Active clinical trials for "Ulcer"

The investigators intend to screen for new donors, given that there may a donor effect (PubMed ID: 25857665), with some donors not inducing remission in any patient whilst others inducing remission in 20-40% of cases. It is important to give UC patients participating in RCTs stool that has been demonstrated to be effective in some patients. We therefore propose to conduct an open label study in patients with active UC to ensure new donors are effective at inducing remission in some patients. Patients that have FMT will relapse within 18 months (PubMed ID: 25857665) although further FMT therapy induces remission so it is possible that maintenance FMT will result in long term remission, but this needs evaluation. We will therefore follow UC patients that have responded to FMT long term in this open label study.

This randomised trial plans to compare oral tofacitinib with intravenous cyclosporine in patients with acute severe ulcerative colitis who have failed to respond to intravenous steroids

The study is to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of frozen FMT delivery via retention enema compared to lyophilized powder given in oral capsules as induction FMT in subjects with active UC. This study will also determine changes in microbiome (diversity and genera) and proportion of antibody-coated microbiota from baseline to after completion of FMT.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic, chronic, inflammatory disease affecting the colon. Participants with UC have mucosal inflammation starting in the rectum that can extend continuously to proximal segments of the colon. This study will assess how safe and effective Rinvoq is in treating adult participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC). Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed. Rinvoq is a drug approved for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). All study participants will receive Rinvoq as prescribed by their study doctor in accordance with approved local label. Approximately 300 adult participants will be enrolled in Japan. Participants will receive upadacitinib as prescribed by their physician according to their routine clinical practice and local label. Participants will be followed for up to 60 weeks. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic according to their routine clinical practice.

A clinical trial will be carried out comparing the efficacy of PICO system based on negative pressure therapy (NPT) in adults with chronic ulcers compared to conventional treatments.

We assume that the frequency of gastrojejunostomy ulcers after MGB-OAGB is associated with the peculiarities of the side-to-side gastrojejunostomy (GJS) formation, which is currently the "gold standard" for this procedure. The geometry of such anastomosis leads to the formation of a narrow strip of the gastric wall between two stapler lines (between the suture from the 2nd cassette during the formation of the "small ventricle" and directly from the suture from the cassette during the GJS formation). Perhaps this section of the stomach wall is prone to ischemia, which can certainly increase the risk of ulcer formation. It is also possible that a zone with impaired blood supply may also form in the "blind pocket" above the anastomosis. When forming a Hand-Sewn GJS of the end-to-side type, ischemia zones do not occur. The anastomosis has a more physiological geometry, there is no conflict between the lines of stapled sutures. Thus, we put forward the assumption that a serious risk factor for the development of a GJS ulcer was eliminated when switching to a completely manual technique for the GJS formation when performing MGB-OAGB. The study is aimed at the compare the incidence of GJS ulcers during MGB-OAGB, depending on the techniques of anastomosis formation.

Within their lifetime, over 30% of people living with diabetes will develop a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), many of which will never heal and may require amputation. Removable cast walkers (RCWs) are commonly prescribed to offload (treat) DFUs. While RCWs are prescribed to be worn during all weight bearing activities, adherence to this prescription is low. This is a serious concern given that low adherence predicts poor DFU healing. This study will provide pilot/feasibility data to inform a larger clinical trial to evaluate the impact of existing RCW designs on adherence and DFU healing. We will also quantify the effect of RCW form on biomechanical and self-reported measures related to usability. Our working hypothesis is that healing outcomes with a given RCW will be predicted by biomechanical and self-reported measures of RCW usability, with the predictive relationship partly explained by the effect of these measures on adherence.

comparison between outcomes of both open and laparoscopic repair of perforated peptic ulcer

patients reporting at the department of oral medicine with the complain of oral ulceration will be asked to participate in this study.

The role of exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) in the induction of remission in pediatric patients with Crohn's disease had been well documented. But the role of EEN in children with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) was not clear. In this study, EEN will be combined with corticosteroids or infliximab in the induction of remission in pediatric UC patients with moderate to severe disease activity. The mucosal healing rate at week12 will be compared between the two groups (combine with EEN group VS non-combine group).
