Active clinical trials for "Ulcer"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JNJ-78934804 as compared to guselkumab and golimumab in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who have had an inadequate initial response, loss of response, or intolerance to one or more approved advanced therapy.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term efficacy of mirikizumab in pediatric participants with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD). The study will last about 172 weeks and may include up to 44 visits.

The study will assess the efficacy and safety of oral MT-1303 compared to placebo at 12 weeks as the induction treatment in subjects with active mild to moderate ulcerative colitis (UC), as well as maintenance treatment with open-label MT-1303 for up to 36 weeks.

This project adopts a prospective clinical trial study to compare and evaluate the efficacy of local transplantation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells combined with silver ion dressing and simple silver ion dressing in the treatment of venous lower extremity ulcer wounds. To improve the healing rate and quality of life of patients.

Short Title: ExoFlo for ulcerative colitis Phase: 1 Methodology: Open label Study Duration: 24 months Subject Participation: 58 weeks Single or Multi-Site: Multi-Site

A Randomized, Multicenter, Open Label Study Comparing Omeza Combination Therapy with Standard of Care to Standard of Care alone for Chronic Venous Leg Ulcers over the course of 4 weeks

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of using the PXL Platinum 330 System with riboflavin solution for performing corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) for the treatment of previously untreated corneal ulcers. The PXL Platinum 330 System is a combination product consisting of an ultraviolet A (UV-A) 365 nm wavelength light source (PXL Platinum 330 Illumination System) and riboflavin (Riboflavin 0.23% PESCHKE-L Solution) administered in conjunction with the UV-A light as a photosensitizer. The PXL Platinum 330 System is intended to induce corneal collagen CXL to improve the biomechanical properties of the cornea by strengthening the corneal tissue in the anterior stroma. Corneal collagen CXL is performed by pretreating the cornea with riboflavin ophthalmic solution beginning 40 min before UV-A light exposure to saturate the corneal tissue with the riboflavin photosensitizer. The cornea is then irradiated with UV-A light (365 nm) at an irradiance of 18 mW/cm2 (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) for 10 min. Exposure of the cornea to this UV-A light regimen after topical administration of riboflavin ophthalmic solution has been shown to induce CXL of the corneal collagen fibrils, with a resultant increase in tensile strength and diameter of the collagen fibrils. Clinically, CXL has been shown to stabilize the corneal curvature in eyes with progressive keratoconus, with no significant change in the refractive index of the cornea. Numerous reports and a few clinical trials have also shown benefit in aiding resolution of infective corneal ulcers.

The aim of the study is to improve the quality of nutritional therapy for patients admitted with Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis (ASUC) treated with high-dose steroids. This study consists of two randomized interventions and one observational part regarding protein, magnesium, and metabolic stress. First an interventional part aims to explore the effect of a high-protein diet during and after admission on different parameters regarding protein turnover.Second the study aims to explore the degree of magnesium depletion in ASUC. In case of magnesium depletion, the study aims to investigate whether oral magnesium supplementation can regain body stores of magnesium. Last the study aims to observe the degree of metabolic stress, including, the degree of insulin resistance, in ASUC during admission and under treatment with high-dose steroids compared to three weeks after discharge.

The hypothesis of this study is that appropriate time of day of administration of oral, once daily 5-ASA therapy in alignment with the host circadian rhythms will improve subclinical inflammation and microbial structure/function and increase mucosal 5-ASA levels. All subjects will be randomized to once daily 5-ASA medications at two different times of the day: between 06:00 - 10:00 h or 18:00 - 22:00 h. Three disease assessments will performed at: 1) enrollment just before randomization; 2) month 3, at the completion of first arm (Condition 1), and 3) month 6, after completion of the second arm (Condition 2). During these study time points, participants will be asked to complete questionnaires, track their 5-ASA medication usage, provide a stool sample, blood draw, urine test, wear a watch to measure sleep patterns, and complete a flexible sigmoidoscopy.

This is a twelve-week single-center, randomized, double-blind, clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a folic acid wound treatment (FAWT) versus Placebo in the promotion of healing of chronic, early stage diabetic foot ulcer (ES-DFU) wounds. Male and female Veterans with type-2 diabetes mellitus and chronic ES-DFUs acceptable to the study inclusion/exclusion criteria will be considered for enrollment.
