First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This Phase 3 trial is testing a drug called Neovasculgen, given as injections into the leg muscles, to see if it can help heal foot ulcers in people with diabetes. The study will include 144 adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who have a non-healing foot ulcer. Participants will receive either Neovasculgen or a placebo, and researchers will track how many ulcers heal completely within about 6 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Neovasculgen (a gene therapy drug given as injections into the leg muscles)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a new treatment option to help heal stubborn foot ulcers in people with diabetes, potentially reducing the risk of amputation.

What could go wrong

This is still an early-stage Phase 3 trial with only 144 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug is injected into the muscle and may cause side effects like pain or swelling.
