Active clinical trials for "Ulcer"

The opioid growth factor-receptor antagonist-naltrexone hydrochloride (NTX)- has gained much reach interest for applications in ophthalmology, because of its novel mechanism of action for speeding up corneal wound healing in both diabetics and non-diabetics, effective both locally and systemically and its availability as a low molecular weight synthetic drug.

This is a Phase I/IIa trial designed to evaluate topical bacteriophage therapy in patients with diabetic foot ulcers.

The United States Department of Veterans Affairs spends an estimated $1.5 billion a year on healthcare for patients with diabetes. The prevalence and complications of diabetes increase with age. Therefore, with the aging of the US and Veteran populations, there is an expectation of increased healthcare costs associated with treating diabetes and the associated complications of this disorder. One common complication is the diabetic foot ulcer. Diabetic foot ulcers are expensive to treat, can take a long time to heal and result in a decrease in patient quality of life. Patients remain susceptible to developing more foot ulcers over time. The goal of this project is to reduce the time it takes to heal a diabetic foot ulcer, increase the time between episodes of ulceration and improve the quality of life for diabetic foot ulcer patients.

This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending doses of BT051 in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. Subjects will be randomised using a 3 active:1 placebo ratio to 3 ascending dose cohorts of 8 subjects and will be dosed daily for 28 days. The 3 initial dose levels will be 200 mg, 800 mg and 3200 mg per day. Progression to the next cohort will be based on the safety and tolerability of the previous cohort.

Together with Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of the major forms of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).Currently, no curative therapy is available, since the pathophysiology of this disease is incompletely understood (1-3) and clinical practice demonstrates that current therapies induce remission in subgroups of patients only. Scientific evidence suggests that colitogenic immune responses can be controlled by increasing the number of circulating regulatory T cells (Treg) (4). The production of large numbers of autologous Treg is possible by isolation of CD25+ cells from the whole blood of a patient and subsequent ex vivo expansion in the presence of the immunomodulatory drug rapamycin, Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and CD3/CD28 expander beads (5). ER-TREG 01 is a single-center, open-label, fast-track phase I dose-escalation study designed to assess the safety profile and maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of a single infusion of ex vivo expanded autologous Treg in patients with active ulcerative colitis.

The objective of the study is to compare the effect of two treatments on the healing of venous ulcers in follow-up people in two Primary Health Services, in a city in southern Brazil. The two treatments that will be tested are: (1) the high compression elastic bandage and (2) Unna boot. The two treatments are indicated for the treatment of people with venous insufficiency and who have an active ulcer. The treatment will last 26 weeks (6 months). Once a week, during 26 weeks, a nurse will perform the dressing and will apply the therapy high compression elastic bandage or Unna boot according to a drawing and in every two weeks an evaluator will assess the characteristics of the ulcers and the size.

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of GLPG3970 compared to placebo on the signs and symptoms of Ulcerative Colitis (UC) in participants with moderately to severely active UC.

This is an adaptive open-label, first-in-human (Phase IIa) study designed to assess the safety (and efficacy) of Aurase Wound Gel, an enzymatic debridement product, intended for topical application to sloughy venous leg ulcers (VLU)

Study in adult Diabetes Mellitus patients with diabetic foot ulcers and elevated HbA1c who will receive standard wound treatment in combination with adjuvant therapy WF10 to compare the change of HbA1c levels at baseline and after treatment.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety of the safety of the study medicine called infliximab for the possible treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ulcerative colitis (UC, Crohn's disease, or psoriasis. RA is a kind of joint disease that causes pain and swelling. UC causes inflammation and sores (also called ulcers), in the lining of the rectum and colon. Chron's disease is a disease that lasts for a long time and causes severe irritation in your digestive tract. Psoriasis is a skin disease that gives you a dry, scaly rash. The study includes patient's data from the database who: Have at least 90 days of look-back period Have any of these diseases (RA, UC, Crohn's disease, or Psoriasis) in the 90-day look back period Are 15 years of age or older at the time of first dosing All the patient's data included in this study would have received infliximab as intravenous (into veins) injection.
