Active clinical trials for "Ulcer"

This multicenter randomized controlled trial compares immediate foam sclerotherapy vs. scheduled endovenous treatment in patients with venous ulceration.

The main aim of the study is to learn if 4-weekly vedolizumab improves symptoms of Japanese participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD). Vedolizumab is commercially available in Japan for 8-weekly treatment but not for 4-weekly treatment. The study doctors will also monitor side effects from the study treatment. This study will take place in Japan. At the first visit, the study doctor will check if each person can take part. For those who can take part, participants will receive vedolizumab intravenously once every 4 weeks. After 3 infusions of vedolizumab (which will be 12 weeks of treatment), the study doctor will assess if symptoms of the participants have improved. Participants who do not have improved symptoms after 12 weeks of treatment with vedolizumab will stop this treatment. Then, they will visit the study clinic 16 weeks after their last infusion of vedolizumab for a final check-up. Participants who have improved symptoms after 12 weeks of treatment with vedolizumab will continue to receive vedolizumab every 4 weeks. Then, after their last infusion of vedolizumab, the participants will visit the study clinic 16 weeks later for a final check-up. Finally, the study clinic will make a phone call to each participant 6 months after their last infusion to check if they have any health problems.

Leg ulcers are areas of epidermal discontinuity in lower limbs with causes of venous, arterial, diabetic, pressure, traumatic, allergic, or inflammation. Chronic venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are defined as leg ulcers persisting for 4 weeks or more, a.k.a C6 in CEAP classification of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and account for up to 70% of all chronic leg ulcers exhibiting overall prevalence of up to 2% in the general population of western countries with significant morbidity and a negative socioeconomic impact. Wound care, debridement, bed rest with leg elevation, and compression are basic approaches for chronic VLUs. Meanwhile, numerous medical and surgical interventions were developed to promote wound healing and to prevent recurrence by focusing on pathophysiology of chronic VLUs. However, many strategies just have adjuvant effects or exert debatable benefits. The lymphatic system been considered important for removal of excessive fluid from the interstitial space, absorption of fat from the intestine and the immune system, actively involved in regulation of immune cell trafficking and inflammation. Emerging lymphovenous bypass (LVB), a supermicrosurgical technique diverting lymphatic drainage into venous system in dealing with lymphedema, not only restores TH1 and TH2 imbalance, but decreases oxidative stress and increases antioxidant capacity in the serum of lymphedema patients. Clinically, LVB could be an alternative treatment option for patients with lymphorrhea. Based on these facts, the investigators hypothesis that lymphatic hypertension and lymph impregnation contributes chronic venous leg ulcer formation and propose a novel strategy, using LVB to treat patients with refractory/recurrent chronic VLUs. The preliminary results revealed promising results and the investigators would go on clinical trials.

It is hypothesized that application at 4-week or greater intervals of the human placental umbilical cord tissue TTAX01 to the surface of a well debrided, complex diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) will, with concomitant management of infection, result in a higher rate of wounds showing complete healing within 25 weeks of initiating therapy, compared with standard care alone. This second confirmatory Phase 3 study examines a population of diabetic foot ulcer patients having adequate perfusion, with or without neuropathy, and a high suspicion of associated osteomyelitis in a complex, high grade wound.

This study is designated to: investigate the tolerance and safety of treatment of Human placental mesenchymal stem cells gel on Human diabetic foot ulcer. learn the primary effectiveness of Human placental mesenchymal stem cells gel on Human diabetic food ulcer. study the pharmacokinetics of Human placental mesenchymal stem cells gel on Human diabetic food ulcer.

202 Diabetic foot ulcers will be cleaned with either Hypochlorous Acid, HClO or Polyhexamethylene biguanide, PHMB twice a week until healed or 24 weeks. Primary objective is to find out if cleaning DFU with HClO is more effective in obtaining complete healing than PHMB.

This is a randomized, controlled study evaluating empagliflozin tablets administered daily for 8 weeks. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of empagliflozin in the treatment of mild to moderately active ulcerative colitis. Disease activity will be measured using Mayo score for ulcerative colitis activity. Calculation of the score requires patients to undergo colonoscopy at the start of the study and at week 8.

The researchers intend to prospectively study the safety, clinical efficacy and microbial outcomes in patients with recently diagnosed UC with FMT capsule therapy derived from pre-defined donors. Donors will be specifically screened for Fusobacterium and Sutterella species as well as for global diversity. It is unknown if treatment with antibiotics before FMT improves the engraftment and/or efficacy of FMT in UC, therefore the researchers plan to randomize subjects to receive pre-treatment with antibiotics or not before FMT therapy. The research team enroll patients from The Susan and Leonard Feinstein IBD Center and our established early diagnosis clinic at Mount Sinai Hospital (MSH).

Upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (UGIH) is common urgency condition.The estimate mortality rate about 7 percent from peptic ulcers disease(PUD). A proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) intravenous infusion are standard treatment for high risk ulcer bleeding. Vonoprazan,subclass of potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs), have beneficial effects including rapid, long-lasting and strong acid suppression.The investigators design a randomized-controlled trial comparison between 72 hours of intravenous PPIs infusion and oral vonoprazan in high risk ulcer UGIH after achieve endoscopic hemostasis. Outcome measurement are re-bleeding rate in 30 days as primary and re-bleeding rate in 3 days, 30 days mortality, rate of angioembolisation, unit of blood transfusion, hospital cost and length of stay as secondary outcome.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of MK-6194 in participants with active UC.
