Active clinical trials for "Diabetic Foot"

This study is to evaluate the efficacy of Omeza® Lidocaine Lavage, Omeza® Collagen Matrix and Omeza® Skin Protectant used in combination with off-loading devices for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.

The ageing population and the increase in diabetes raise the prevalence of chronic skin ulcers (CCU). In diabetics, precursor cell mobilization decreases. In wounds, the inflammation is prolonged and oxidative stress increases. This is an unfavorable microenvironment for healing. A major risk factor in the development of CCU is nutritional deficiency. Healing needs energy and nutrients for regeneration. In diabetics the malnutrition can be more than 60%. However, although the provision of certain nutrients can improve the healing capacity, it is not a common clinical practice to nutritionally evaluate diabetic with CCU. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that reflect the physiological state of the cells producing them. Stem cell derivatives exosomes are rich in factors, that can provide a favorable microenvironment for tissue regeneration. The aim of this project is to develop a therapeutic process to accelerate the healing of diabetic CCU, based on the correction of nutritional deficiencies, to improve the regenerative capacity, together with the application of exosomes from mesenchymal stem-cell (MSC) in the wound, creating a microenvironment that favors tissue regeneration. For this, a pilot clinical trial with diabetic patients with CCU is proposed, to evaluate the effect of personalized nutritional supplementation on healing and regenerative capacity.

Total contact casts (TCCs) are effective treatment of plantar diabetic foot ulcers because they effectively offload the ulcer and are non-removable, resulting in high adherence to using the device. However, TCCs are not widely used in clinical practice because they negatively impact gait and daily activities. A new treatment concept was invented, sealed therapeutic shoe, where a shoe with a custom-made insole offloads the ulcer, and the shoe is rendered irremovable to be worn day and night, like a TCC. In this multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT), 150 participants will be recruited and randomized to two treatment arms: TCC or sealed therapeutic shoe. The primary outcome is ulcer healing, secondary outcomes include (but are not limited to) skin complications, glycemic control, body mass index, gait function, balance, quality of life, physical activity, and health economics.

It is hypothesized that application at 4-week or greater intervals of the human placental umbilical cord tissue TTAX01 to the surface of a well debrided, complex diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) will, with concomitant management of infection, result in a higher rate of wounds showing complete healing within 25 weeks of initiating therapy, compared with standard care alone. This second confirmatory Phase 3 study examines a population of diabetic foot ulcer patients having adequate perfusion, with or without neuropathy, and a high suspicion of associated osteomyelitis in a complex, high grade wound.

This study is designated to: investigate the tolerance and safety of treatment of Human placental mesenchymal stem cells gel on Human diabetic foot ulcer. learn the primary effectiveness of Human placental mesenchymal stem cells gel on Human diabetic food ulcer. study the pharmacokinetics of Human placental mesenchymal stem cells gel on Human diabetic food ulcer.

202 Diabetic foot ulcers will be cleaned with either Hypochlorous Acid, HClO or Polyhexamethylene biguanide, PHMB twice a week until healed or 24 weeks. Primary objective is to find out if cleaning DFU with HClO is more effective in obtaining complete healing than PHMB.

In this study, a novel placental membrane product Matrion™ (LifeNet Health, Inc., Virginia Beach, VA) will be used as a treatment for subjects with diabetic foot ulcers. Matrion is composed of placental membrane derived from donated human birth tissue containing both the innermost amniotic layer and the outermost chorionic layer, inclusive of the trophoblast layer. Matrion is minimally processed and disinfected using a proprietary decellularization technology and terminally sterilized that safely renders the placental membrane acellular and sterile for its intended surgical applications.

The purpose of this clinical investigation is to assess performance of the Medaxis Debritom+™ and to collect subject outcome data in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) vs Standard sharp debridement.

This is a pilot case/control clinical study on a group of outpatients with diabetic foot lesions aiming to verify the efficacy and safety of the Blue light photobiomodulation therapy with EmoLED medical device, in addition to standard therapy compared to the standard therapy alone, evaluating the percentage of healed lesions (which have reached complete and lasting re-epithelialization), the evaluation of the healing time and reduction of the ulcerated area during the time of observation, the perception of pain and the quality of life of the enrolled patients. The aim of this study is therefore to determine any differences in outcome between the two groups considered and, in particular, if the therapy of the group being treated is more effective than the standard therapy in terms of percentage of healed lesions, healing time, and reduction of the ulcerated area, pain perception, and quality of life, and is at least as safe in terms of occurrence of adverse events.

Patients who are admitted to hospital with serious infections, such as those in bone, joints or spine, require a long course of intravenous (IV) antibiotics. After an initial treatment course in hospital or through a dedicated outpatient antibiotic program many patients can complete their treatment course at home. Such infections are often caused by bacteria called Staphylococci, and currently there are three antibiotic options used routinely. A fourth antibiotic, ceftriaxone, is a promising alternative; it is also effective against Staphylococci, and is more convenient, less costly and easier to give at home, however, it has not been studied thoroughly in a prospective manner. This study will compare ceftriaxone to routinely used antibiotics (cloxacillin, cefazolin or daptomycin) to see if ceftriaxone is equally as safe and efficacious in curing deep-seated Staphylococcal infections in patients receiving home IV antibiotics. Patients with deep-seated infections caused by methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) or coagulase-negative Staphylococcal species will be randomly assigned home IV treatment with ceftriaxone OR one of the three other antibiotics before leaving the hospital. Patients will then receive usual care from an Infectious Disease physician and Home IV team. The study team will assess whether cure has been achieved by the end of the IV treatment, follow-up at 6 months to see if patients remain infection-free, and record any side-effects of treatment. The overall goal is to determine whether ceftriaxone can be considered non-inferior to usual antibiotic treatment in treating Staphylococcal infections in a home IV setting.
