Official title: Evaluation of the Efficacy of NeoThelium FT in the Healing of Chronic Pressure Ulcers: A Prospective Case Series
Run by NuScience Medical Biologics, LLC · NCT07158658 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will try NeoThelium FT amnion skin graft plus usual wound care in adults with stage 2–3 chronic pressure ulcers to see if it helps wounds heal and is safe.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18) with stage 2 or 3 pressure ulcers on the pelvis or lower extremity measuring 1–30 cm2, free of infection, with adequate arterial perfusion (ABI 0.7–1.3 or TBI >0.6), and willing to use offloading and prescribed NPWT when required.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with infected ulcers, stage 4 wounds or ulcers outside the pelvis/lower extremities, poor arterial circulation outside the ABI/TBI criteria, or who cannot comply with offloading/NPWT are unlikely to benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This is an open‑label, prospective case series conducted at multiple centers where all participants receive weekly NeoThelium FT applications in addition to standard of care. Eligible adults have stage 2–3 pressure ulcers on the pelvis or lower extremity measuring between 1 and 30 cm2, are free of infection, and meet vascular perfusion criteria; use of offloading and negative pressure wound therapy is required when indicated. Investigators will follow enrolled patients on the scheduled visits to record wound healing outcomes and safety events. As a post‑marketing study, collected data will also support insurance reimbursement decisions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, NeoThelium FT could speed closure of chronic pressure ulcers and reduce the need for more invasive treatments.
How similar studies have gone: Other clinical reports of dehydrated human placental membrane and similar cellular/tissue products have shown promising wound‑healing results, but high‑quality comparative data are limited.
