Active clinical trials for "Foot Ulcer"

The aim of this study is to evaluates the chance of non-healing Diabetic Foot Ulcers repair by reducing oxidative stress caused by diabetes by taking vitamin E and C supplements along with the use of Platelet-Rich Plasma-Fibrin Glue as an effective treatment for wound healing.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of Resticutis for the treatment of Wagner's Grade II/III diabetic foot ulcers in comparison with Platelet-Poor Plasma as a placebo comparator.

Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of a device with LU3103209 compound versus the same device, free of LU3103209 compound, in the local management of DFUs.

A prospective, double blind, randomized, placebo controlled, outpatient, parallel group comparison trial to assess the safety and efficacy of HO/03/03 10µg versus Placebo, applied topically once daily for up to 14 weeks in at least 196 subjects diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus and having a single target non-healing Plantar Neuropathic Diabetic Foot Ulcer.

The purpose of this study is to determine safety and efficacy of a new gel formulation of Esmolol hydrochloride (Galnobax®) for the treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU). The study will compare number and types of adverse events occured, rates of wound closure and percentage of wounds closed in Galnobax treated groups versus placebo group.

The purpose of the study is to see if FGF-1 is safe when applied topically to the surface of a wound.

It is estimated that 300 million people worldwide will have diabetes by the year 2025. About 12 percent of those with diabetes will have had a foot ulcer, which is a major source of morbidity, concern, and cost. The foot ulcers are the leading cause of hospitalization among people with diabetes and often lead to amputation. The costs of treatment and the high morbidity and mortality associated with diabetic foot problems necessitate the need for a systemic approach to a foot ulcer management. Current local treatments of this type of ulcer are: dressings (hydrocolloids, alginate…), and growth factors. However modern dressings may not avoid infection and the results of the clinical studies are not significant in terms of complete healing rate or in terms of time to healing. Concerning growth factors, the only one whose therapeutic application made proof is the rhPDGF (Regranex®) with an increase in the number of ulcers completely healed at the twentieth week compared to placebo (50% and 35%, respectively). The advancement of tissue-engineering has made possible dermal replacement on human wounds to facilitate healing. A new sponge composed of collagen and glycosaminoglycans (chondroitins 4 and 6 sulphate), reticulated by ionic bonds with chitosan before freeze-drying, was developed in France. This sponge is a non-toxic product due to its non-chemical reticulation (ionic bonds), biocompatible and biodegradable processes, handling and storable easily. The objective of this study is to demonstrate that such a substitute, cellularized by functional allogenic fibroblasts, and complying with all safety conditions, enables to lead to healing of diabetic foot ulcers.

This is comparison trial comparing human amniotic membrane to standard wound care for non healing diabetic foot wounds over a 12 weeks period

The objective of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of a device (the KC-002 interactive wound dressing) in the promotion of healing in diabetic foot ulcers as compared with a conventional wound therapy regimen for subjects with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus. This is a prospective, randomized, multi-center, unmasked, controlled study. All patients will receive care for the diabetic foot ulcer during the study. Participation in the study is for 24 weeks.

The BIPPED study seeks to determine whether wound healing, in particular diabetic foot ulcers, can be monitored using electrical bioimpedance analysis (BIA). BIA measures the resistance of biological tissue to the passage of a very small electric current applied with electrodes. Different types of tissue, due to cell structure, hydration and vascularization, have specific electrical characteristics. The BIPPED study aims to provide experimental data for the development of a BIA sensor for monitoring of wound healing in chronic wounds.
