Filter by:HEAT (Helicobacter Eradication Aspirin Trial) is a large simple double-blind placebo controlled outcomes study of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication to prevent ulcer bleeding in aspirin users. It will be run by the University of Nottingham, with recruiting centres across the UK. This trial is funded by the National Institute of Health Research Health Technology Assessment (NIHR HTA) Programme. Aspirin use is widespread and increasing in elderly patients. The main hazard is gastrointestinal bleeding, which may be increasing because of increasing aspirin use. This trial is based on evidence that peptic ulcer bleeding in aspirin users occurs predominantly in H. pylori positive people. Patients will be identified by their GPs, then asked to attend an appointment with a Research Nurse to consent to the trial and take a H. pylori breath test. Those with a positive result will be randomised to receive a one week course of either eradication treatment or placebo. No follow-up visits are required, but instead information will be extracted from the patients' electronic medical record using the MiQuest search tool. The trial will continue until 87 adjudicated events (hospitalisation because of definite or probable peptic ulcer bleeding) have occurred, which would occur after a mean 2.5 patient years of follow-up, if trial assumptions are correct.
The objective of the proposed study is to determine whether BL-7040 demonstrates clinical efficacy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
The objective of the study is to examine the effectiveness of Ultraviolet-C (UVC) for healing pressure ulcers in people with spinal cord injury. UVC is a form of radiation similar to sunlight but it is normally absorbed in the earth's atmosphere. Participants will be assigned by chance to receive placebo-UVC or real UVC treatment, in addition to receiving wound care according to best practice guidelines. The hypothesis is that UVC-treated wounds will heal at a faster rate than wounds receiving placebo treatment. Given that pressure ulcers impact on an individual's quality of life, and generate high costs to the overall health care system, further work is needed to explore alternative means of pressure ulcer treatment.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary performance of EASH dressing for 4 weeks followed by AQUACEL® dressing for 4 weeks on venous leg ulcers.
The purpose of this study is to determine if cobitolimod (former called Kappaproct®) is effective in the treatment of chronic active ulcerative colitis patients not responding to available therapy.
Stress has been linked to chronic health problems, particularly diseases involving inflammation-mediated tissue injury and organ failure. Accordingly, it is not surprising that mind/body interventions are advocated for treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases. One such candidate disease is ulcerative colitis (UC) because: (1) UC is a life-long, relapsing, disabling inflammatory disorder of the intestine that lacks a non-toxic, efficacious treatment; (2) the therapeutic goal is to improve quality of life by ameliorating disabling symptoms and preventing disease progression by preventing disease flare-up, (3) stress triggers UC flare-up by modifying intestinal function and inflammatory processes, highlighting the potential therapeutic benefit of reducing physiological stress responses. The purpose of this study is to see if either of two 8-week mind/body medicine courses has an effect in reducing stress and affecting the course and severity of UC. Both have been shown to benefit other aspects of health and well-being.
This study is for Type I or Type II diabetic subjects with with a diabetic foot ulcer. The study is being done to determine if Nexagon® plus standard of care is more effective than placebo plus standard of care. Standard of care will include debridement of the ulcer, standardized dressings and standardized off-loading using a Removable Cast Walker.
The study is designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of tralokinumab as compared to placebo. Investigational product will be administered as subcutaneous injection. All patients will continue background therapy for ulcerative colitis as per local standards of care in addition to investigational product.
The objectives of the study are to observe and document the efficacy and safety of 5 or more Adacolumn treatments, administered once weekly over 5 or more weeks, in a specific subset of ulcerative colitis patients. The patient subset of interest is those with moderate/severe, steroid-dependent, active ulcerative colitis with insufficient response or intolerance to immunosuppressants and/or biological agents.
CACIPLIQ20 is a nanopolymer engineered to mimic glycosaminoglycans such as heparan sulfates. Glycosaminoglycans are implied 1) in the stabilization of the micro-environment of cells, known as extracellular matrix, by binding to structural proteins, and 2) in the cell communication by protecting growth factors. At the site of a lesion, glycosaminoglycans are degraded, thereby the extracellular matrix is disorganized and the tissue is destroyed. By replacing damaged glycosaminoglycans, CACIPLIQ20 provides a protective function and restores the matrix architecture and the cell communication, a process known as Matrix Therapy. As for now, three non-controlled pilot studies have been carried out on small populations. They have shown a substantial enhancement of chronic wounds state after treatment with CACIPLIQ20. Therefore, the purpose of this new controlled study is to determine whether CACIPLIQ20 can shorten diabetic neuropathic plantar ulcers healing when the off-loading is mandatory. The study's main hypothesis is that CACIPLIQ20 application on a non-healing diabetic plantar ulcer in an off-loading mandatory context would reinitiate the natural process of tissue regeneration and lead to total wound closure faster than following standard wound care.
