Phage treatment for infected diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special virus (phage) that kills bacteria can help heal infected foot ulcers in people with diabetes, when added to standard care. It may help reduce infection and improve healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
- You have a foot wound (below the ankle) that has been open for more than 2 weeks.
- The wound is infected with a specific bacteria called S. aureus (staph), and it's not a bone infection.
- The wound is not too deep or too large (the doctor will measure it).

This trial studies an approach to treat bacteria living in a diabetic foot ulcer and help prevent the ulcer from coming back. You may be able to join if you have an open diabetic foot ulcer and good blood flow to the wound.
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.
This study tests a new treatment called a phage cocktail (viruses that kill bacteria) for skin infections caused by bacteria that don't respond well to regular antibiotics. The treatment is applied directly to the wound to see if it's safe and effective.
This trial tests a new treatment using viruses that attack bacteria (called phages) to fight infections in knee or hip replacements caused by Staphylococcus aureus. It may help people who still have the infection after a surgery to clean the joint, called DAIR.
This study aims to find out which bacteria are causing your diabetic foot infection by testing a small sample from your wound. This could help doctors choose better treatments for you and others with similar infections.
This trial tests a treatment using viruses that attack bacteria to fight a chronic infection in a joint replacement. It might help people whose joint infection has not cleared up with standard antibiotics or surgery.
