NCT ID NCT00777712
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at why wounds heal slowly or not at all in people with diabetes. Researchers will collect blood and wound fluid from 250 adults with chronic wounds to compare immune cells between diabetic and non-diabetic participants. The goal is to understand the biological reasons behind poor healing, not to test a new treatment.
