New gel for healing leg ulcers that won't close
Part of Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You must have an open leg ulcer (wound) that hasn't healed for at least 4 weeks but no longer than 2 years.
- The wound should be between 2 and 20 square centimeters in size (about the size of a coin to a small card).
- A doctor must have confirmed that your leg veins are not working well (chronic venous insufficiency) using an ultrasound in the past year.
- Blood flow to your leg must be adequate, confirmed by a test in the past year (e.g., blood pressure or oxygen measurement).
- You must not have signs of infection, and you must be able to tolerate compression bandages (e.g., multi-layer wraps).

This trial tests a gel that helps heal leg ulcers caused by poor blood flow in the veins. It may help if you have a venous leg ulcer that has not healed on its own after at least 4 weeks.
This trial tests whether a special gel helps heal venous leg ulcers faster. It is for people with a diagnosed vein problem and a leg ulcer between 2 and 12 square centimeters that has been present for at least 4 weeks.
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.
This Phase 2 trial tests MTX-001 to help heal “venous stasis ulcers,” which are open sores caused by weak leg vein circulation. It may be an option if you’ve tried standard high-compression care for weeks and your ulcer is still not healing.
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 new wound dressing for leg ulcers. It aims to see if the dressing helps manage fluid and heal the ulcer better than standard care. You may be a candidate if you have a leg ulcer that needs compression therapy.
