Active clinical trials for "Ulcer"

A randomized controlled trial will be performed to confirm preliminary uncontrolled data indicating that regional adipose tissue grafting is effective in inducing digital ulcer healing in patients with systemic sclerosis. Systemic Sclerosis patients with digital ulcers will be randomized to be blindly treated with adipose tissue implantation or a sham procedure. Adipose tissue grafting will consist of injection at the base of the finger with digital ulcer of 0.5-1 ml of adipose tissue after centrifugation of fat aspirate. Sharm procedure will consist of false liposuction and local injection of saline solution. The primary end-point will be to compare the cumulative prevalence of healed digital ulcers in the two groups within the following 8 weeks.

100 consenting subjects with Texas grade 1a diabetic foot ulcers will be randomized to surgical offloading or non-operative offloading.

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory disease of the colon that is characterized by abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. The pathogenesis of UC involves a complex interplay of genetic factors, immune dysregulation and environmental triggers. Conventional therapies for UC (including 5-aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine and biologics) focus on altering the immune response by suppression of immune cells. However, the primary pathogenic mechanism underlying UC maybe gut microbiota dysbiosis and a dysfunctional intestinal barrier resulting in an aberrant host immune response. Several studies have shown reduced microbial diversity in UC patients with under representation of anti-inflammatory phyla (Bacteroides and Firmicutes), and a relative increase of pro-inflammatory phyla (Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria). Motivated by this, therapies targeting intestinal dysbiosis (prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics and fecal microbiota transplant (FMT)) have thus been tried in patients with UC. Though several case series and subsequently four high quality randomized controlled trails have established the efficacy of FMT in induction of remission in active UC, all these studies have used it as an add-on therapy, along with the previously ongoing conventional therapies. The investigators aim to assess the safety and efficacy of FMT as the sole modality for induction of remission in patients with newly diagnosed active UC.

The study is conducted to assess the effects of immediately started foam sclerotherapy in venous ulcer compared to early intervention.

This study investigates the effect of individualized monotherapy with Mesalazine (Pentasa Sachet ®) on time to remission in patients with mild to moderate UC in an eHealth setting.

Ulcerative colitis patients treated with Infliximab (IFX) in deep remission after at least 12 months of treatment will be randomized to continue IFX or to stop IFX and start Azathioprine (AZA). Each patient will be followed for 12 months.

This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled clinical study Of PuraPly® AM and standard of care (SOC) compared to SOC alone for the management of Stage II-IV pressure ulcers located in the gluteal, ischial, hip, sacral, coccygeal, and trochanteric, malleolus, or heel area.

The goals of this series of studies is to test the effect of RIC on chronic leg ulcers (Diabetic ulcers and venous ulcers) - and to improve the understanding of its biological mechanism. This is a prospective, double-blind, randomized, shame procedure-controlled study.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using mesenchymal stromal cell derivatives (dac-MSCs) in the treatment of chronic diabetic foot ulcers (type 1 and 2) in adults. A third of the participants will receive dac-MSCs and Triticum vulgare (Fitostimoline) in combination, the other third MSCs and Fitostimoline in combination, and the last third only Fitosimoline. This study will be a randomized, blind, and parallel and controlled-group trial.

This study will compare the proportion of patients who have wound closure within 12 weeks as well as the time to wound closure in patients receiving Artacent™ versus standard of care for treatment of non-healing lower extremity wounds. The recurrence of healed wounds will be assessed at 6 months via a telephone survey
