New placental patch shows promise for diabetic foot ulcers

NCT ID NCT06511596

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · 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.

Active substance

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new option to help heal stubborn diabetic foot ulcers faster and reduce the risk of complications.

What could go wrong

This is a small, completed trial with only 71 participants. Results may not apply to everyone, and the treatment may not work better than standard care alone.
