Could stem cells save limbs? new trial tests healing power for leg ulcers
NCT ID NCT06326203
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 1/2 trial tests whether a patient's own stem cells, taken from belly fat and grown in a lab, can heal leg ulcers caused by severe peripheral artery disease. 40 participants will either receive stem cell injections and a special cell-containing dressing, or standard hydrogel wound care. The study will track wound healing and safety over 120 days, aiming to find a new way to prevent amputations.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
autologous mesenchymal stem cells (from the patient's own fat tissue)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new way to heal leg ulcers and reduce amputations in people with severe peripheral artery disease who have no other options.
What could go wrong
This is an early phase 1/2 trial with only 40 people, so results are preliminary. The treatment involves a surgical procedure and may not work for everyone; risks include infection or worsening of the ulcer.
