NCT ID NCT07690566
First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new way to treat diabetic foot ulcers by using ultrasound to deliver tiny particles containing tadalafil (a drug similar to Viagra) directly to the wound. The goal is to see if this approach can help the ulcer heal faster and reduce pain. The trial involves one adult with a diabetic foot ulcer.
