Active clinical trials for "Diabetic Foot"

Diabetic foot patients with chronic limb ischemia and without the option for surgical or interventional revascularization were recruited and randomized to the transplant groups or the control group within this clinical trial. These patients are randomized to control or intervention group, whereas the intervention is divided into bone marrow cells administered intramuscular or intraarterial or expanded bone marrow cells administered intramuscular or intraarterial resulting in five distinct groups. To measure the therapeutic effects of the various treatment arms patients were evaluated for (ankle brachial index (ABI), transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure (TcPO2), and reactive hyperemia (Blood Oxygen Level Dependent [BOLD]). Patients also underwent imaging with angiographic methods.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of four weeks of treatment with Santyl Ointment, compared to White Petrolatum, on the change from baseline in wound area of diabetic foot ulcers over four weeks, and on the proportion of subjects achieving complete wound closure within 12 weeks from initiation of treatment.

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of autologous transplantation of bone-marrow cells for therapeutic angiogenesis and vasculogenesis in diabetic patients with non-revascularizable critical limb ischemia.

The purpose of this study is to compare the VERSAJET™ device with conventional surgical procedures (performed with a scalpel) in the debridement (removal of unhealthy tissue) of lower limb ulcers. It is hypothesised that the time taken to debride lower limb ulcers will be quicker with the VERSAJET™ device than with conventional surgical procedures.

To compare the rates of clinical success of Topical Dermacyn™ vs. Oral Levofloxacin vs. Combined therapy, in subjects with mild diabetic foot infections in non-ischemic ulcers.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the gentamicin-collagen sponge when combined with standard of daily wound care is safe and effective in treating mildly infected skin ulcers compared to treatment with an oral antibiotic (levofloxacin) and standard daily wound care.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of the topical gentamicin collagen sponge (gentamicin sponge) combined with standard of care (daily wound care, off-loading, diabetic control and debridement by a physician or podiatrist), compared with placebo sponge combined with standard of care, in preventing infection of diabetic lower extremity skin ulcers.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) increases tissue oxygenation and serves as an adjunct therapy for diabetic wounds. However, some patients have insufficient increase or even paradoxical decrease in tissue O2 due to vasoconstriction. The aim of the present study was to investigate the pathophysiology responsible for the different consequences of HBOT and to evaluate the effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on these changes. Methods: Prospective, randomized, cross-over trial including fifty diabetic patients with non-healing ulcers. All patients had two HBOT (100%oxygen, 2ATA) with NAC at the first or the second evaluation. At the beginning and at the end of each evaluation, ulcer oxygenation and plasma levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), total anti-oxidant status (TAOS) and nitric oxide (NO) were measured. Patients with ulcer oxygenation above 200mmHg, were subjected to complete HBOT protocol.

To determine if topical negative pressure therapy delivered by the V.A.C.® device is clinically efficacious and cost effective in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of V.A.C.® Therapy to moist wound therapy of diabetic foot ulcers. The primary objective is to determine the effect of V.A.C.® Therapy on the incidence of complete wound closure.

This is a Phase II, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three different doses of topically applied telbermin in subjects ≥ 18 years old with diabetic foot ulcers. Approximately 160 adult subjects with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus will be enrolled at approximately 40 investigational sites in the United States and Canada.
