Umbilical cord treatment for hard-to-heal leg ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a treatment made from umbilical cord tissue to standard care helps heal hard-to-heal venous leg ulcers. It may be an option if you have a leg wound that hasn't healed with standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study tests a special amnion membrane graft to help heal chronic leg ulcers that haven't improved with standard care. The graft is placed on the wound to support healing, and results are compared with standard treatment alone.
This trial tests if adding an umbilical cord-based treatment to standard care helps heal diabetic foot ulcers that have not closed with usual care. It may be an option if you have a foot ulcer that is at least 4 weeks old and between 1 and 15 square centimeters in size.
This trial tests human umbilical cord tissue stem cells to help heal venous leg ulcers that have lasted at least one month. It’s for adults who meet specific wound size/depth and health criteria and are willing to follow study visits.
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 trial tests a gel applied on hard-to-heal leg ulcers to see if it can help them heal. It is for people with chronic venous leg ulcers that have not healed for at least 4 weeks but less than 2 years.
