Platelet-rich plasma for chronic diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) to help heal chronic diabetic foot ulcers. It aims to see if this treatment can improve wound healing compared to standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and have type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
- You have a diabetic foot ulcer that has not healed much in the last 4 weeks, and is between 1 and 50 square centimeters in size.
- The ulcer is on your foot or heel, but not deep enough to expose muscle, tendon, or bone.
- You must be able to follow a special offloading (pressure-relief) routine for at least 4 weeks before starting the study.
- You must have adequate blood flow to your foot, as measured by a test called ankle-brachial index (ABI).
- You are willing to have your wound photographed and to avoid other treatments on the ulcer during the study.

This study tests a gel made from a small sample of your own blood to help heal chronic leg ulcers that have not improved with standard care. The gel is applied to the wound and may help it heal faster.
This study tests a treatment made from your own blood that is applied to a wound that has not healed after standard care. The goal is to see if this gel can help the wound close and heal better.
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 a treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) can help heal deep skin ulcers (Grade III) that have been present for more than two weeks. It may be a good option if you have a normal platelet count and are not in palliative 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 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.
