Active clinical trials for "Diabetic Foot"

Program Name: Clinical Study on Treatment of Diabetic Foot with Autologous Adipose Stem Cells Bidding Unit: Tenth People's Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University Study subjects: diabetic foot patients OBJECTIVE: To establish an autologous adipose stem cell therapy for diabetic foot and evaluate its clinical safety and efficacy. Study Design: Randomized Controlled Clinical Study Target number of cases: 60 Main evaluation indicators: ulcer healing and amputation, calculating ulcer healing rate = total wound healing cases / total ulcer cases in this group; amputation rate = amputation cases / total cases in this group. Secondary evaluation indicators: ankle-brachial index (ABI), Ruthford classification, painless walking time Wong-Baker Faces pain score, transcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen (TcPO2), laser Doppler flowmetry, multi-slice spiral CT angiography (CTA)

There is controversy regarding the utility of antiseptics in wound management for diabetic foot ulcer syndrome. The aim of this study is to assess chlorhexidine gluconate at 0.125% vs. saline solution to reduce the ulcerated area in patients with diabetic ulcer syndrome. A clinical trial model to evaluate modifications in size and area is proposed. Patients to be included will be those with diabetic foot ulcers Graded II accordingly to the University of Texas wound classification system.

To investigate the effect of Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 Inhibition on wound healing in patients with diabetic foot ulcers, the investigators randomly divided the participants into two groups: saxagliptin with regular treatment group，placebo with regular treatment group. The clinical data are collected at the given time point. This study aimed to observe the potential protective effect of DPP4i on diabetic ulcers.

Stem cell therapy has been a new and effective therapy in recent years for diabetic foot.This study intends to establish an optimal clinical research program, and attempts to break the technical bottleneck in the stem cell therapy for treating diabetes related vascular complications.

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a frequent clinical problem observed in diabetic patients. Properly managed, most can be cured, but many patients needlessly undergo amputations because of improper diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a compounded, anti-infective irrigation therapy to increase the healing rates of diabetic foot ulcers and thereby provide a new therapeutic option for health care providers treating high-risk patients with DFUs regardless if secondary fungal infections are present. Participants diagnosed with diabetes type 1 or 2 and with a documented open diabetic foot ulcer/wound with or without a secondary fungal infection will be included in this prospective, active intervention pilot study. Healing rates will be evaluated every two weeks following the initiation of study therapy up to three months. Participants with diabetic foot ulcers will be treated with a compounded, anti-infective irrigation therapy daily until closure of the ulcer or up to a maximum of 3 months. Participants will be asked to return to clinic every two - four weeks for assessment of the ulcer and compliance with treatment. A sample size of approximately 100 patients is estimated to have 90% power to detect 15% improvement in ulcer healing rates to 45% and 35% compared to historical benchmarks of approximately 30% for ulcers of <6 months duration and 20% for ulcers ≥6 months duration and/or prior treatment failure, respectively.

Procenta® has been successful in facilitating closure of non-healing diabetic ulcers in patients where proper wound care management/practice has failed along with other allo- and xenografts. In each individual case study where diabetes mellitus was pathological, unique wound morphologies with high variability in all three dimensions showed significant progress or were fully closed after at least one application of Procenta®. In the present study, the investigators seek to investigate the efficacy of the product over a 90-day treatment time-course with a larger sample size of patients suffering from non-healing wounds due to diabetes mellitus types I or II (diabetes mellitus). As a result, the investigators hope to better understand the potential and limitations of the product under these conditions with the anticipation that a significant number of patients will recover, avoid amputation, and return to a normal daily life.

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common complication of diabetes with global prevalence of 6.3%. Treatment of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is challenging with disappointing outcome. Wound debridement, infection control, pressure relief and revascularization are main pillars of DFU management. Various substances and modalities are being investigated for their potential effects in treating DFU, one of which is LL-37. In this randomized, controlled trial, 40 patients with uncomplicated DFU will be enrolled. Patients are randomly assigned to undergo twice a week treatment with 0.5 mg/mL LL-37 cream (treatment group) or placebo cream (control group) for 4 weeks in addition to standard wound care. The primary outcomes are the healing rate measured by wound area and granulation index and changes in patterns of aerobic bacteria colonization during the 4-week study duration and changes in concentrations of IL-α and TNF-α from fluid collected from DFU on the end of the second and third week of study compared to baseline.

The aim of this Clinical Proof of Principle study is to evaluate the effect of BBR-012 on the healing of complicated diabetic foot ulcers.

Hypothesis:Surgical treatment of osteomyelitis in diabetic foot is more effective that medical treatment through antibiotherapy and leads wound healing in ulcers complicated with bone infection.Material and Methods: Randomized clinical trials which include two groups of patients (n=88), one receives medical treatment through antibiotherapy during 90 days and the other group receive conservative surgical treatment and antibiotics during 7 days after surgery. It will be studied differences between both groups in healing time, recidives, present and relationship of adverse events and outflow of quality of life related health .

Objective: to compare the effectiveness of irremovable total contact casts and custom made temporary footwear to heal neuropathic foot ulcerations in individuals with diabetes
