Cord tissue patches aim to heal stubborn diabetic foot sores
NCT ID NCT07449975
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether two skin substitutes made from donated human umbilical cord tissue can help close hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers. About 272 adults with diabetes and a foot ulcer will receive either standard wound care alone or standard care plus weekly applications of one of the cord-based products for up to 12 weeks. The main goal is to see if more ulcers close completely with the added treatment.
