Filter by:Single-centre clinical study investigating the safety and tolerability of randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled ascending single doses of topically applied SoftOx Biofilm Eradicator (SBE) in patients with chronic leg wounds and of open-label once daily, twice daily, and thrice daily dosing of topically applied SBE for five days in patients with chronic leg wounds. The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of topically applied SBE in patients with chronic leg wounds. A secondary objective of the study is to assess changes in bacterial burden in the leg wound after treatment with SBE.
Determine the feasibility of using a new topical oxygen therapy device to treat hard to heal lower leg wounds.
This is a single-arm, observational, multicenter PMCF investigation designed to confirm clinical performance and safety of ChloraSolv when exposed to larger population of clinical users. Approximately 65 subjects will be enrolled (calculated dropout range 20%) from at least 6-12 sites in Sweden. Subjects presented with chronic leg ulcers and chronic diabetic foot ulcers in need of debridement will be enrolled and receive application of ChloraSolv per clinical routine at treating site and in accordance with the ChloraSolv Instruction for Use for up to 24 weeks. Subjects will attend a baseline visit to assess eligibility and collect demographic and baseline data and initiate treatment. There will be two follow up visits in the investigation. The first follow up visit will take place at End of Treatment, as based on investigator judgement and clinical routine at the treating site, maximum 24 weeks post baseline per the IFU. After End of Treatment, subjects will continue in the investigation with wound management per clinical routine at the treating sites for 6 weeks. At 6 weeks post End of Treatment, subjects will attend a Follow-up visit to assess safety, wound status and relative change in wound size. Besides confirmation of the clinical performance and safety when used in a larger population the investigation also includes analysis of treatment period duration. Additionally, health economy parameters will be analyzed. The investigation will be monitored to confirm the already known precautions as well as identify new precautions and possible contraindications for the use of the device. Photography of the wound pre and post debridement will be performed to confirm wound size and amount of devitalized tissue in the wound.
Approximately 200 patients (100 in each treatment group) nationally with chronic venous leg ulcers will be randomized to GrafixPL™PRIME plus standard compression therapy or standard compression therapy alone for up to 12 weeks in order to compare the clinical outcomes between the two groups. Specifically, at this Georgetown site, approximately 30 subjects will be recruited.
The efficacy of locally sourced compression therapy in the management of chronic leg ulcers and Kaposi Sarcoma in western Kenya will be studied in a rural setting
This is a non-randomized, single-blind post market clinical follow-up study for which 65 patients will be imaged at Rouge Valley Centenary Hospital (Scarborough and Rouge Hospital) who present with a chronic wound and are receiving standard wound care treatment. The MolecuLight i:X imaging device will be used by the study clinician as an adjunctive tool in the assessment of the wound and will be used to guide the targeted sampling of a wound (with curettage scraping), as per current standard of care in the principal investigator's wound care clinic. The acquired tissue sample will then be analysed using conventional gold standard semi-quantitative culture methods to determine bacterial species present, also as per current standard of care in this clinic.
Adequate analgesia in serial chronic leg ulcer debridement can be difficult to achieve. A common analgesia method is the topical administration of local anesthetics directly onto the wound. However, complete wound debridement is often hampered by insufficient analgesia leading to interruption of the actual debridement and fragmentation of treatment into more frequent serial debridement sessions. Alternatively, the inhalation of an nitrous oxide/oxygen (N2O/O2) gas premix could be used for analgesia. In this study, the investigators have compared the analgesic method of an eutectic mixture of topically administered lidocaine/prilocaine cream (EMLA®) with the inhalation of an equimolar 50% N2O/50% O2 gas premix (Kalinox®) in serial leg ulcer debridement.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous bone marrow stem cell implantation for the treatment of leg ulcer in adult patients with sickle cell disease.
