Active clinical trials for "Ulcer"

PHASE: II TYPE OF STUDY : With direct benefit DESCRIPTIVE: Multicenter, randomized, double-blind study INCLUSION CRITERIA: Steroid-dependent ulcerative colitis OBJECTIVES: To show superiority of methotrexate vs placebo in inducing steroid-free remission in steroid-dependent ulcerative colitis STUDY TREATMENTS: Methotrexate 1 intramuscular injection (25 mg) per week Placebo 1 intramuscular injection per week NUMBERS OF PATIENTS: 55 patients in each group, i.e. a total of 110 patients INCLUSION PERIOD: 24 months STUDY DURATION: 36 months EVALUATION CRITERIA: Remission without steroids, immunosuppressives and without colectomy at 16 weeks of treatment.

This study uses a randomized, double-blind, controlled design to demonstrate that PN400 (esomeprazole and naproxen) is more effective in reducing the occurrence of gastroduodenal ulcers, dyspepsia, and heartburn in subjects at risk for developing NSAID-associated gastric ulcers compared to naproxen alone.

224 adults with diabetic foot ulcers will be randomized to either magainin peptide (MSI-78) or ofloxacin (FLOXIN, Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical Corporation) an oral fluoroquinolone antibiotic.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of esomeprazole 20 mg dosed once daily and ranitidine 150 mg dosed twice daily through 4 weeks of treatment for the healing of gastric ulcers in patients receiving daily non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)therapy.

This was a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the human anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) monoclonal antibody adalimumab (ADA) in patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).

Split thickness skin grafting is the normal standard of care for wound closure. However, this is an invasive procedure and associated with pain also there can be additional donor site morbidity. Epidermal grafting is an emerging clinical alternative that is gaining clinical practise. Epidermal grafting (EG) is an alternative method of autologous skin grafting that 'harvests' a finer layer of skin than traditional Split thickness skin grafting (SSG). This potentially results in less pain and reduced donor site morbidity but only delivers several cell layers to the wound so may be less effective at healing a wound. It is not known if EG is an effective alternative to SSG. Further the mechanism to achieve wound healing may be different. EG promotes wound healing by expressing growth factors that accelerates wound healing and encourages keratinocyte migration. Whereas SSG is a transplant of several skin layers that integrated to the existing wound bed as a formal skin covering. The investigators wish to compare these two clinical practises; epidermal grafting and split thickness skin grafting in wound healing. Further to undertake a translational study to investigate the mechanism by which each technique achieves wound healing.

Vergenix Flowable Gel is indicated for the management of acute and chronic wounds

SANGUINATE™ Sickle Cell Disease associated Leg Ulcers.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is safe and efficacious in the treatment of chronic active ulcerative colitis (UC) by conducting a randomised controlled trial

The primary objectives of this study are as follows: To assess the safety and tolerability of escalating single and multiple doses of GS-5745 (andecaliximab) in participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) as assessed by adverse events (AEs) and laboratory abnormalities To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of GS-5745 (andecaliximab) in participants with moderate to severe UC.
