Early angioplasty for diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests if an early procedure to open blocked leg arteries (angioplasty) helps heal foot ulcers in people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to improve blood flow and prevent amputation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 2 diabetes with a foot ulcer that is not an emergency.
- Your blood sugar control (HbA1c) is below 10%.
- You have peripheral artery disease (blocked leg arteries) and are at Fontaine stage IV (foot ulcer).
- Your foot ulcer is Wagner stage 1 (shallow, without deep infection or bone involvement).
- You are over 18 years old and able to give consent.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have not had certain medications (like chemotherapy or antibiotics) within 2 weeks.

This study tests a new way to restore blood flow to the leg in people who have wounds or dead tissue on their foot and have run out of other treatment options. It's for those who have already tried angioplasty twice without success or have severely hardened small arteries.
This trial tests if adding a special placenta-based wound covering to standard care helps heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers faster. It's for people with wounds that haven't healed after standard treatment for at least 4 weeks.
This trial tests a new treatment for foot ulcers caused by poor blood flow and diabetes. It compares the new treatment to a placebo (an inactive substance) to see if it helps ulcers heal better.
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 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 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.
