First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This expanded access program offers SkinTE, a treatment made from a small piece of the patient's own healthy skin, to people with Wagner 1 diabetic foot ulcers. The goal is to see if applying these skin cells directly to the wound can help it heal. The program also collects safety data to better understand risks and benefits in real-world use.
