Placental patch could speed healing of stubborn leg wounds
NCT ID NCT07510412
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special wound dressing made from donated placental tissue, called NuShield, can help heal venous leg ulcers that won't close on their own. About 200 adults with these ulcers will receive either NuShield plus standard wound care or standard care alone. The main goal is to see if more wounds close completely with the added graft.
