Diabetic foot ulcers are sores on the feet that occur in 15% of diabetic patients some time during their lifetime. Once an ulcer develops, the risk of lower-extremity amputation is increased 8-fold in people with diabetes. New treatments that improve the number of ulcers that heal and/or speed up healing are urgently needed. Initial studies with a new drug called Nexagon® (developed by CoDa Therapeutics, Inc.) support the concept that healing of diabetic foot ulcers can be improved with topical application of Nexagon®. Further research will be undertaken to assess the safety and activity of Nexagon® when applied to diabetic foot ulcers at various doses. A proposed randomized controlled trial will randomly allocate (e.g., by the toss of a coin) 24 people with diabetic foot ulcers to Nexagon® (one of three different doses) or vehicle (substance containing no medication) to be applied to their ulcer three times over four weeks. Participants will be followed over four weeks to monitor their response to the treatment, specifically with regards to the amount of healing that occurs.
Study to see if a laser can get rid of bacateria called MRSA in your diabetic ulcer
The primary objective of this 6 month open-label extension trial is to evaluate long-term safety and tolerability of dalteparin in treatment of chronic neuroischaemic foot ulcers in diabetic patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) and peripheral neuropathy.
This study is a double-blind, one center, two-arm study with a two (2) week Run-In, evaluating the efficacy of a once-daily administration of NanoDOX™ Hydrogel topically applied to diabetic ulcers in concert with professionally administered Standard of Care (SOC) procedures as described by Standard Operating Procedure(s) of the Department of Veterans Administration Hospitals. During the run-in period patients with infected wounds will receive oral antibiotic and not be included in the topical portion of the study until the infection is shown by wound fluid analysis to be resolved. Following a two (2) week Run-In of all patients to receive SOC treatment for diabetic ulcers, patients would have either the investigational material or the placebo hydrogel applied as a part of their wound care. Each patient would receive 1.5 gm packets of either the test article or the placebo hydrogel for a once-daily home treatment accompanied by a dressing change.
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of high voltage pulsed current and low level laser therapy on the healing process of diabetic foot ulcers.
The purpose of the study isto see the effect of Fragmin on the healing of diabetic foot ulcers by determining the number of subjects with ≥50% reduction in ulcer surface area including intact skin healing.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the gentamicin-collagen sponge when combined with standard daily wound care and an oral antibiotic (levofloxacin) is safe and effective in treating moderately infected skin ulcers compared to treatment only with standard daily wound care and an oral antibiotic (levofloxacin).
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of the topical gentamicin collagen sponge (gentamicin sponge) combined with standard of care (daily wound care, off-loading, diabetic control and debridement by a physician or podiatrist), compared with placebo sponge combined with standard of care, in preventing infection of diabetic lower extremity skin ulcers.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the gentamicin-collagen sponge when combined with standard of daily wound care is safe and effective in treating mildly infected skin ulcers compared to treatment with an oral antibiotic (levofloxacin) and standard daily wound care.
