Comparison of two treatments for diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for diabetic foot ulcers that haven't healed with standard care. It aims to see which treatment is more effective in helping these wounds close.

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 trial tests a new treatment using special skin cells grown into tiny spheres (spheroids) to help heal diabetic foot ulcers that have not healed with standard care. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and works better than usual 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 study tests a new wound dressing made from amniotic membrane, called Xcell Amnio Matrix, to see if it helps heal diabetic foot ulcers that have not healed with standard treatments. If you qualify, you would receive the dressing along with regular wound care.
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 whether a new wound gel helps heal diabetic foot ulcers better than the standard gel. It is for people with mild to moderate foot ulcers who have good blood flow and are not taking certain medications.
