ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a treatment called NeoThelium FT to see how well it helps heal diabetic foot ulcers when used alongside standard care. Diabetic foot ulcers are sores or wounds that can develop in people with diabetes, and the trial aims to find out if adding NeoThelium FT to regular treatment makes a difference in healing these wounds.

To participate in the trial, individuals must be at least 18 years old and have a medical diagnosis of Type I or Type II diabetes. They should have a diabetic foot ulcer that has been present for at least four weeks and shows less than 25% healing in the two weeks before joining the study. Participants will receive either the NeoThelium FT treatment plus standard care or standard care alone. It’s important to note that the trial is not yet recruiting participants, but once it starts, those eligible will be informed about what to expect during the study, including regular check-ups and assessments of their wound healing.
