Identifying biomarkers for diabetic chronic wounds

A Multicenter Case Control Study of Biomarkers in Diabetic Chronic Wounds Based on Combined Multi-omics Analysis Techniques

Observational Qianfoshan Hospital · NCT05342740

This study is trying to find specific markers in the blood that can help doctors understand and predict how diabetic patients with chronic wounds will heal.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to discover, verify, and evaluate potential biomarkers related to the diagnosis and prognosis of diabetic chronic wounds. It will be conducted in three stages: first, collecting clinical data and biological samples from diabetic patients with chronic wounds, those without newly identified wounds, and healthy individuals. The second stage will expand the sample size to verify the differences in candidate bioindicators identified in the first stage. Finally, the third stage will assess the value of these bioindicators as biomarkers in diabetic patients with chronic wounds.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include diabetic patients aged 18 to 75 with chronic wounds or without newly identified wounds, as well as healthy individuals without diabetes.

Not a fit: Patients with severe acute underlying diseases or conditions affecting wound healing may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved early diagnosis and treatment strategies for diabetic chronic wounds.

How similar studies have performed: While similar studies have explored biomarkers in chronic wounds, this specific approach is novel and aims to provide new insights.
