Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a “total contact” soft cast bandage helps people heal diabetic foot ulcers. You may be asked to get your leg wrapped and have regular follow-up visits so the ulcer can be checked closely.

This study tests if a special wound dressing (collagen matrix with antimicrobial) plus standard care helps diabetic foot ulcers heal better than standard care alone. It's for people with diabetes who have a foot sore that hasn't healed for at least 4 weeks.
This study compares different removable cast walkers (special boots) to see which is easier for people with diabetic foot ulcers to use. If you join, you'll try one of these boots and share your experience, which may help heal your ulcer while keeping you mobile.
This study tests whether special wound dressings (called CAMPs) can help heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers faster. If you have a hard-to-heal sore on your foot or leg, this trial may be an option.
This study compares several advanced wound treatments (called CAMPs) plus standard care to standard care alone for hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers. It aims to see if the extra treatments help wounds close faster and prevent complications.
This trial studies whether a special “smart boot” can help people with diabetic foot ulcers rest (offload) the affected foot as they should. Better offloading may improve healing by reducing pressure on the wound.
This study tests a new skin graft product called DermGEN™ to help heal diabetic foot ulcers in First Nations people. You would need to wear a cast to keep pressure off the ulcer and be willing to follow the treatment plan.
