Antibiotic or antiseptic treatment for chronic leg ulcers
Part of 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.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 or older and can sign informed consent
- You have a chronic venous leg ulcer with signs of local (non-spreading) skin infection
- Your ulcer is at least 5 cm² but less than 200 cm²
- Your blood sugar is not poorly controlled (diabetes should be treated; HbA1c must be 12 mg/dL or lower)
- You do not have certain infection types or resistant bacteria, and you’re not planning antibiotic pills/IV antibiotics during the study

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 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.
This trial tests if a special treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) can help heal foot ulcers in people with diabetes and poor circulation in their legs. The goal is to see if it improves wound healing compared to standard care.
This trial tests a new antibacterial wound dressing to see if it helps heal diabetic foot ulcers safely. It may be an option if your ulcer has been there for over 4 weeks and is not severely infected.
