Active clinical trials for "Diabetic Foot"

A single centre validation/method comparison study of the experimental NERVE device for the measurement of vibration perception threshold against the established 'Neurothesiometer' device, evaluating agreement and reliability. It will also include collecting feedback from patients, carers and clinicians on the usability of the device

This project directly addresses the escalating national rate of major (above-ankle) amputations due to diabetic foot ulcers; it focuses on rural patients, who face 37% higher odds of major amputation compared to their urban counterparts. The project pilots the first integrated care model adapted to rural settings, an approach that has reduced major amputations in urban settings by approximately 40%. Pilot data will be used to improve recruitment and retention strategies and provide preliminary evidence of efficacy needed to conduct a robust, statewide efficacy trial.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test a topical drug in patients with mild infections of their diabetic foot ulcer. The main questions it aims to answer are: What strength does the drug need to be in order to make the infection better? How frequently does the drug need to be applied in order to make the infection better? Participants will be asked to apply the medicine on their foot ulcer twice a day for 2 weeks and remain off of that foot during that time. Participants will receive the medication either once a day or twice a day, in either a 5% or 10% gel, or placebo. Researchers will compare the 5% and 10% gels to placebo to see if the infection improves.

The purpose of this study is to collect thermal images of diabetic patients' feet to evaluate the performance of Feetsee - foot monitoring device for periodic evaluation of the temperature over the soles of the feet for signs of inflammation.

The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of standard treatment associated with a topical anti-staphylococcal bacteriophage cocktail versus standard treatment plus placebo for diabetic foot ulcers monoinfected by methicillin-resistant or susceptible S. aureus (MRSA or MSSA) as measured by the relative reduction in wound surface area (%) at 12 weeks.

It is estimated that approximately 20-25% of diabetic patients will have at least one trophic disorder during their period. The appearance of a trophic disorder in a diabetic patient is a serious complication, indicating that diabetes is often complicated. The consequences are serious for the patient with an impairment of his quality of life, but also for society with a high cost in terms of health care costs. It should also be noted that diabetes remains the main cause of non-traumatic amputation in most developed countries, with amputation often preceded by a trophic disorder. In addition, 20% of amputees are re-amputated at least once a year. Thus, the consequences of diabetic foot injuries are important in human, social and health terms and are the subject of increased health care spending. Many studies have shown that diabetes is a risk factor for dementia, whether it is Alzheimer's disease, Alzheimer's disease or the vascular component or pure vascular dementia. However, an understanding of the cognitive mechanisms involved in the management of diabetes and in particular in the diabetic foot and its recurrence remains partial and no study has integrated the severity of the risk of the foot (evaluated by the podological risk) Specific implication of some Cognitive abilities, especially in relation to episodic memory, and social cognition integrating decision-making abilities. These specific disorders could have a major impact in diabetes follow-up, therapeutic adherence and the risk of developing recurrent trophic disorders. Thus, the coexistence of diabetes with a mental pathology makes the management of the subject more complex and exposes it to more complications. In the management of chronic diabetic disease, adherence to treatment is essential. It is therefore important to detect the specific effects of this type of personality on the prognosis of diabetes and the appearance of foot wounds.

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the most invalidating complication of diabetes and represents a big economic burden for the society. No specific therapy is available for diabetic foot ulcers.The aim of this study is to define a new approach for treatment of chronic diabetic wounds. Our concept is based on the improvement of the cellular reaction to hypoxia. It will address the transcriptional factor HIF-1 (Hypoxia inducible factor-1) which is the cellular sensor for oxygen and which is specifically repressed by hyperglycemia. The study will investigate the effect of local deferoxamine (0.66 mg/ml), the only known HIF-1 inducer, on the wound healing rate in patients with neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers. The primary objective of the study will be the reduction with >50% of the wound area after 12 weeks of treatment.

The aim of this clinical study is to compare the efficacy and tolerance of 3 versus 6 weeks of antibiotherapy in patients with diabetic foot osteomyelitis treated medically.

This is a post - market study with a wound dressing, a CE-marked medical device available on the european market. The device will be used in routine clinical practice, i.e. within its intended purpose and without any additional invasive or stressing examinations for the patients. Up to 36 adult patients with wounds suitable to be treated with the medical device and meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled at two participating German sites. During 5 on-site visits within 28 days routine weekly dressing changes the Health Care Professional will examine the wound and will perform required wound care and dressing changes. Pictures of the wound with and without dressing will be taken at each visit and used for automatic analysis. The subjects will be asked to rate their general wound pain and the pain perceived during dressing changes. A wound-related quality of life questionnaire will be presented to the subjects twice and the subject and HCP will rate their safisfaction with the product.

This is a single-arm, observational, multicenter PMCF investigation designed to confirm clinical performance and safety of ChloraSolv when exposed to larger population of clinical users. Approximately 65 subjects will be enrolled (calculated dropout range 20%) from at least 6-12 sites in Sweden. Subjects presented with chronic leg ulcers and chronic diabetic foot ulcers in need of debridement will be enrolled and receive application of ChloraSolv per clinical routine at treating site and in accordance with the ChloraSolv Instruction for Use for up to 24 weeks. Subjects will attend a baseline visit to assess eligibility and collect demographic and baseline data and initiate treatment. There will be two follow up visits in the investigation. The first follow up visit will take place at End of Treatment, as based on investigator judgement and clinical routine at the treating site, maximum 24 weeks post baseline per the IFU. After End of Treatment, subjects will continue in the investigation with wound management per clinical routine at the treating sites for 6 weeks. At 6 weeks post End of Treatment, subjects will attend a Follow-up visit to assess safety, wound status and relative change in wound size. Besides confirmation of the clinical performance and safety when used in a larger population the investigation also includes analysis of treatment period duration. Additionally, health economy parameters will be analyzed. The investigation will be monitored to confirm the already known precautions as well as identify new precautions and possible contraindications for the use of the device. Photography of the wound pre and post debridement will be performed to confirm wound size and amount of devitalized tissue in the wound.
