Testing a gel for cleaning leg ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a new gel that helps remove dead tissue from venous leg ulcers. Venous leg ulcers are open sores on the leg that happen when veins don't work well. The gel is applied to the ulcer to clean it and help it heal. You may be able to join if you are an adult with a venous leg ulcer that is not too large and has been there for a few weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new cleansing solution called VASHE to see if it helps heal leg ulcers that show signs of heavy bacteria, compared to a standard saltwater solution. If you qualify, you'll use the solution along with compression therapy, and it may help reduce infection and improve healing.
This trial tests a smart compression bandage that uses sensors to help heal venous leg ulcers. It may help people whose ulcers have not healed with standard compression therapy.
This study tests a special dehydrated human placenta tissue dressing for leg ulcers that won't heal. You will get either standard wound care plus this dressing, or standard care alone; later you may have the chance to receive the dressing.
This study compares two types of compression bandages to see if one is as good as the other for treating venous leg ulcers. If you have a leg ulcer that has not healed, this trial may help improve your treatment.
