Filter by:This study investigates whether, compared to standard treatment, immediate restoration of blood flow (revascularization) can reduce complications and improve diabetic foot ulcer healing.
The objective of this quality improvement project is to increase the one year anastomotic integrity rate in patients having had completion proctectomy and pouch reconstruction for Ulcerative Colitis by the routine and quality controlled implementation of a multi-interventional program thereby improving long-term pouch function and survival.
In participants with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), this study will assess complete wound closure by comparing synthetic hybrid-scale fiber matrix (Restrata®) with standard of care. In participants with venous leg ulcers (VLUs), this study will assess complete wound closure by comparing synthetic hybrid-scale fiber matrix (Restrata®) with living cellular skin substitute (Apligraf®)
The investigators intend to screen for new donors, given that there may a donor effect (PubMed ID: 25857665), with some donors not inducing remission in any patient whilst others inducing remission in 20-40% of cases. It is important to give UC patients participating in RCTs stool that has been demonstrated to be effective in some patients. We therefore propose to conduct an open label study in patients with active UC to ensure new donors are effective at inducing remission in some patients. Patients that have FMT will relapse within 18 months (PubMed ID: 25857665) although further FMT therapy induces remission so it is possible that maintenance FMT will result in long term remission, but this needs evaluation. We will therefore follow UC patients that have responded to FMT long term in this open label study.
The TRIUMPH study was designed to build on the existing literature by studying the efficacy of tofacitinib in hospitalized patients with acute severe ulcerative colitis. This trial will provide evidence for a possible new indication for the use of tofacitinib.
PURPOSE: The main purpose is to explore clinical efficacy and safety associated with capsule FMT (cFMT) performed in newly diagnosed, untreated patients with rheumatic and gastrointestinal chronic inflammatory diseases (CIDs). DESIGN AND METHODS: In this 1:1 double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised, 12-month exploratory trial, 200 patients with at least one of 6 different diagnoses of CIDs fulfilling the study criteria will be enrolled at time of diagnosis. The patient groups are: rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), pulmonary sarcoidosis (PSar), Crohn's disease (CD), and ulcerative colitis (UC). The primary endpoint is change from baseline to eight weeks in the physical component summary (PCS) of the short form health survey (SF-36). Key secondary clinical endpoints will be evaluated at 8 weeks. Other secondary clinical endpoints will be evaluated at 52 weeks and reported in secondary papers. The baseline visit will be performed as quickly as possible after the patient's informed consent has been obtained to ensure no unnecessary treatment delay. Stratified by CID diagnosis, patients will be randomised (1:1) to either placebo or single-donor cFMT processed from stool provided to the hospital from anonymous-to-the-patient healthy donors. The experimental intervention FMT/placebo will be repeated once weekly the first month (i.e., each patient will receive a total of four treatments). In addition, all participants will concomitantly be offered the national guideline first-line anti-inflammatory treatment following the baseline visit. At baseline, 8 weeks, 26 weeks, and 52 weeks a thorough clinical examination will be conducted and all relevant clinical scores for each disease entity will be registered. Patient-reported-outcomes including SF-36 and disease specific questionnaires will be collected at week 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 (primary endpoint evaluation), 26 and 52. Adverse events will be monitored through out the trial.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of MK-6194 in participants with active UC.
Prospective, single-blinded, single-center, parallel group, randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess rate and frequency of wound healing and associated financial savings, when using Medaxis debritom+ versus standard of care as a choice of debridement method, where both arms follow normal wound care practice in use of advanced wound care treatments.
The purpose of the following prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial is to compare synthetic hybrid-scale fiber matrix (Restrata®, Acera Surgical, Inc.) with standard of care in treating diabetic foot ulcers in human subjects.
This is a small pilot study of the fermented soybean extract MicrSoy-20(MS-20) to confirm its ability to improve UC severity with the treatment of standard therapies. The primary endpoint, structural alteration of gut microbiota during the trial will be analyzed. Secondary endpoints aim to observe the changes of partial Mayo score, patient response of medication of UC treatments, biomarker changes in blood, and safety after taking MS-20.
