Filter by:This is a proof of concept, randomized, open label, 2-arm study of OPRX-106 in subjects with active mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. Eligible subjects will be enrolled and randomized to receive 2 mg or 8 mg of OPRX-106 administered orally, once daily for 8 weeks.
To investigate the effect of Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 Inhibition on wound healing in patients with diabetic foot ulcers, the investigators randomly divided the participants into two groups: saxagliptin with regular treatment group，placebo with regular treatment group. The clinical data are collected at the given time point. This study aimed to observe the potential protective effect of DPP4i on diabetic ulcers.
Patients with ulcerative colitis often suffer significant limitations to their quality of life, which are also conditioned by particular stress and psychosocial accompanying symptoms of the disease. A multimodal program for stress-reduction and lifestyle-modification has been shown to be effective in promoting the quality of life. The study will examine the promotion of the quality of life of patients with ulcerative colitis and the positive Influence on stress, psychological symptoms and physiological parameters. 92 patients with ulcerative colitis will be randomized in an Intervention group and a control group for 10 weeks. The primary outcome is the disease-specific quality of life, the secondary outcomes are stress, psychological symptoms, inflammatory parameters, disease activity parameters, bowel parameter and the microbiome.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease, including ulcerative colitis, is thought to result from an imbalance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors. As such, the majority of treatment options are directed at attempting to control the chronic inflammation and prolonging remission of clinical symptoms. Several studies have proven that curcumin has well-established anti-inflammatory properties. However, curcumin has poor bioavailability and prior studies have needed to use high concentrations in order to study the efficacy of the product. The investigators propose that a bio-enhanced preparation of curcumin will require a lower dosage to reach and affect its target tissue and will subsequently produce less adverse side effects.

The aim of the study is to construct and validate an endomicroscopic score correlated with microscopic inflammation activity in patients with UC. Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) is a new endoscopic imaging modality, which offers the possibility to perform in vivo mucosal microscopic analysis in real time during endoscopy. Primary Objectives : Development and validation of a UC endomicroscopic score, after correlation between pCLE data and histological data using the Geboes' score as a gold standard during ulcerative colitis. Secondary Objectives: - Identify predictive factors for the response to adalimumab. - Identify predictive factors for recurrence in patients with UC in remission (Mayo score 0 or 1). - Safety of the pCLE procedure
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Granexin gel is safe and effective in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the NaviAid™ AB in children with known or suspected IBD.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease progressing through flare-ups. The therapeutic objective, which was originally based on clinical remission, is currently evolving with the development of biotherapies towards the achievement of endoscopic remission. Current recommendations for therapeutic management advocate the achievement of endoscopic mucosal healing (EMH), with an observed decrease in the necessity for colectomy in the case of EMH. Endoscopic evaluation of the severity of UC is performed during a digestive endoscopy (colonoscopy for a complete colonic exploration, or recto-sigmoidoscopy for a partial exploration of the colon) from endoscopic activity scores adapted for UC. Currently, the score the most commonly used is the MAYO endoscopic score. This is a global score of increasing intensity from 0 to 3, taking into account the following basic lesions: vascular pattern, granularity or/and friability of the mucosa, spontaneous bleeding, erosion and ulceration. However this score has limits: it does not distinguish deep cavitating ulcerations with mucous detachment from simple ulcerations which have a better prognosis. A new endoscopic score specific for UC has been developed and is currently being validated. It is termed Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Index of Severity (UCEIS). This evaluation takes into account the three most reproducible factors - the vascular pattern, the presence of bleeding, and erosions or ulcerations including cavitating ulceration - in the total score. To ensure optimal patient care and an adaptation of the therapeutic medical care to the endoscopic severity of the disease, endoscopic exploration should be performed recurrently. However, this exploration is an invasive procedure, requires general anaesthesia for colonoscopy, and can lead to potential complications such as perforation. This explains the poor acceptance by patients, resulting in a sub-optimal therapeutic support.
Lower extremity ulcers pose significant clinical, humanistic and economic burdens on society. Millions of Americans are afflicted with painful, open, draining sores on their lower extremities. These sores are referred to as venous leg ulcerations (VLUs).1-5 Under the best of circumstances these ulcers require weeks or months to heal. Not uncommonly wound care specialists see patients who have suffered for years or faced amputation of the limb as their only option to alleviate the pain. Standard of care will result in healing in 50% of venous leg ulcers in 12 weeks. However, roughly half of patients suffering from venous ulcers will require advanced therapy. Human amniotic membrane replaces the damaged extracellular matrix characteristic of chronic ulcers. In addition, it contains cytokines that may accelerate healing. In clinical practice and recent studies, Dehydrated Human Amniotic Membrane has appeared to be as effective as bioengineered skin products. This RCT is designed to evaluate Amnioband Dehydrated Human Amniotic Membrane in venous leg ulcers.
