Active clinical trials for "Ulcer"

The purpose of this research study was to compare the medication TP05 to the medication Asacol™ for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) and to assess the safety and tolerability of TP05. This study investigated whether TP05 is as good as (non-inferior to) Asacol™(1). (1)The trademark Asacol™ is registered in over 55 countries as Asacol™ and as Octasa™, Fivasa™, Lixacol™, Asacolon™ in the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Ireland, respectively. The rights to Asacol, including the rights to the trademark, are owned by Tillotts Pharma AG in various countries except for the following: Switzerland, USA, United Kingdom, Canada, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

Subjects with Ulcerative Colitis who have completed an induction study with PF-00547659 will receive an additional 144 weeks of open-label treatment to evaluate the long-term safety of the drug.

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety, and to assess the pharmacokinetics of adalimumab administered subcutaneously (SC) in pediatric subjects with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC).

Chronic venous leg ulcers (CVU) represent a medical problem associated with significant morbidity, increased work absenteeism and earlier retirement as a consequence of disability. This strongly affects the patient's quality of life and has a significant economic impact on healthcare systems. Reports of studies with animal models show that treatment with bone marrow-derived stem cells has a beneficial effect in healing chronic skin wounds. The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the safety and feasibility of cell therapy with bone marrow derived cells (BMDC) as a complementary healing therapy in chronic venous leg ulcers, and in addition to evaluate its effectiveness. The knowledge gained in the pilot study will be used to refine the clinical protocol procedures of a subsequent randomized study. Patients with venous legs ulcers meeting eligibility criteria and providing appropriate written informed consent will be enrolled for study participation. Enrolled patients will receive Autologous BMDC implantation at de venous ulcer in conjunction with standard of care (SOC) treatment. During follow up, adverse events will be assessed by ulcer clinical examination. Effectiveness of the experimental treatment will be assessed by evaluating ulcer healing (reduction of the ulcer area) and pain reduction over a six-month period.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CSTC1 in patient with diabetic foot ulcers.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability as well as the pharmacodynamic effects of multiple doses of AVX-470 administered orally in patients with active ulcerative colitis.

The role of steroids in the treatment of ulcerative Colitis (UC) is well established, and recommended by professional societies. However, there are no data investigating whether the addition and/or continuation of 5-aminosalicylic agents as combination therapy with systemic corticosteroids is superior to corticosteroids alone in patients with moderate-severe active UC. Thus, in practical terms, the decision regarding 5-aminosalicylic (to add or continue), on top of steroids treatment, is taken on an arbitrary basis. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of steroids alone Vs combination of steroids + 5-aminosalicylic in the treatment of moderate-severe UC exacerbation.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate dose response of JNJ-54781532 in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).

Endoscopic high-frequency soft coagulation is available for the management of bleeding or nonbleeding visible vessels during endoscopic submucosal dissection. However, its efficacy on peptic ulcer bleeding has not been elucidated so far. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of hemostasis with soft coagulation using hemostatic forceps by comparing it with argon plasma coagulation (APC) in a prospective, randomized trial.

The primary aims of this phase I/II, randomized, placebo controlled study are the assessment of safety and tolerability of universal donor FMT compared to placebo in pediatric and young adult subjects (ages 5 years through 30 years) with active ulcerative colitis (UC) or active Crohn's colitis (CD) who have failed, are intolerant to, or have refused traditional first-line maintenance therapy. Secondary objectives include the identification biomarkers in both donor and recipient that may confer a clinical response and to establish whether or not ongoing FMT maintenance therapy is required for maintenance of clinical benefit in pediatric UC or pediatric CD.
