NCT ID NCT06066801

First seen Nov 25, 2025 · Last updated Jun 03, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tests whether a bedside bone biopsy done by a diabetes doctor works as well as the usual surgical or radiology-guided biopsy for people with diabetic foot infections. About 320 adults with diabetes and a foot ulcer suspected of bone infection will take part. The goal is to see if the simpler bedside method can effectively guide antibiotic treatment and lead to similar healing rates at 12 months.
