First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial tested whether an injection made from human umbilical cord cells (called secretome) can help heal chronic skin ulcers in people with leprosy. 27 adults with ulcers that had not healed with standard care received the injection and were followed for 12 weeks. The main goals were to check safety and measure changes in wound size.
