Skin graft for diabetic foot ulcers in first nations people
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 1 or type 2 diabetes that is fairly well controlled, with a recent HbA1C between 5 and 10.
- Your foot ulcer has been there for at least 2 weeks and is at least 2 square centimeters (about the size of a standard postage stamp).
- The ulcer is deep but doesn't expose muscle, tendon, bone, or joint, and is free of dead tissue and infection.
- You have good blood flow to your foot, confirmed by a doctor's test.
- You can wear a special cast (total contact cast) to keep weight off the ulcer during treatment.
- You are willing to take part in your own care, like keeping the dressing dry at home, and you don't have major health issues that would make the study unsafe.

This study tests whether a special skin graft made from donated skin helps heal chronic diabetic foot wounds. If you have a non-healing ulcer that hasn't improved much, this treatment might help it close more quickly.
This study tests whether a special placental tissue graft placed on a diabetic foot ulcer helps it heal faster than standard wound care alone. It is for people with a diabetic foot ulcer that has not healed after 4 weeks of usual care.
This study tests two new skin graft products (PelloGraft for diabetic foot ulcers and SanoGraft for venous leg ulcers) to see if they heal wounds faster than standard care. If you have a hard-to-heal foot or leg ulcer, this trial may offer a new option.
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 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 trial tests a wound covering made from donated amniotic tissue (dehydrated human amnion membrane) placed on a diabetic foot ulcer that isn't healing. It aims to see if adding this membrane to standard wound care helps the ulcer close faster.
