Active clinical trials for "Ulcer"

Azathioprine is considered first line immunomodulatory therapy for patients with ulcerative colitis. Up to 50% are treatment failures or experience adverse events leading to treatment withdrawal. Recent evidence suggests that the combination of allopurinol and low dose azathioprine increases the proportion of treatment responders and reduce the risk of adverse events. Objectives: To evaluate the beneficial and harmful effects of low dose azathioprine and allopurinol versus standard azathioprine monotherapy in patients with ulcerative colitis.

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation(FMT) - reconstitution of normal flora by a stool transplant from a healthy individual, is increasingly being recognized as a therapeutic modality for diseases that are associated with gut dysbiosis. This is a placebo-controlled, double blinded interventional study evaluating multiple, oral, fecal microbiota transplantation, administered in newly diagnosed adult patients with mild-moderate UC. The primary objective is to assess the safety and feasibility of multiple, oral, fecal microbiota transplantation,in newly diagnosed adult patients with mild-moderate UC. All processing will occur at the Center for Microbiome Research at Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, under GMP conditions.

The investigators designed this prospective, randomized control study to confirm the efficacy and safety of methylene blue - mediated photodynamic therapy for diabetic lower limb ulcer and to explore its mechanism.

This trial aims to determine whether Jiangzhong Hou Gu® Mi Xi™ is an effective intervention to improve symptoms and indicators in patients with spleen qi deficiency and peptic ulcer diseases.

For acute severe colitis (ASC) patients, corticosteroids (CS) was recommended as the first-line treatment in the guideline, but patients have a great risk of requiring colectomy or turning to second-line treatment. This study aim to verify the effectiveness of ulcerative colitis endoscopic index of severity(UCEIS) in predicting the reaction to corticosteroids, and explores the possibility that noninvasive marker fecal calprotectin (FC) could act as an alternative to UCEIS.

An International Multicenter study evaluation, off the effect of the fully autologous growth factor-containing patch LeucoPatch, on healing of recalcitrant malleoli ulcers. To compare the impact of LeucoPatch as part of usual care in multidisciplinary Foot clinic settings, versus usual care in the same clinics on malleoli ulcers healing.

Ulcerative colitis is a form of inflammatory bowel disease characterized by diffuse inflammation of the colonic mucosa. It affects the rectum and extends proximally along a variable length of the colon. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic condition with a relapsing remitting course. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a subset of adult stem cells residing in many tissues, including bone marrow (BM), adipose tissue, umbilical cord blood. Recent experimental findings have shown the ability of MSCs to home to damaged tissues and to produce paracrine factors with anti-inflammatory properties, potentially resulting in reduction of inflammation and functional recovery of the damaged tissues. The purpose of our study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of the intracolonic injection by using a colonoscope of allogeneic adipose MSCs in patients with moderate active ulcerative colitis.

Leg and foot ulcers due to venous disease or diabetes are chronic wounds that can take 6 or more months to heal. Growth factors have been used to try and improve this healing, however, many such studies have failed, and that is thought to be due enzymes in the wound that degrade the growth factors and prevent them from working. This is a proof of concept study that will evaluate the treatment of chronic leg ulcers with topically applied growth factors that are combined with a therapy to prevent their inactivation in the wound.

The aim of this study is to determine the percentage of healing of active venous ulcers following Terminal Axial Perforator Interruption Reflux Source (tapirs technique) and adjustable compression system versus a control group using the traditional multilayer bandages.

To investigate the effect of Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 Inhibition on wound healing in patients with diabetic foot ulcers, the investigators randomly divided the participants into two groups: saxagliptin with regular treatment group，placebo with regular treatment group. The clinical data are collected at the given time point. This study aimed to observe the potential protective effect of DPP4i on diabetic ulcers.
