Active clinical trials for "Ulcer"

The primary objective of this trial is to investigate if a daily dose of minimum 50 billion CFU of Bif195 reduces the risk of small-intestinal tissue damage in an acetylsalicylic acid challenge model as assessed by video capsule endoscopy in a healthy US population aged 40 - 60 years.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of upadacitinib compared to placebo in inducing clinical remission (per Adapted Mayo score) in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).

The study is planned as a randomised control trial to study the adjuvant use of antibiotics (ceftriaxone and metronidazole) to achieve a clinical response in hospitalised patients with acute severe ulcerative colitis

It is hypothesized that application at 4-week intervals of the human umbilical cord tissue TTAX01 to the surface of a well debrided, nonhealing venous leg ulcer (VLU) will result in a high proportion of wounds showing complete healing within 12 weeks of initiating therapy. This open label pilot study provides a framework for a larger, controlled study. The purposes for conducting this study are to evaluate the functionality of the protocol and to obtain an estimate of product safety and efficacy when applied according to the protocol instructions, and measured according to the stated endpoints.

To define the parameters for dose-dependent engraftment of MET-2 commensal bacteria for the treatment of mild to moderate ulcerative colitis

Primary Objective: To assess the safety profile of TWB-103 administered to subjects with diabetic lower limb ulcers Secondary Objective: To explore the efficacy of TWB-103 administered to subjects with diabetic lower limb ulcers

This study is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, placebo controlled, adaptive design study performed to assess the safety and the efficacy of 5% EscharEx (EX-02) compared to Gel Vehicle (placebo) and non-surgical standard of care (NSSOC), in debridement of Venous Leg Ulcers (VLU) (in a ratio of 2:2:1) in debridement of VLU. The main objective of this study is: To assess the safety and the efficacy of EscharEx (EX-02 formulation) compared to Gel Vehicle (placebo) and non-surgical standard of care (NSSOC), in debridement of Venous Leg Ulcers (VLU). 120 randomized adult patients with VLU that fail to heal for 4 weeks to 2 years, and with >50% non-viable tissue (necrotic/slough/fibrin) on the VLU. The maximum number of patients to be enrolled is 160. The total duration of the study of each participating subject is up to 17 weeks: screening (1 week) + Daily visit period (up to 2 weeks) + Twice-weekly visits period (2 weeks) + Weekly visits period (10 weeks) + closure confirmation (up to 2 weeks, if applicable). Each patient will go through 4 periods during the trial: Screening period (2 visits, 7 [+2] days apart). Including: recording demographics, medical history and concomitant medications, vital signs, physical examination, clinical laboratory tests, wound photography and assessments and questionnaires (pain, wound status and QoL). During this period, wounds will be treated by standard treatment (e.g. appropriate dressing, compression bandage) per investigator discretion, with the exclusion of mechanical and surgical debridement. During the one week screening period, patients whose wound size (surface area, as measured by eKare inSightTM) decreases by more than 20 percent will be excluded. Daily visits period (up to 8 daily site visits within up to 14 days): During the Daily visit period, the patient will arrive daily to site visits. During each visit, adverse events, concomitant medication, vital signs and pain will be recorded, the wound will be washed, photographed and assessed for wound size (by eKare inSightTM), % of non viable tissue (by clinical assessment), and wound healing status (assessed clinically). Eligible patients will be randomized into one of the study arms: EX-02, or Gel Vehicle (Placebo), or NSSOC in a 2:2:1 ratio. Patients will be treated with up to 8 daily 24±3 hours applications or until complete debridement is achieved, whichever occurs first. On the weekends between treatments of EX-02 or Gel material, the wound will be dressed with a compatible dressing, and by compression therapy. Patients treated with NSSOC continue using NSSOC during the weekend according to label or instructions for use, and compression therapy. Twice-weekly visits period (4 visits within 14 days): the patients will be followed twice weekly for two weeks, (4 visits within 14 days). During each visit, safety parameters will be recorded (AEs, concomitant medications, pain, vital signs), the wound will be washed, photographed and assessed for wound size (by eKare inSightTM), % of nonviable tissue (by clinical assessment), and wound healing status (assessed clinically). The investigator will clinically assess complete debridement, upon achieving a viable wound bed after removal of all non-viable tissue, suitable for initiation of the wound healing stage. Weekly visits period (up to10 visits within up to 10 weeks): patients will be followed once weekly for 10 weeks or until complete wound closure was achieved, (up to10 visits within up to 10 weeks). During each weekly visit, safety parameters will be recorded (AEs, concomitant medications, pain, vital signs), the wound will be washed, photographed and assessed for wound size (by eKare inSightTM), % of nonviable tissue (by clinical assessment), and wound healing status (assessed clinically). The investigator will clinically assess complete debridement, upon achieving a viable wound bed after removal of all non-viable tissue, suitable for initiation of the wound healing stage. Complete wound closure defined as skin re-epithelialization without drainage or dressing requirements confirmed at two consecutive study visits, 2 weeks apart will be assessed clinically. Thus, if closure occurs close to the end of weekly visit period, i.e. on 9th or 10th visit of the weekly period, an additional confirmation visit will be performed 2 weeks later.

This study is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DermACELL in subjects with a single target chronic venous leg ulcer (VLU).

The primary objective of this post market clinical follow-up (PMCF) investigation is to confirm the safety and performance of Avance®Solo and Avance®Solo Adapt NPWT Systems in low to moderate exuding chronic wounds when used in accordance with the Instructions for Use, for up to 28 days.

Peptic ulcer bleeding is a common emergency for patients who need therapeutic endoscopy. According to international guidelines and Taiwan consensus, the standard therapy included proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and endoscopic therapy. For high-risk peptic ulcers, such as active spurting, oozing bleeding, a nonbleeding visible vessel or ulcers with adherent clots, we apply endoscopic hemostasis with epinephrine injection in combination with either heater probe coagulation, hemoclipping and/or rubber band ligation. Parenteral high-dose PPI is administered after endoscopic hemostasis. Though current standard endoscopic therapy plus PPI infusion are highly effective, 5%-10% of the patients still experience recurrence of bleeding after the initial treatment. It is still an important issue to reduce recurrent peptic ulcer bleeding after standard endoscopic therapy. Tranexamic acid reduces bleeding by inhibiting clot breakdown by inhibiting the degradation of fibrin by plasmin. It is effective to be used topically to reduce bleeding during surgery. However, the effect of application of tranexamic acid orally or intravenously for gastrointestinal bleeding was still controversial, probably because that the route of tranexamic acid use is not precise at the bleeding site. Tranexamic acid has anti-fibrinolytic effects at the bleeding site, so it is possible that use of tranexamic acid locally may have better efficacy than via intravenous or oral route. We propose to investigate the effectiveness and safety when using tranexamic acid locally under endoscopic guidance in patients with peptic ulcer bleeding after standard endoscopic therapy.
