Filter by:The primary goal of the study is to demonstrate the increased rate of complete wound closure by AMNIOEXCEL® compared to routine care in patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcers
Diabetes is a multiorgan disease and considered a major health problem in different societies. One of the complications the pain particularly in the extremities resulting from a process known as diabetic foot ulcer. The diabetic patients are subjected to many complications because of foot ulcers, many of them like as chronic wound disease or pressure ulcers (bed sore). Routinely used medical measures for diabetic foot ulcers are depended to nursing care and take too long until pain relief. Among many tested materials and works for wound healing such as debridement, tissue oxygenation, and skin transplantation, platelet-derived compounds are allocated the pivotal position between investigators to tissue regeneration and shortening the wound healing process. Many of platelet components are procured from platelet rich plasma (PRP) from whole blood donation. Furthermore, it requires to an additional purification step to diminish the volume and facilitate handling in some studies. It means that platelet concentrates (PCs) may be obtained leading to more concentrated platelets in lower volume. Two types of granules in platelet is responsible for storage of many useful and different growth factors: dense or delta and alpha granules. Platelet-derived growth factors have the ability to growth and differentiation of numerous cells. Also, the antibacterial effect of these growth factors has been reported. To better efficacy and comfortable utilization of platelet, it is feasible to form the platelet gel and then apply on wound sites. This study is a double blind randomized controlled trial to evaluate the positive effects of umbilical cord blood-derived platelet gel in 244 patients with diabetic foot ulcers.
The current trial examines the potential benefits of continuous 12 week treatment with Santyl, measured in terms of wound bed appearance. The visual appearance of granulation tissue will be recorded at each visit for the purpose of examining the relationship between wound bed appearance and progress towards healing. In support of this longer treatment regimen with Santyl, a recent animal study found that application of Santyl for 12 weeks was safe and well tolerated. Therefore, the present study is designed to test the hypothesis that daily treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) with Santyl for up to 12 weeks will result in more rapid development of granulation tissue than DFU treated with supportive care.
The primary objective of this post market clinical follow-up (PMCF) investigation is to evaluate performance and safety of fast gelling dressing when used as intended in Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU). The primary endpoint will be Changes from baseline in the condition of the peri-wound skin measured by the following variables; maceration, redness/irritation, rash/eczema, blistering, dermatitis, skin stripping, trauma to wound edges and product degradation on the skin
An open, non-comparative, multi-centre post marketing clinical follow-up, PMCF, investigation to evaluate performance and safety on diabetic foot ulcer, dfu, when using mepilex transfer Ag as intended.
This study was a Kind of clinical trial with equal randomization, that have been done from January 2009 to June 2011 in the AFZALIPOOR hospital endocrine ward in Kerman-Iran on 128 diabetic patient who had foot wounds.Replacement of conventional therapy by new methodes is one of the more important aims for health professional specially for nurses.One of this new treatment is maggot therapy.
The primary objective of the present study is to further establish in a randomized controlled trial, the safety and efficacy of weekly Grafix® administration versus control in patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcers. The primary endpoint is complete wound closure of the index wound, defined as 100% re-epithelialization as determined by the Investigator. Grafix® is a product regulated for use in the US by the FDA as a Human Cellular and Tissue Based Product (HCT/P) under Title 21 CFR Part 1271.
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 LeucoPatch™ study goal is to investigate whether the fully autologous growth factor-containing dressing LeucoPatch™ has a positive effect on healing rates of diabetic foot ulcers. The study seeks to gather data for comparison with previous data from similar wounds (historical controls). By subgrouping of the treated wounds (similar to the historical controls used) an assessment of which of the patient and wound-related factors that might indicate a beneficial effect of LeucoPatch™ is sought.
Subjects enrolled in this study will either use Santyl daily or follow standard care procedures for up to 6 weeks for their diabetic foot wound. After 6 weeks of treatment, the subjects will continue into the follow-up phase for an additional 6 weeks. Study doctors will look at the wound in the office each week (up to 12 weeks) to see if the wound is healing. Depending on a number of factors at each office visit, the study doctors may also use a procedure called sharp debridement to remove dead skin from the wound. This study will test the hypothesis that daily treatment of diabetic foot wounds with Santyl will result in more rapid healing, healthier wounds, and fewer required sharp debridements over the study period than for diabetic foot wounds treated in other ways.
