsylvania, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a ulcer study in Pennsylvania?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a ulcer trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
