Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study compares how well pressure ulcers (bedsores) heal in older adults receiving care at home versus in a long-term care facility. It also looks at quality of life, patient satisfaction, and treatment costs. Eighty people aged 60 to 90 with stage II-IV pressure ulcers will be followed for 12 weeks, with regular wound measurements and health assessments. The goal is to see which setting leads to better healing and well-being, helping tailor care to individual needs.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Comparison of home-based care versus institutional long-term care for pressure ulcer treatment
What this could lead to
If home-based care proves as effective or better, it could support shifting pressure ulcer treatment to home settings, potentially improving patient comfort and reducing healthcare costs.
What could go wrong
This is a small, non-randomized comparison, so results may not apply broadly. Differences in patient health and care quality could influence outcomes, and the study does not test a new drug or treatment.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 80 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Sep 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Dec 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
