Active clinical trials for "Ulcer"

Have indolent diabetic ulcers completely healed by the Acellular Porcine Dermal Matrix (APM) in 12 weeks.

Based upon the in-vitro data AQUACEL® Extra™ achieves a 39% increase in absorbency. As such it is anticipated that through improved exudate management a longer wear time will be achieved in the AQUACEL® Extra™ group compared to AQUACEL® in the management of chronic wounds such as venous leg ulcers.

The goal of this study is to evaluate changes in the healing tissue of diabetic foot wounds following 14 days of treatment with Santyl or its vehicle base.

This is a multicenter trial comparing laparoscopic correction of a perforated peptic ulcer with the open technique by upper laparotomy. Hypothesis is that after laparoscopic correction will be discharged 3 days sooner due to less postoperative pain and complications.

The purpose of this grant is to collect pilot data to assess the amount of botulinum toxin that needs to be injected into the calf muscles of subjects with diabetes mellitus, peripheral neuropathy, and a plantar ulcer to decrease muscle strength. We hypothesize that a decrease in plantar flexor muscle strength will temporarily decrease plantar pressure. The decrease in plantar pressure will provide temporary protection to the new tissue as it gains tolerance to high stress with the long term potential outcome as a decrease in the ulcer recurrence rate.

The hypothesis of the study is that at least one dose of CP 690 550 is superior to placebo (inactive drug) in inducing remission in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.

For patients with ulcerative colitis, eligible for surgical treatment, which restorative surgical procedure: the standard ileo pouch anal anastomosis or the alternative ileo neo rectal anastomosis is the best in terms of complications, functional outcome and health status and quality of life.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if hyperbaric oxygen therapy heels more foot ulcers as compared to placebo in patients with diabetes mellitus and chronic foot ulcers.

Children with acute diseases with oral ulcers (not included PRESENTATIONS OF SLE, IBD or IMMUNOCOMPRMIZED STATES)will receive several doses (drinking or mouth rinsing) of either pasteurized goat milk or cow milk. Children will than be followed for length of the disease - signs and symptoms.

The PROCTO trial is a double-blind randomized, placebo-controlled, 24-week, comparative, exploratory phase II proof of concept trial. The trial will be conducted with 2 treatment groups as a parallel group comparison and will serve to compare a 7500 TSO regimen vs. placebo for achieving clinically meaningful responses in Ulcerative Colitis.
