Summary

This study aims to find biological markers (biomarkers) that can predict whether a diabetic foot ulcer will heal or not. Researchers will collect samples like blood and wound fluid from 5,000 adults with diabetes and open foot ulcers. The goal is to develop a tool that helps doctors make personalized treatment decisions and improve future clinical trials.
