Active clinical trials for "Ulcer"

This is a prospective, multicenter, clinical research trial evaluating the clinical outcomes of DermACELL AWM in dermal regeneration.

This study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of single-dose TD-3504 and single dose 15N2-tofacitinib in healthy subjects and subjects with UC. The relative bioavailability of tofacitinib released from TD-3504 compared to co-administered oral heavy-labeled tofacitinib (15N2-tofacitinib) will also be evaluated.

This study was comprised of three substudies. The objective of Substudy 1 was to characterize the dose-response, efficacy, and safety of upadacitinib compared to placebo in inducing clinical remission to identify the induction dose of upadacitinib for further evaluation in Substudy 2. The objective of Substudy 2 was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of upadacitinib compared to placebo in inducing clinical remission in participants. The objective of Substudy 3 was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of upadacitinib compared to placebo in achieving clinical remission in participants who had a response following induction with upadacitinib.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of PF-06480605 in subjects with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Pedyphar® ointment in the healing of foot ulceration in diabetic patients.

Introduction: Foot ulcers are a feared complication among diabetic patients. The ulcers can cause pain, discomfort and reduced quality of life. The development of foot ulcers places the patients at a risk of amputation. In the Danish Health Care System a substantial effort is done to prevent and treat diabetic foot ulcers. A constant research of how to treat these wounds is ongoing. The goal is to optimize wound healing and prevent amputations. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) involves the use of a device that generates low-energy shockwaves through a headpiece, which is placed on the skin of the patient. A small amount of energy will be deposited in the tissue when shockwaves are applied. This stimulates the cells to produce substances that generate new vessels. No side effects to ESWT have been shown. Purpose: The investigators want to test whether shockwave therapy can improve wound healing among diabetic patients with foot ulcers. Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that shockwave therapy accelerates ulcer healing, increases blood flow, reduces pain, and has no side effects. Method: Patients who are interested in participation will be included in the study and divided by randomization into two groups of equal size. The first group is treated with ESWT in combination with regular guideline treatment. The second group is set up as control group and will only receive regular guideline treatment. The participants are examined in different ways to evaluate whether ESWT helps the healing of foot ulcers. The investigators want to measure tissue oxygen pressure and foot sense of touch. The foot ulcers are inspected for infection at every consultation, and a swab sample will be collected at enrollment. The size of the ulcers are measured and photographed each time. The investigators will count how many foot ulcers that are completely healed during the test period and measure the sizes of the remaining foot ulcers. The patients are asked to evaluate pain related to the foot ulcer. Data concerning participants' co morbidities and use of analgesic drugs are obtained from the patient journal and by patient interview. Significance: ESWT should be considered a supplement to existing clinical guidelines in wound management if shown to effectively help healing of diabetic foot ulcers. Improved healing should reduce the heavy workload on care and treatment regarding to these wounds. Hopefully, the frequency of amputations among diabetic patients will decline by implementing new treatment options for the diabetic foot.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of apremilast (30 mg twice daily [BID] and 40 mg BID), compared with placebo, in participants with active Ulcerative Colitis (UC).

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy of filgotinib in the induction and maintenance treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) in participants who are biologic-naive and biologic-experienced. Participants who complete the study, or met protocol specified efficacy discontinuation criteria will have the option to enter a separate, long-term extension (LTE) study (Gilead Study GS-US-418-3899: NCT02914535).

The proposed study is a randomized, double-blind,placebo-controlled, multicenter phase II study to investigate the safety and efficacy of SHR0302 in patients with moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis. The study aims to evaluate the optimal dose of SHR0302 and time needed to induce clinical response in active ulcerative colitis patients. This is an 8+8 weeks study, in which participants who complete the first 8 weeks treatment phase, will have the option to enter a blinded active arms 8-week extension phase. Early withdrawn subjects during the first treatment phase can not enter the extension phase. The total duration of the study participation, including extension and follow-up, will be approximately 18 weeks. SHR0302 is a Janus kinase 1(JAK1) inhibitor, capable of blocking Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STATs) pathway and controlling inflammation. Therefore it has the potential to be a treatment for ulcerative colitis.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that most likely results from the interaction between various environmental and genetic factors. Using probiotics as an adjunct to medical therapy might be useful in the treatment of UC and improving the symptoms of the disease. The result of studies that investigate the role of Probiotics supplementation in improving the inflammatory response, immune response and life quality of patients with the UC is not conclusive. So, this study aimed to study the effect of probiotics on the response of inflammatory markers, immune response, and quality of life in patients with UC. An interventional double-blind randomized clinical trial (RCT) design will be used in this study. Forty patients will be recruited and randomly assigned to the placebo group (n=20) to receive 3 times a day placebo capsules; and probiotics group (n=20), to receive 3 times a day probiotic supplement. The demographic data, anthropometric measurements, IBD Quality of Life Questionnaire and blood samples will be collected at baseline and after 6 weeks of follow up. Interleukin-6, interleukin-1,interleukin-10 IL-10, C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and complete blood count (CBC) will be measured. The results will approve or disapprove the beneficial effect of using probiotics as adjuvant therapy for UC patients to raise the immune system as well as improving their quality of life.
