Active clinical trials for "Ulcer"

To investigate if fresh finger prick autologous blood (FAB) instead of serum from venesection, is a safe and effective treatment for dry eyes and corneal ulcers/ epithelial defects. Currently there are no studies on the use of whole fresh blood for the treatment of chronic ulcers, persistent epithelial defects or dry eyes. Unpublished case reports indicate that fresh blood can be an effective tool to the treatment of corneal pathology.

Boron as a naturally occurring element has some metabolic and inflammatory actions. The antibacterial activity against gram negative bacteria is also known. Boron deficiency is shown to be related with impaired wound bone healing in rats. Therefore, special wound care formulas containing boron may have some positive effect on wound healing of the patients with diabetic foot ulcers.

The objectives of this study are to explore the fecal calprotectin (fC) levels of UC patients under adalimumab therapy and the correlation with their general wellbeing (Quality of Life [QoL]), workability, and disease activity.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of erythrocyte-mediated delivery of dexamethasone in steroid-dependent ulcerative colitis patients

The overall objective is to investigate whether antibiotics in the treatment of clinically clean neuropathic and ischaemic ulcers in diabetic foot patients could reduce the incidence of infection and therefore lead to improved outcomes This is a single centre study in which patients with either type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus, who consecutively present to the Diabetic Foot Clinic [DFC] with clean neuropathic (NU) or ischaemic (IU) diabetic foot ulcer without clinical signs of infection will be invited to take part and will express their willingness to take part in the study by signing a consent form. All patients will be treated and followed up in the DFC at King's College Hospital. Patients will be randomised into two groups: an antibiotic group and a control group. The antibiotic group will receive standard treatment along with antibiotics. The control group will have standard treatment alone. Patients from both groups will be reviewed at weekly intervals for a period of 20 weeks. Patients will be removed from the study if they develop clinical signs of infection or if their ulcer heals prior to 20 weeks but will be followed up via routine practice for eventual outcomes

The aims of our study are to evaluate the feasibility and safety of endoscopic injection of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells in human subjects with moderate active ulcerative colitis, assessing the absence of adverse events associated to the investigational drug, and to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment to induce remission of moderate active ulcerative colitis, by improvements in disease activity index, quality of life index, and endoscopic index.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the investigational medicinal product CHRONSEAL intended for future treatment of chronic venous leg ulcers is safe and tolerated and if it has an ulcer size reduction effect when administered to individuals suffering from venous leg ulcers.

The study was designed to evaluate the efficacy an adjuvant use of standard dose or high dose of proton pump inhibitor after combined endoscopic hemostasis therapy.

Study to see if a laser can get rid of bacateria called MRSA in your diabetic ulcer

This study was designed to confirm the clinical benefits and safety of OrCel in the treatment of venous ulcers. OrCel and standard care are compared to standard care alone. Standard care consists of currently accepted compression therapy. Patients are treated for 12 weeks. Patients with healed ulcers are followed for an additional 12 weeks to assess durability of the healed wound.
