Umbilical cord treatment for hard-to-heal leg ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment made from umbilical cord tissue to help heal hard-to-heal leg ulcers caused by vein problems. You will receive either this treatment plus standard care, or standard care alone, and your wound will be monitored weekly.

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 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.
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 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.
