Antibiotic or antiseptic treatment for chronic leg ulcers
Part of Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a wound treatment using topical antibiotics or antiseptics to help chronic (long-lasting) leg ulcers heal and control local infection. It may help people whose ulcers are not responding well to standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a gel made from a small sample of your own blood to help heal chronic leg ulcers that have not improved with standard care. The gel is applied to the wound and may help it heal faster.
This study tests whether a treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma or platelet-rich fibrin) can help heal chronic skin ulcers better than standard care. If you have a non-healing ulcer that fits the size and duration criteria, and you are generally healthy, you may be able to participate.
This trial tests if a gel made from your own blood (platelet-rich fibrin) can help heal chronic leg ulcers that are not infected. It may be a good option if you have a long-lasting leg ulcer without signs of infection.
This study tests a treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) to help heal chronic diabetic foot ulcers. It aims to see if this treatment can improve wound healing compared to standard care.
This trial tests a special gel made from your own blood (platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF) to help heal diabetic foot ulcers that are not getting better with standard care. It may be an option if you have a mild-to-moderate ulcer on the bottom of your foot with good blood flow and no infection.
This trial tests if a new version of a special dressing (Suprasorb X+PHMB Pro) works better than the current version for treating infected venous leg ulcers. It may help people with mildly to moderately draining wounds that are infected.
