Testing a pig skin wound treatment for hard-to-heal leg ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding a special wound dressing made from pig placenta to standard care helps heal leg ulcers faster than standard care alone. You may qualify if you have a leg ulcer that has not shown much improvement in the last 4 weeks.

This trial tests a special patch made from pig tissue (placenta) placed on diabetic foot ulcers that are not healing well. If you have a foot ulcer that has been present for 4 to 52 weeks and is not shrinking, you may be able to join the study.
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 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 tests a new gel that may help heal leg ulcers caused by poor vein circulation. The gel is applied directly to the wound and aims to trigger natural healing processes in the skin.
This trial tests if a placental membrane product, when added to standard wound care, helps heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers faster than standard care alone.
This trial tests a skin graft (called NeoThelium FT) to see if it helps heal venous leg ulcers faster when used with standard compression therapy. It might help you if you have a hard-to-heal leg ulcer that hasn't improved much with usual care.
