NCT ID NCT07686094
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing whether injecting placental stem cells into and around non-healing diabetic foot ulcers is safe. The study involves 12 people with Type 2 diabetes who have a foot ulcer that has not healed for at least four weeks despite standard care. Researchers will monitor for side effects like bleeding, infection, or allergic reactions, and also track whether the wound shrinks over a year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Placental stem cells
- What this could lead to
- If safe and effective, this approach could offer a new way to heal stubborn diabetic foot ulcers and reduce the risk of amputation.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 safety trial with only 12 participants, so it is too soon to know if it works. There are risks of infection, bleeding, or worsening of the wound.
