Tissue graft for diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special tissue graft made from amniotic membrane (the sac around a baby) helps heal diabetic foot ulcers faster than standard care alone. You may be able to join if you have a diabetic foot ulcer that hasn't healed and you meet certain health and size criteria.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older.
- You have type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
- Your blood sugar control (A1c) is less than 12%.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 tests a special membrane made from donated birth tissue (perinatal membrane) placed on a diabetic foot ulcer to help it heal faster. It's for people with diabetes whose foot ulcer hasn't healed after standard care for 4 weeks to a year.
This trial tests a special skin graft made from donated human tissue to help heal diabetic ulcers that have not improved on their own. It may be a good option if you have a diabetic foot ulcer that is at least 2 weeks old, free of infection, and has good blood flow to the area.
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 a special wound dressing made from a placental tissue (called PpLHACM) plus standard care, compared to standard care alone, to help heal diabetic foot ulcers that have not healed with usual treatment. It is for people with diabetes who have a moderate-sized foot ulcer without infection or exposed bone.
