NCT ID NCT06327113

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether injecting antibiotics directly into the tissue around chronic wounds helps them heal better than standard care alone. About 60 adults with non-healing wounds on their legs, arms, or trunk will either receive the antibiotic injections plus usual wound care, or usual care alone. The study will track side effects and measure wound size and closure over six months.

What this could mean

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a new way to treat stubborn chronic wounds that don't heal with standard care alone.

What could go wrong

This is a small early-phase trial focused on safety, so it may not prove the treatment works. The antibiotic injections could cause pain, infection, or allergic reactions.
