Active clinical trials for "Ulcer"

This is a prospective, phase I-II, randomised, open-label clinical trial that will evaluate the safety and feasibility, as well as clinical efficacy evidence, of a bioengineered anterior corneal substitute in adults with severe trophic corneal ulcers. This model of human anterior allogeneic cornea will provide an alternative approach in cases where human donor keratoplasty is not an option.

Chronic foot ulcers are particularly prevalent in patients with underlying diabetes mellitus. These ulcers are reported to be the leading cause of hospitalization among people with diabetes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate CureXcell® in treating chronic lower extremity ulcers in adults with diabetes mellitus. CureXcell® is a cell based therapy, containing activated homologous white blood cells prepared from donated healthy whole blood. A total of 280 patients will be randomized to receive either CureXcell® or sham.

Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a life-long incurable disease with remissions and exacerbations. Inflammation confined to the rectum occurs in a quarter of patients and can be extremely hard to treat. Many medications have been tried in order to control the inflammation, but they do not always work. One of the newer medications is the immunosuppressing medication, tacrolimus that has been shown to be effective in UC when taken orally. Unfortunately, the oral use of this medication can have numerous serious side effects. In order to overcome these side effects, the use of topical rectal tacrolimus has been examined. Pilot studies in ulcerative proctitis (inflammation confined to the rectum) resistant to conventional therapies have demonstrated a clinical remission in 75% of patients and although the medication was well absorbed through the lining of the bowel, the levels in the blood were very low and no serious side effects were reported. The findings suggest that this preparation is indeed effective for inflammation in the distal bowel and that the method of administration reduces side effects. Further work, however, now needs to be undertaken to validate the original findings.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of cellular dermal replacement tissue vs. non-viable extracellular matrix (ECM) for the treatment of non-healing diabetic foot ulcers. Our hypothesis is that these devices are of equal efficacy.

The purpose of this research study is to: 1) Test the safety and tolerability of 2 different oral doses of SRT2104 in subjects with ulcerative colitis 2) Determine the amount of SRT2104 measured from a single blood sample in addition to colon and/or rectal tissue samples (biopsies) 3) Determine whether SRT2104 has any anti-inflammatory effect on the colon and/or rectum when taken orally for 8 weeks 4) Determine whether SRT2104 causes any detectable changes to specific biomarkers. A biomarker is a biological marker (or substance such as a protein) that is used as an indicator of changes in a biological state that corresponds to the risk or progression of a disease.

The objective of the proposed study is to determine whether BL-7040 demonstrates clinical efficacy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

An open, non-comparative, multi-centre post marketing clinical follow-up, PMCF, investigation to evaluate performance and safety on diabetic foot ulcer, dfu, when using mepilex transfer Ag as intended.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Prontosan® Wound Irrigation Solution in the treatment of hard-to-heal venous leg ulcers compared to wound irrigation with saline solution Methodology: Randomised, controlled multi-centre, prospective clinical trial Planned number of subjects: 20 patients in experimental group (Prontosan® Wound Irrigation Solution) 8 patients in control group (wound irrigation with saline) Products under investigation: Prontosan® Wound Irrigation Solution Study Duration: 3-4 weeks

Open-label, 8 week study, to assess the efficacy and safety of oral Budesonide-MMX 9 mg Extended-release Tablets in patients with mild to moderate, active ulcerative colitis who are not in remission based on the Ulcerative Colitis Disease Activity Index in study CB-01-02/01 (parent study [NCT00679432]).

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of four weeks of treatment with Santyl Ointment, compared to White Petrolatum, on the change from baseline in wound area of diabetic foot ulcers over four weeks, and on the proportion of subjects achieving complete wound closure within 12 weeks from initiation of treatment.
