Umbilical cord treatment for hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether applying a special dressing made from umbilical cord tissue (which may help wounds heal) is more effective than standard care alone for hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers. If you qualify, you would receive weekly treatments and be monitored closely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old and have type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
- Your foot ulcer is between 1 and 15 cm² (about the size of a coin up to a few inches) and has been present for 4 to 52 weeks.
- The ulcer is on your foot, at least half of it below the ankle bone.
- The wound is full-thickness (through the skin) but does not expose bone or tendon.
- You are not currently taking medications that suppress your immune system, and you are not on dialysis.
- You are willing to attend weekly study visits and use a special offloading device (like a boot or cast) to take pressure off the ulcer.

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 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 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.
This trial tests whether an amniotic tissue treatment can help heal chronic diabetic foot ulcers that haven't improved with standard care. It focuses on a single ulcer below the ankle that has been present for more than 4 weeks but less than a year.
This study tests a new wound therapy for diabetic foot ulcers that haven't healed with standard care. It aims to see if the therapy helps these ulcers heal better and faster.
This study compares several advanced wound treatments (called CAMPs) plus standard care to standard care alone for hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers. It aims to see if the extra treatments help wounds close faster and prevent complications.
