New gel aims to heal stubborn leg ulcers

NCT ID NCT07463365

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a gel called LUT017 on chronic wounds like venous leg ulcers. The gel is applied once a week for up to 8 weeks to see if it's safe and might help wounds heal. About 12 to 18 adults with a leg wound that hasn't healed for at least 4 weeks will take part. The study first checks if standard bandages alone work, then treats eligible participants with the gel.

Active substance

LUT017 gel (a topical BRAF inhibitor)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment for chronic wounds like venous leg ulcers that are hard to heal.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 18 people, so it's mainly checking safety. The gel may not help wounds heal, and side effects are possible.
