Active clinical trials for "Keloid"

Acne Keloidalis Nuchae (AKN) is a long standing hair follicle disease with bumps and scars on the skin of the back of the head and neck. The purpose of this new study is to determine how well a hair removal laser (NdYag Laser) works in treating AKN.

Botulinum toxins has been approved by the FDA to treat chronic migraine. Botox had been shown to inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators and peripheral neurotransmitters from sensory nerve to treat neuropathic pain. In the clinical practice, botox indeed effect in scar pain. However, investigators need well controlled study to prove this finding and assess the improvement of scar appearance.

Comparison of the Efficacy of Different Steroids in the Treatment of Abnormal Scars (Keloids and hypertrophic Scars)

Much progress in treatment of various tumors has been made in the laboratory and the results have been brought back to the patients, i.e. from bench to bedside. This trial intends to collect samples of keloid tissue from patients and study them in laboratory. Such a research may help us with finding better treatments for keloid.

The main purpose of this study is to see if there is clinical benefit of using Biovance in reduction of the recurrence of keloids when used to revise them. It will also assess the postoperative complications.

So far the evaluation of scar treatment was based on subjective criteria. The patient groups were divided into treated versus non-treated. In this study we use patients undergoing ear reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage. The thoracic scar of harvesting the rib cartilage is routinely reopened after 3 month during second stage of reconstruction. Therefore we have a ideal model of clinical, physiological and histological scar evaluation in a homologous patient group. All patients randomly treat one half of the scar with a silicone gel (Dermatix). The other half is untreated as an internal control.

The clinical trial will be carried out at the Gatot Soebroto Army Central Hospital, Jakarta and planned from June 2020 to December 2020. Clinical trials of Umbilical Cord-Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UC-MSCs) and Conditioned Medium Umbilical Cord-Mesenchymal Stem Cells (CM UC-MSCs) for Keloid were designed in three groups. Group 1 injected with The UC-MSCs at a dose of 2 million cells / cm3 using a 1 cc injection syringe (27G) by intra-lesion injection and booster with CM UC-MSCs at a dose of 1 cc / cm3 using a 1 cc injection syringe (27G) by intra-lesion injection and booster with CM UC-MSCs at the same dose 3 weeks later. Group 3 injected with Triamcinolon acetonide (TA) at a dose of 40 mg / cc / cm3 using 1 cc (27 G) syringe and booster with TA at 3 weeks later. The study subjects each group amounted to 7 patients suffering from Keloid. Patients were evaluated for 3 months after injection.

Two groups of patients (73 patients each) undergoing routine caesarean section has recurrent keloid at site of surgical scar. One group will undergo surgical excision of keloid. The other group will have combined surgical excision of keloid and single intralesional dexamethasone injection at edges of wound.All patients were reviewed once per month for 6 months for evidence of recurrence

This study aims to examine both the genetic profile and the biomarkers implicated in keloid scar formation. Hypothesis: Differences in the genetic profiles of lesional and non-lesional skin contribute a given population's propensity to develop keloids Differences in biomolecules expressed in subjects with and without keloids can help predict keloid occurrence and severity Biomarker analysis will provide useful insights for future targeted therapies for keloid scars

This prospective evaluation studies the effectiveness of IL cryotherapy in treating keloids and hypertrophic scars in a large population of mixed Fitzpatrick skin types.
