Fat cell injections for diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether injecting your own fat cells around a diabetic foot ulcer helps it heal. It may be an option if you have a diabetic foot ulcer that hasn't healed with standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have type 1 or type 2 diabetes with an HbA1c test result below 10%
- You have a diabetic foot ulcer that is not infected and is on your toe, the side or top of your foot, or your heel
- The ulcer is between 1 and 15 square centimeters (about the size of a pea to a large coin)
- You have nerve damage in your foot (neuropathy) as shown by a monofilament test
- You have been under a doctor's care for at least 4 weeks with proper wound cleaning and off-loading (keeping weight off the foot)

This trial tests whether stem cells taken from your own fat tissue can help heal foot ulcers caused by diabetes. The cells are applied to the wound, and the goal is to see if they improve healing and are safe.
This study tests whether a special preparation of your own fat tissue, processed with a device called SyntrFuge, can help heal diabetic foot ulcers. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective in closing these hard-to-heal wounds.
This Phase 1 study tests whether stem cells taken from fat tissue (after a small procedure) can help heal a long-lasting diabetic foot ulcer. It mainly aims to help ulcers that are limited to soft tissue and have good blood flow to the foot.
This trial tests whether adding a special treatment (cellular acellular and matrix-like products) to standard wound care helps diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers heal faster. It may be an option if you have a diabetes-related foot ulcer that hasn't healed with standard care.
This trial tests whether a special treatment using placental cells can help heal diabetic foot ulcers that haven't healed with standard care. If you qualify, you may receive this cell-based treatment to see if it helps your wound close faster and reduce the risk of complications.
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.
