Active clinical trials for "Foot Ulcer"

CACIPLIQ20 is a nanopolymer engineered to mimic glycosaminoglycans such as heparan sulfates. Glycosaminoglycans are implied 1) in the stabilization of the micro-environment of cells, known as extracellular matrix, by binding to structural proteins, and 2) in the cell communication by protecting growth factors. At the site of a lesion, glycosaminoglycans are degraded, thereby the extracellular matrix is disorganized and the tissue is destroyed. By replacing damaged glycosaminoglycans, CACIPLIQ20 provides a protective function and restores the matrix architecture and the cell communication, a process known as Matrix Therapy. As for now, three non-controlled pilot studies have been carried out on small populations. They have shown a substantial enhancement of chronic wounds state after treatment with CACIPLIQ20. Therefore, the purpose of this new controlled study is to determine whether CACIPLIQ20 can shorten diabetic neuropathic plantar ulcers healing when the off-loading is mandatory. The study's main hypothesis is that CACIPLIQ20 application on a non-healing diabetic plantar ulcer in an off-loading mandatory context would reinitiate the natural process of tissue regeneration and lead to total wound closure faster than following standard wound care.

Trafermin is a recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF; original development code, KCB-1), which is manufactured by genetic engineering using Escherichia coli by Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan). Trafermin 0.01% cutaneous spray product kit consisting of a glass bottle containing lyophilized trafermin, a glass bottle with solvent for solution and a spray part to fit the glass bottle after reconstitution of the final product. The investigators conduct a multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel-group, multicentre study consisting of a placebo run-in phase (2w), a treatment phase (max. 12w) and a follow-up phase (3mo+6mo). The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate a superior wound closure rate of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) of neuropathic origin after 12 weeks topical daily application of trafermin 0.01% spray compared with placebo, in addition to best local care (off-loading, dressings). Approximately 210 patients will be randomized and it is planned that this study will be conducted at approximately 30 investigational sites in an estimated 4 countries in Europe (Czech Republic,France,Hungary,Italy,).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the application of soluble beta-glucan (SBG) onto diabetic foot ulcers improves the healing of the ulcers.

New treatments for persistent DFU have emerged, among which are the bioengineered skin substitutes, extracellular matrix proteins products, matrix metalloproteinases modulators, and growth factor therapy. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) gel has been used for stimulating wound healing since the last decade of the 20th century. This randomized trial was conducted to assess the role of PRP in gel form as a treatment for clean non-healing diabetic foot ulcer in comparison to regular dressing with saline as a control.

The aim of this study is to compare between the platelet rich plasma and normal saline dressing in the healing diabetic foot ulcers. It will be a randomized controlled trial.

It is hypothesized that application of the human placental umbilical cord tissue TTAX01 to the surface of a well debrided, complex diabetic foot ulcer will, with concomitant management of infection, result in a higher proportion of wounds showing complete healing within 16 weeks of initiating therapy.

This study will be a randomized, open-label, pretest post-test with two study groups.

It has been shown that diabetic patients present a significant increase in markers related to oxidative stress, which increases even more in those with diabetic foot ulcers and gradually depending on the severity of the injury and inversely to the mechanisms of physiological antioxidants of these patients. Therefore, these patients present a situation of oxidative stress (high lipid peroxidation), with an insufficient level of antioxidant enzymes to reverse this state, which leads to maintenance of the inflammatory situation and therefore the chronification of the ulcer. Investigators' aim in this study is to measure the benefits that the application of the product with antioxidant capacity REOXCARE can bring, together with the usual good clinical wound care guidelines and other essential therapeutic activities, such as pressure relief in the area of the ulcers.

Supra SDRM® is FDA-cleared as a dressing for treating partial and full-thickness wounds. It is a dermal substitute that provides a barrier and an ECM-like structure to help accelerate wound healing. SUPRA SDRM® has 510k approval for partial and full-thickness wounds and has shown promising results in preliminary animal studies. The purpose of this clinical evaluation is to collect and compare outcomes data from patients with UT 1A diabetic foot ulcers treated with a commercially available dermal substitute, Supra SDRM®, as compared to an advanced standard of care (Fibracol Plus). Patient outcomes, including time to heal, healing by 12 weeks, direct costs, and infection rate, will be compared at the end of the study.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the medical cost of illness for DFUs on the patients who had used ON101 or Aquacel® in the ON101CLCT02 trial.
