NCT ID NCT07230340
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether a patch made from donated human placenta tissue, plus standard wound care, helps close nonhealing venous leg ulcers better than standard care alone. About 70 adults with ulcers present for at least 4 weeks will take part. Those who get standard care first may later switch to the placenta treatment.
