Active clinical trials for "Necrosis"

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of autologous transplantation of Adipose Tissue derived Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in patient with avascular necrosis of the femoral head.

This is a prospective, randomized, multicenter clinical study to compare the safety and efficacy of TC-A PS total knee system with TC-PLUS Solution PS total knee system in Chinese subjects.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of two postoperative interventions designed to preserve muscle protein after major hip or knee surgery.

To compare the Kinetics of inhibition of platelet aggregation (aggregometry) and platelet activation (flow cytometry) with different loading doses of clopidogrel To evaluate the effect on various parameters of inflammation and necrosis and the safety of these loading doses

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Infusing melphalan directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to healthy tissues. It is not yet known whether melphalan plus tumor necrosis factor is more effective than melphalan alone for soft tissue sarcoma. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of isolated limb perfusion of melphalan with or without tumor necrosis factor in treating patients who have soft tissue sarcoma of the arm or leg.

Acute and chronic infection of knee joint prosthesis can have several outcomes, the most feared of which is trans-femoral amputation. In order to save the limb while maintaining function, the management of these infections involves several specialists. Orthopedic surgeons are on the front line for carrying out bacteriological samples as well as for changing the material when necessary. The infectiologists coordinate this care by supervising each of the interventions by an antibiotic therapy adapted to the germs and by ensuring the occurrence of adverse events related to the treatment. Plastic surgeons intervene when the skin cover of the knee is deemed to be precarious or when there is an identified loss of substance that could affect the prognosis of the prosthesis. The main objective of our study is to evaluate the success rate of skin coverage and functional recovery for patients cured of their infection. The secondary objective is the identification of risk factors for skin coverage in this population.

Study objective The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the investigational device, ULSD-12D, as Compared to the comparator, SONOCA-180, in chronic wound.

Around 20 per cent of patients with acute pancreatitis develop pancreatic or peripancreatic necrosis with or without peripancreatic collection. Percutaneous catheter drainage successfully drains the liquefied component of pancreatic necrosis while the solid component still remains undrained. This infected solid component of pancreatic necrosis is probably responsible for failure of percutaneous catheter drainage which demands surgical debridement. Streptokinase is a protein secreted by several species of streptococci which can bind and activate human plasminogen. In the present study investigators plan to instill streptokinase locally in to the collections of patients with severe acute pancreatitis via pigtail catheter inorder to liquefy the solid necrotic component and analyze whether it hastens the drainage and thereby delays or obviates the need for necrosectomy.

The purpose is to assess the safety and feasibility of cellular therapy derived from bone marrow, to help bone healing in patients with avascular necrosis of the hip.

The present study evaluates the effect of XCEL-MT-OSTEO-ALPHA in osteonecrosis of the femoral head in comparison to the standard treatment of isolated core decompression. XCEL-MT-OSTEO-ALPHA is a tissue engineering product composed by "ex-vivo" expanded autologous mesenchymal stem cells fixed in allogenic bone tissue. The working hypothesis proposes that the tissue engineering is a valid and useful technique to achieve bone regeneration, avoiding the progression to collapse of the femoral head.
