Active clinical trials for "Ulcer"

In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the role of intestinal ultrasound in evaluation of the therapeutic response to biological therapy in patient with ulcerative colitis

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) pose a significant threat to the health and wellbeing of diabetic patients. Affecting around 1 in 10 people (NHS North West Coast Strategic Clinical Networks, 2017) regardless of a diabetes type they often result in a drastically worsened quality of life and can lead to severe consequences including leg amputations. This survey will help to understand what role various environmental factors have on the incidence, severity and recurrence of DFUs. Results from this study will help healthcare professionals as well as patients to better understand various factors involved in DFU prevalence. Moreover, this survey could help to appreciate whether a more holistic approach should be followed when assessing DFU risk and deciding on therapy. This study will be run across five sites in England (Royal London Hospital, Royal Free Hospital, Guy's and St Thomas's NHS Foundation Trust, Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust, and Bradford Royal Infirmary) between August 2022 and April 2023 and will involve a small pilot study (informal interview) and an anonymous, ten-minute questionnaire. Any adult with an ongoing or past DFU will be eligible. Participants will be asked about their job type, quality of life, diabetic therapy, comorbidities, and environmental factors questions. There will be an option for a follow-up questionnaire after 12 weeks to understand the healing process and changes to the quality of life following a DFU incident. Additionally, patients may consent to provide access to excerpts from their anonymized medical history details (prescribed medications) to better understand their diabetic and DFU history. This study will be run as part of an industrial, London Interdisciplinary Biosciences Consortium (LIDo) PhD project investigating the autologous platelet-rich plasma gel for diabetic foot ulcers (RAPID™ biodynamic haematogel) with King's College London as funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSCR) and Biotherapy Services Ltd.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate association between ozanimod exposure during pregnancy and subsequent maternal, fetal, and infant outcomes.

The objective of this observational study is to predict healing at 26 weeks after the first visit in patients affected by the first ulcer, by means of combined data monitoring of Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) and temperature measurements during patient visits in hospital. In order to achieve this objective, study aims to produce a logistic regression model and then evaluate its prognostic ability by means of the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver-operating-characteristics (ROC) curve. Patients with diabetes mellitus and suffering from ulcer and receiving health care will undergo regular microcirculatory measurements including LSCI scans in and around the ulcer location and thermography.

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, parallel-group Trial comparing the outcomes associated with the use of AmnioExcel® Plus Placental Allograft Membrane (AmnioExcel® Plus) used in conjunction with Standard of Care (SOC) compared to SOC alone in the management of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).

The purpose of this open, multicenter pilot trial is to assess the impact of the use of an amniotic membrane on the healing of a persistent epithelial lesion or of a corneal ulcer.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether individualized wound prevention instructions will lengthen the ulcer-free period in veterans with recently healed venous ulcers.

This study in venous leg ulcer (VLU) patients will evaluate the use of Cirvo™ therapy for the treatment of VLU when applied for a minimum of two hours daily for up to 12 weeks.

This clinical study is a global, prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled trial to determine if the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) as an adjunctive imaging modality and as an interventional treatment guide will result in a more accurate diagnosis of deep vein occlusion (DVO), will guide optimal therapy, and will provide better clinical outcomes with reduced cost of care for patients presenting with persistent venous leg ulcers (VLUs).

Determine if the use of platelet rich fibrin (PRF) improves the rate and quality of healing for intraoral mucosal and epithelial soft tissue defects.
