Stem cell treatment for chronic diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 1 or type 2 diabetes
- You are between 20 and 60 years old
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 20 and 30
- You have a chronic diabetic foot ulcer on the foot, about 2–8 square centimeters
- Your ulcer is Wagner grade 1 (limited to soft tissue) and has lasted about 6–24 weeks
- Blood flow checks are okay: skin oxygen pressure over 30 mmHg and ankle-brachial index over 0.5

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial studies a new treatment using stem cell-derived exosomes (tiny particles from stem cells) applied to the foot to see if it can help heal diabetic foot wounds. It aims to improve healing and reduce complications for people with diabetes who have foot issues.
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 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 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.
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.
