Active clinical trials for "Foot Ulcer"

The purpose of this study is to establish the clinical superiority and the safety of topical pexiganan cream 0.8% plus standard local wound care as compared to placebo cream plus standard local wound care, in the treatment of mildly infected diabetic foot ulcers.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to perform a limited pilot study to determine the safety and feasibility of DermGEN in the treatment of non-healing diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). This will be a one-arm prospective study. It is hypothesized that DermGEN treatment will result in positive healing outcomes with no significant adverse effects.

The present clinical trial is designed to assess the effectiveness of BioChaperone PDGF-BB applied at 4 µg/cm² every other day for up to 20 weeks and associated to Standard of Care as compared to Standard of Care alone for the treatment of neuropathic and neurovascular diabetic foot ulcers.(In order to ensure the double-blinding of the treatments, a sterile normal saline solution presented in the same multi-dose spray vials than BioChaperone PDGF-BB will be applied on patients of the control group).

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the new treatment of WH-1 ointment compared to Aquacel® Hydrofiber® dressing, applied to chronic diabetic foot ulcers for up to 16 weeks.An additional objective of this study is to collect safety information including adverse events and clinical laboratory abnormalities.

Diabetic foot ulcers are the source of considerable suffering and cost and there are currently no wound care products available that have been demonstrated to improve healing, or that are cost effective. There have however been a small number of studies which have examined the use of platelets or fluid derived from platelets, either from the patient's own blood or from blood bank products. These have suggested some promise, but have suffered from technical difficulties in making a suitable wound care product or the volume of blood required to derive the product. It is thought that the reason why they may work is that growth factors released by the platelets may stimulate the wound to heal. This study will be a formal, randomised controlled trial to assess a new device for creating a wound care product which is a plug or patch comprising fibrin, white cells and platelets derived from 18 mls of the patients own blood. The application of this fibrin/white cell/platelet patch to the patients wound on a weekly basis will be compared with usual best care in patients with hard to heal Diabetic Foot Ulcers in a secondary care setting in 25 centres in the United Kingdom, Denmark and Sweden.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Garamycin Sponge (Gentamicin-Collagen sponge) in combination with antibiotics is safe and effective in treating moderate and severe diabetic foot infections.

Chronic foot ulcers are a common, severe and expensive complication in patients with diabetes and often causes lower-extremity amputation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of bemiparin as treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the gentamicin-collagen sponge when combined with standard daily wound care and an oral antibiotic (levofloxacin) is safe and effective in treating moderately infected skin ulcers compared to treatment only with standard daily wound care and an oral antibiotic (levofloxacin).

The purpose of the study isto see the effect of Fragmin on the healing of diabetic foot ulcers by determining the number of subjects with ≥50% reduction in ulcer surface area including intact skin healing.

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of the dermaPACE Device to sham application, when administered in conjunction with standard treatments used in the treatment of DFUs.
