Study genes and wound biology in chronic ulcers
Part of Genetic & congenital, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how genes and “chemical tags” on cells may contribute to chronic wounds that don’t heal. Your information and possibly samples from the largest wound could help researchers understand why ulcers last so long.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older
- Your wound has been present for more than 4 weeks
- You have a clinically diagnosed ulcer from diabetes or not-diabetes
- If you have more than one wound, the study focuses on your largest wound
- You can understand the study and agree to participate (informed consent)
- You can attend all study visits and follow the study activities

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 study looks at what makes some surgical wounds heal slowly, especially in people with diabetes. The goal is to understand the healing problem better so future treatments can be more effective.
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.
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.
This study looks at fluid from chronic (non-healing) wounds to understand why they don't heal and how biofilms (bacteria that stick to wounds) affect healing. The goal is to find better ways to treat these wounds.
This study collects information on various wound types and how they respond to standard care. It aims to learn what works best for wounds that haven't healed after 4 weeks of treatment.
