Active clinical trials for "Ulcer"

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out the changes in peak pressure and pressure-time integral after twelve weeks from the initial utility of foot insoles and eight weeks later as a follow-up in diabetic foot ulcers. Participants will be randomly assigned to foot insole, medication, and wound care (study group) or medication and wound care (control group).

The goal of this clinical trial to follow the progress of wounds in those with chronic venous leg ulcers while using a non-bordered foam dressing. The main objective is to follow the progress of these wounds over time from initial visit to each follow-up visit. Participants will be asked to wear the dressing for up to 6 weeks of treatment or until healed, changed at every one-week interval.

Prospective, single-center, sham-controlled, double-blinded 12-week study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the RAVANS device in subjects with Ulcerative Colitis. The goal of the study is to distinguish sham (no stimulation) versus treatment (stimulation) response and to identify treatment responders. The study will last 12 weeks with in-clinic visits at 0 weeks and 12 weeks, and a telehealth-visit at week 6. Additionally, unscheduled visits may occur based on the needs of the subject or at the discretion of the investigator. Subjects will be randomized 2:1 to treatment or sham, and will stimulate at home twice per day.

A Research Study to evaluate the therapeutic effect of Fespixon cream in patients suffering from DFU (UTWCS Grade III-A or III-B) by measuring the change of grade of UTWCS (University of Texas Diabetic Wound Classification system), wound area reduction, infection control, and incidence of treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE).

PHASE: IV DESCRIPTIVE: Randomized, interventional, open label multicenter trial POPULATION: Moderate to severe ulcerative colitis STUDY TREATMENTS: Patients will all receive Adalimumab 160/80/40mg EOW until V1 (W14) followed by 40mg EOW until V2 (W26) and could be optimized up to 80mg EOW (or 40 EW according to patient and/or investigator preference) for two months and then could be optimized up to 80mg EOW (or 40 EW according to patient and/or investigator preference) and azathioprine (2.0/2.5 mg/kg/ day) or methotrexate (25 mg EW) until V3 (W 38). OBJECTIVES: To assess the impact of a treat to target treatment follow up by e-Monitoring and fecal calprotectin dosing at home associated to an appropriate patient education versus standard treatment follow up at W48 in patients requiring a treatment with adalimumab (Humira®).

This is a small pilot study of the fermented soybean extract MicrSoy-20(MS-20) to confirm its ability to improve UC severity with the treatment of standard therapies. The primary endpoint, structural alteration of gut microbiota during the trial will be analyzed. Secondary endpoints aim to observe the changes of partial Mayo score, patient response of medication of UC treatments, biomarker changes in blood, and safety after taking MS-20.

The purpose of this study is to determine if Aquamin® works as a potential treatment to improve symptoms and if it will induce remission in patients with mild Ulcerative Colitis and extend remission in Ulcerative Colitis in remission.

A Research Study to evaluate the safety and potential efficacy of ON101 cream for the treatment of venous leg ulcers.The objectives of the study are to determine the safety and to explore the potential efficacy of ON101 cream in patients with venous leg ulcers.

The purpose of this study is to develop a short message-based customized standardized diabetic foot ulcer patient education program, and to test the effect of the program on diabetic foot ulcer self-management behavior, self-efficacy, wound prognosis, and quality of life. The short message-based customized standardized patient education program combines several smartphone message-based standardized educational contents to construct a customized patient education program which is according to the needs of patients, thus providing individualized patient education in a timely manner

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) represent a group of immune-mediated disorders, in which currently unidentified trigger factors drive the manifestation of chronic relapsing- remitting destructive inflammatory episodes in the gut. IBD comprise two main disease entities, ulcerati\ie colitis (UC) and Crohn s disease (CD). The diseases differ in anatomical distribution, with continuous, uniform inflammation restricted to the colon in UC, and multifocal inflammation extended throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus in CD. Clinical symptoms of IBD may include bloody stools, abdominal pain, fatigue, diarrhoea, fever and weight loss. Extra-intestinal symptoms occurring in up to 40% of patients, e.g. anaemia, skin lesions (e.g. erythema nodosum, pyoderma), arthritis and uveitis, and other complications directly related to the disease organ, such as fistula in CD are considered to reflect an overwhelming systemic inflammatory state. Disease onset typically manifests at age 15-35 years, men and women are almost equally affected. In addition, paediatric forms of IBD that often represent complex, se\/ere monogenic forms of the disease, are seen. The incidence rates of IBD in Europe are about 6.3 (CD) and 11.8 (UC) per 100.000 persons. With growing incidence rates and overall reduced mortality the lifetime prevalence of IBD is expected to rise. The estimated lifetime prevalence of 0.3%-0.5% of the European population corresponds to estimates of 1.5-2 million patients with IBD. Appropriate selection of therapies and their timing of introduction (decision support) in the course of IBD will be essential to reach a higher degree of disease control (across patients and within individual patients) than it is achie\led today. In many instances, comparati\ie data is missing and combinations or sequential therapies are not developed. In summary, despite some treatment successes, major challenges remain. The investigators have decided to include patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in which targeted therapies are administered as part of standard helathcare and which aims at identifiyng solid biomarker signatures as well as molecular pathways and mechanisms linked to response and non-response to therapy. Choice od medications (which are all approved for first line use) is by treating physicians. All follow-up procedures are according to standards of care.
