Filter by:Diabetes-induced peripheral neuropathy can lead to the development of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), which can have a devastating effect on patients' lives and can lead to life threatening infection, amputations, and even death. Conventional treatment of DFUs are time consuming, burdensome, costly, and often do not treat the root cause of the problem. Even with proper care, ulcers can take a significantly longer time to heal in diabetic patients due to the altered physiology which does not allow for the proper nutrients and healing factors to mobilize to the site of injury, leaving these ulcers with a poor chance of healing and at high risk for infection and possible amputation. Supplemental immunonutrition therapy may offer a viable, low cost, rapidly scalable, and widely available approach to enhance the body's ability to heal itself. This prospective, randomized pilot study will evaluate the effect of a 6-week daily oral course of a specific combination of immunonutrients, L-Arginine, Omega-3 fatty acids, and Vitamin C, on wound healing in diabetic patients with chronic lower extremity ulcers compared to traditional standard of care. The deliverables of this clinical project will serve to advance a cost-effective added strategy to address a significant unmet clinical need in treatment for the diabetic patient population. Study outcomes will lay the foundation for a multi-site clinical trial to establish the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of this strategy across the health care system.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Cytori Celution System in Hungarian patients with diabetic leg ulcers.
The study will examine the effectiveness of a decellularized dermal matrix (i.e., DermGEN™) in improving wound healing, quality of life and associated costs of treatment of DFUs in First Nations people living in the Northwestern Ontario Communities. First Nations people with active diabetic foot (DFU) ulcer attending a wound care clinic located at the Rainy River district office. An interventional, two-arm, randomized, prospective study of (1) standard of care (control) vs. (2) DermGEN™ - a decellularized dermal matrix (treatment) will be used in the treatment and management of DFU. Patients will be randomized to each arm (n=60 per arm) based on power calculations using data from our Pilot study.
The objective of this single-arm feasibility study is to investigate the safety and impact of the topical EPC Silver Wound Gel (EPC-123) in the management of diabetic foot ulcer wounds not progressing under the current standard of care.
Preventing foot ulcers in people with diabetes can reduce costs and increase quality of life. Despite availability of various interventions to prevent foot ulcers, recurrence rates remain high. We hypothesise that a multimodal approach incorporating a variety of orthotic interventions that matches an individual person's need can reduce ulcer recurrence with beneficial cost-effectiveness and cost-utility.
Randomized multisite two arms study in which one arm of patients will be treated with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) known also as Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) treatment ("VAC Arm") and the second arm of patients will be treated with MedCu wound dressings with copper oxide (COD) ("Copper Arm"). The study goals are to compare the efficacy, cost and convenience between MedCu Wound Dressings with Copper Oxide (COD) and Negative Pressure Wound Therapy of diabetic foot wounds.
The purpose of this clinical investigation is to assess the safety and performance of Compedica's OptiPulse™ and to collect subject outcome data on the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU's) versus the standard of care (SOC). OptiPulse™ is designed to enhance blood circulation in the venules and arterioles. Fibracol Plus (or equivalent) is a collagen alginate dressing that is used as the primary dressing. Both products are 510(k) FDA cleared and will be used within the cleared intended use.
This randomized clinical trial will examine the effect of inforatio technique on healing of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Inforatio technique is a novel procedure developed by the research group. The definition of inforatio technique is application of small cuts in wound beds with punch biopsy tools without involving surrounding epithelia. The aim is to initiate an acute inflammatory response that will promote healing of the ulcers.
CACIPLIQ20® is currently a class III CE marked medical device available in various European and non-European countries, and currently primarily used in managing hard-to-heal wounds. This study is a prospective and standardized recording of patients' data followed in real-life conditions to appreciate the benefits of a therapeutic strategy including CACIPLIQ20® use. It also aims at collecting data to follow-up the device's efficacy and safety and estimate its cost-effectiveness.
Design: A randomised, controlled, prospective trial. Participants will be patients with non-healing diabetic foot ulcers. The study will aim to recruit 15 participants per study group (30 participants in total). Participants will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups: - Group 1: CYP-006TK - Group 2: Standard care This will be an open label study with respect to treatment allocation. However, the person reviewing images of the study ulcers to assess healing will be blind to the participant's treatment allocation. Participants assigned to Group 1 will be treated with CYP-0006TK dressings on 8 occasions over 4 weeks. The dressings will be changed every 3 or 4 days. After the first 4 weeks, participants in Group 1 will revert to standard care for the rest of the study. Participants assigned to Group 2 will have their ulcer treated with standard care throughout the study. Participants will attend a total of 16 scheduled visits over 24 weeks. There will be a mixture of on-site (hospital/clinic) visits, and home visits. The study will end 24 weeks after the initiation of treatment, unless the study ulcer is completely headed before then.
