Active clinical trials for "Varicose Ulcer"

Background and rationale: Venous leg ulcers (VLU) are slow healing wounds with a recurrence rate up to 70% and a 60% risk of becoming chronic. Currently the Swiss health care system does not take in consideration social and educational needs and support for VLU patients who transition from acute care (hospital care, outpatient care) to home based self-care. To fill this gap, this study proposes to create the Social Legs Program (SLP). Overall objectives: The objectives of the proposed study are to evaluate the impact of a frequented SLP for patients with VLU in terms of their therapeutic adherence and wound healing outcomes (wound size and wound recurrence). Methodology of the planned study: A randomized controlled trial with 268 participants in three Swiss French institutions is proposed. Expected results and impact: The findings of this study will generate new knowledge about support and care management of persons with VLU who transition between acute care settings and home care settings. The findings will contribute to the evidence base of clinical practice guidelines for the care of patients with VLU.

An open, non-comparative, multicenter investigation to evaluate the safety and performance of Exufiber Ag+, a gelling fiber silver dressing, when used in medium to high exuding chronic wounds

Patient with chronic wounds are selected to receive NATROX system ; it's a continous diffusion of oxygen therapy delivery system. This one is put on the wound during a consultation at the hospital and will be followed in home medical care. Every 2 days a nurse renew the application at home and patient recharge the system with oxygen every day. The complete treatment is prescribe for 4 weeks and at the end patient comes to hospital to have a consultation with the doctor.

Does the use of decellularised dermis allograft in addition to compression therapy promote healing in chronic venous leg ulceration compared to compression therapy alone

The Extracellular Matrix (ECM) and Blood Components for Wound Healing feasibility study is a clinical trial approved by Health Canada to study the safety of extracellular matrix (ECM) and autologous blood products in wound healing.

The aim of this trial is to demonstrate the effectiveness of complete wound healing in a prospective, open-label, cohort-controlled trial in which venous leg ulcers (VLU)n will be treated using AutoloGel and case-matched against a concurrent cohort of patients receiving undefined Usual and Customary Care (UCC)

This study is being done to find out if an investigational product called HP802-247 can help people with venous leg ulcers. Investigational means that HP802-247 has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This research is being done to compare the efficacy of HP802-247 plus compression therapy against Vehicle plus compression therapy in achieving complete wound closure over the 12-week treatment period. Vehicle looks the same as HP802-247 but contains no cells. At least 440 subjects will participate. The study is going to be conducted in approximately 5 countries at approximately 50 sites across the European Union.

To evaluate the effectiveness of PriMatrix, PriMatrix Ag, and Standard of Care in the treatment of venous leg ulcers (VLUs).

Silica Gel Fiber is a bioresorbable, inorganic silica gel fibre patch promoting skin tissue growth and enhanced wound healing for all types of chronic wounds. It is applied as patch and will be hold in place by a secondary dressing for maintaining the moist wound environment. The study is aimed to demonstrate superiority over a standard wound treatment for chronic venous leg ulcers. The primary efficacy variable is time to healing.

This efficacy study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of aspirin for venous leg ulcer healing. The study also examines whether patients can be recruited to a larger study. Patients with chronic venous leg ulceration presenting and undergoing care in leg ulcer community clinics or hospital out-patient clinics, or registered with a clinic but are receiving care at home will be recruited. All patients will receive standard compression bandaging. Half of the participants will be randomised to receive aspirin, while the other half will receive a placebo.
