New ointment could heal diabetic ulcers faster
NCT ID NCT06841237
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether a natural ointment called Xiang Lei Ointment can help heal diabetic ulcers better than standard care alone. The ointment aims to reduce inflammation and promote wound repair. The study will enroll 56 adults with diabetes and a foot or leg ulcer that is in the granulation (healing) phase.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a new, effective treatment option for diabetic ulcers, potentially reducing amputation rates.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * a confirmed diagnosis of type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus that meets the standard World Health Organization definition, with blood glucose controlled prior to enrolment and a glycated haemoglobin HbA1c level of less than 10%; * the type of wound is an ulcer; * the wound etiology is diabetic, mainly abnormalities in blood glucose, resulting in poor or prolonged healing and requiring standard wound therapy; * the staging of the wound is in the granulation phase; * voluntary participation in the study and signing of an informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * acute heart attack, heart failure, hepatitis, shock, expiratory failure and other serious diseases that have not been corrected; * uncontrolled blood glucose, fasting blood glucose \> 15 mmol/L and glycated haemoglobin \> 12%; * active bleeding in the wound, which does not allow the implementation of the conventional basic treatment plan; * serum albumin \< 20 g/L; haemoglobin \< 60 g/L; platelets \< 50 x 109/L; * a state of disseminated infection that is being or will be treated with antibiotics * patients with advanced malignant tumours; * active autoimmune disease; * previous allergy to topical human granulocyte macrophage stimulating factor gel (Jinfuning); * inability of the patient to co-operate or mental disorder; * in the judgement of the investigator, the subject has a clearly irremovable cause of wound healing, is unsuitable for the study or is unable to comply with the requirements of the study.
