Active clinical trials for "Foot Ulcer"

During the observational, non-interventional study, at Baseline Study Visit (BSV) subjects will be screened and consented. Eligible subjects will undergo imaging with the DeepView device. Pre- and post-debridement images will be obtained (if debridement performed per SOC), as well as reviewing medical history and physical assessments. Additional Study Visits (SVs) will be performed when patient returns to the clinic for Routine Clinic Visit for up to 12 weeks or wound closure. During these visits DeepView imaging will occur pre- and post-debridement, and the status of the subject's treatment will be recorded.

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and their associated complications like amputations are increasingly becoming a problem in low and middle income (LMI) countries. Obesity (increased body fat/adiposity), which has been shown to complicate many diseases, is also increasing in LMI setting. It is however not certain whether increased adiposity, may make it difficult for DFUs to heal. Investigators aim to understand whether increased adiposity and accompanied local microbial factors have any negative impact on healing and progression of DFUs.

This research is being done because people with diabetes have reduced healing capacity and prone to develop infections of foot wounds. This can be problematic because wounds that become infected may result in amputation and more severe complications. New evidence suggests that a better understanding of the microbiome of wounds (e.g., bacterial presence) may provide information about wound healing and provide an earlier opportunity to identify an individual who may be prone to develop diabetic foot infection in their wound. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of the microbiome of the diabetic foot ulcer in development of infection and wound healing. Once the role of the microbiome is confirmed, progress towards the prevention and treatment of diabetic foot ulcers and complications may be possible.

An open, non-comparative, multicenter investigation to evaluate the safety and performance of Exufiber Ag+, a gelling fiber silver dressing, when used in medium to high exuding chronic wounds

This study will assess the safety and efficacy of using gene therapy via intramuscular injections of the calf for patients with chronic non-healing foot ulcers.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Granexin gel is safe and effective in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.

A randomized, controlled open-label, parallel group study to examine the effectiveness of a local application of the kalahari melon (Citrullus lanatus) seed oil for the healing of non-infected diabetic foot ulcers.

This is an observational, single-arm, on-label study. This clinical study will be conducted at up to 2 sites with a total of 10 subjects per site. All subjects will receive standard of care treatment which includes DFU treatments with the dermaPACE device.

Thirty patients of 18-85 years of age, with 2-30 cm2 pressure ulcers or post-op wounds, will be recruited and treated with either wound dressing containing silver or wound dressings containing copper oxide microparticles. The efficacy of the two types of dressings in reducing the size and improving the condition of the wounds will be compared.

The primary objective of this study is to compare the rate of healing as well as percent of wounds healed in Type II diabetic patients with chronic foot ulcerations receiving sitagliptin versus placebo. The hypothesis for this study is that subjects receiving daily doses of sitagliptin in combination with their regular antihyperglycemic medications will result in increased healing rates as well as a greater number of healed wounds as compared to subjects receiving placebo and their regular antihyperglycemic medications.
