New placental patch shows promise for diabetic foot ulcers
NCT ID NCT06511596
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding a special placental membrane (BR-AC) to standard wound care helps heal diabetic foot ulcers faster. 71 adults with diabetes and foot ulcers were randomly assigned to get either standard care alone or standard care plus BR-AC. The main goal was to see if more ulcers closed completely within 12 weeks. People who didn't heal with standard care could later receive BR-AC.
