Active clinical trials for "Ulcer"

Primary Objective: To assess the long term safety and tolerability of SAR339658 Secondary Objective: To assess the long term efficacy of SAR339658

This is a registry study to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of adalimumab in patients with moderately to severely active UC who are treated as recommended in the product label.

The study will investigate efficacy of STW5-II as add-on therapy on the rate to remission in patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis in an acute flare.

This experimental study will look at the effects of INP therapy for two patient groups: 1) patients with reduced peripheral circulation and chronic wounds in patients with renal disease (dialysis patients); 2) and peripheral arterial disease and leg ulcers. The project is designed as a non-randomized clinical trial with single-subject multiple baseline design. Also the intervention will be subjected on the same leg for each individual throughout the study period. The other leg will act as a control. A baseline measure with patient history collection will be performed before a four-week intervention period. These measures include: Segmental pulse-volume-recording, Segmental skin perfusion pressure with a laser Doppler sensor and a pressure cuff to evaluate reactive hyperemia (Sensilase, Väsamed) and a health survey (SF-12/EQ-5D-5L) or similar. After four weeks and eight weeks of intervention, the same tests will be repeated. A final follow-up test will be two weeks after cessation of the intermittent negative pressure intervention. The study will look at the effect of INP on renal failure patients who are given dialysis at a dialysis center located at Oslo University Hospital, Ullevål. Otivio AS has supplied the FlowOx devices and provided the necessary training to perform this project. Outcome variables assessed before, during and after the 10-week study period will be: wound healing, quality of life, skin perfusion pressure and segmental pulse-volume recording. The aim of this project is to prospectively examine and elucidate the effect of intermittent negative pressure therapy on clinically relevant measures related to the reduction of peripheral macro- and microcirculation in patients with renal failure undergoing dialysis treatment. The hypothesis of the study is: Application of INP in patients with renal failure, by the use of the FlowOx™ device, will improve wound healing and peripheral circulation in the foot compared to before treatment (baseline) in patients undergoing dialysis treatment. Application of INP in patients with PAD, by the use of the FlowOx™ device, will improve macro- and microcirculation and wound healing in the foot compared to before treatment (baseline) in patients with chronic wounds.

The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy (by monitoring the wound size reduction) and safety (by monitoring occurring adverse events) of the investigational medicinal product APZ2 after one single application on chronic venous leg ulcer wounds.

The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of lymphoma in adult participants with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis who are treated with Simponi versus those treated with thiopurines.

Epidermal grafts are believed to promote healing by two mechanisms: graft take and the promotion of wound healing through the delivery of growth factors and the essential elements of tissue repair and wound healing.28 This study is intended to establish the superior effectiveness of epidermal grafting and multi-layer compression over that of multi-layer compression alone, in the treatment of venous leg ulcers. Millions of Americans are afflicted with painful, open, draining sores on their lower extremities. These sores are referred to as venous leg ulcerations (VLUs). Under the best of circumstances these ulcers require weeks or months to heal. Not uncommonly wound care specialists see patients who have suffered for years or faced amputation of the limb as their only option to alleviate the pain. Standard of care will result in healing in 50% of venous leg ulcers in 12 weeks. However, roughly half of patients suffering from venous ulcers will require advanced therapy. Epidermal grafting has been a reconstructive option for decades; however, to date there has not been a reliable and reproducible system to harvest epidermis. The CelluTome® Harvesting System permits the harvesting of epidermal blister grafts at the patient's bedside without the need for anesthesia. The grafts can be easily transferred to the wound bed. In case studies, epidermal grafting appeared to be effective in reducing wound size and accelerating closure of venous leg ulcers.

Primary Objective: To assess the efficacy of SAR339658 Secondary Objective: To assess the safety of SAR339658

The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy and side effects, if any, of Dermal - LSR combined with standard treatment. We hypothesize the treatment will provide beneficial results for diabetic patients suffering foot ulcers.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of visilizumab to placebo in subjects with intravenous steroid-refractory ulcerative colitis.
