Active clinical trials for "Diabetic Foot"

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.

In this study, the investigators hypothesize that the use of olivamine-containing products in the management of patients with compromised nonhealing lower extremity ulcers is feasible in the Philippine setting. It will result in complete ulcer healing or wound closure after 16 weeks.

This is comparison trial comparing human amniotic membrane to standard wound care for non healing diabetic foot wounds over a 12 weeks period

The purpose of this study is to determine safety and efficacy of a new gel formulation of Esmolol hydrochloride (Galnobax®) for the treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU). The study will compare number and types of adverse events occured, rates of wound closure and percentage of wounds closed in Galnobax treated groups versus placebo group.

The purpose of the study is to see if FGF-1 is safe when applied topically to the surface of a wound.

A prospective, double blind, randomized, placebo controlled, outpatient, parallel group comparison trial to assess the safety and efficacy of HO/03/03 10µg versus Placebo, applied topically once daily for up to 14 weeks in at least 196 subjects diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus and having a single target non-healing Plantar Neuropathic Diabetic Foot Ulcer.

Diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) is a disease caused by neurogenic (concerning the nervous system), vascular, mechanic and metabolic factors, which are further complicated by an impairment of the immune system and a corresponding increase in the risk for infections. Results from clinical trials about the efficacy of interventions aimed at reducing the number of patient-relevant end points are of limited comparability due to the heterogenity of patient characteristics. By their very nature, randomized clinical trials (RCT) can only focus on a limited section of the wide range of possible intervention regimes. In clinical practice, however, a number of patients with dfs will never have been part of a clinical trial. Furthermore, there are only very few contemporary registers for this indication from which conclusions with regard to the comparative merits of different therapeutic strategies may be drawn. The register was conceived to find out to which extent RCT patients are representative for the overall patient collective with dfs and critical limb ischemia and to evaluate the therapeutic success of other treatment strategies. An RCT to assess the efficacy of urokinase versus placebo is imbedded in the register.

Bone marrow cells were previously shown to enhance wound healing in experimental diabetes. In this pilot study, patients with chronic diabetic ulcers not healing under conventional therapy, will be treated with local application of autologous bone marrow cells.

The objective of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of a device (the KC-002 interactive wound dressing) in the promotion of healing in diabetic foot ulcers as compared with a conventional wound therapy regimen for subjects with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus. This is a prospective, randomized, multi-center, unmasked, controlled study. All patients will receive care for the diabetic foot ulcer during the study. Participation in the study is for 24 weeks.

Patients with diabetes at high risk of ulceration require a perfect fitting shoe to avoid high shear and pressure forces. Neuropathy skews sensory perceptions and can alter the proper selection of the therapeutic footwear. The aims of study were to evaluate the ability of high-risk patients with diabetes in remission to select the proper therapeutic footwear and to validate a novel 3D foot scanner app for selecting the proper fitting therapeutic footwear.
