Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–80 with chronic non-healing ulcers (1–35 cm²) that show no healing progression for ≥1 week, including wounds with local infection/colonization and in late necrotic, granulation, or epithelial migration phases, who can give informed consent.

Probably not a fit

Patients with severe unstable comorbidities, uncontrolled diabetes (fasting glucose >15 mmol/L or HbA1c >12%), active bleeding that prevents standard care, systemic/disseminated infection, critically low albumin/hemoglobin/platelets, or advanced cancer are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies

This single-center interventional study will apply a novel antimicrobial absorbable polyester dressing to adults with chronic non-healing wounds and follow them using modern clinical wound-evaluation methods and established chronic wound staging. Prior large- and small-animal studies showed faster wound-area reduction and no major toxicity, but human clinical evidence is lacking. Participants will meet defined size, phase, and infection-stage criteria and will be monitored for wound-area change and safety outcomes. The goal is to identify optimal indications and generate clinical evidence on efficacy and tolerability at Peking University Third Hospital.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the dressing could speed wound closure and reduce infection risk for people with chronic non-healing ulcers.

How similar studies have gone: Preclinical large- and small-animal studies reported promising wound-area reduction and acceptable toxicity, but clinical human data for this specific absorbable antimicrobial dressing are currently lacking.
