Filter by:This study will assess the ability of MIRODERM to heal difficult diabetic foot ulcers within 12 weeks of treatment.
It is hypothesized that application of the human placental umbilical cord tissue TTAX01 to the surface of a well debrided, complex diabetic foot ulcer will, with concomitant management of infection, result in a higher proportion of wounds showing complete healing within 16 weeks of initiating therapy.
This study is an extension of the randomized controlled trial NT-DFU-AFF-01. Subjects that were randomized to the Standard of Care group will be able to crossover to the NT-DFU-AFF-02 trial and receive Affinity fHSAM if certain criteria are met.
This is an open-label follow up study to evaluate the safety for the subjects with ALLO-ASC-DFU treatment in phase 2 clinical trial (ALLO-ASC-DFU-201) for 23 months.
This is an open-label follow up study to evaluate the safety for the subjects with ALLO-ASC-DFU treatment in phase 1 clinical trial (ALLO-ASC-DFU-101) for 23 months.
Bacterial load is frequently associated with impaired healing of chronic wounds. As well, sharp debridement is often associated with pain, causing patient distress, and thereby occasionally contributing to inadequacy of debridement, leading to a delay in wound healing. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of the Sciton Laser in reducing bacterial load and patient distress in patients with chronic wounds, in efforts to expedite the wound healing process.
Foot ulceration is a common and costly complication of diabetes. GSK1278863 is a topical drug, which is being developed to treat wounds associated with DFU. The aim of this study is to explore the symptoms and impacts of DFU from the subject perspective and to elicit in-depth information about DFU signs and symptoms, impacts on functioning and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Adult DFU subjects with current or recent (within last six months) neuropathic foot ulcers will be eligible to participate in this prospective, cross-sectional interview study. Approximately 20 DFU subjects will be recruited from up to three clinical sites. Potential subjects will be pre-screened and then contacted to gauge interest in the study. Interested subjects will be screened and eligible subjects will consent to release contact information to research staff. Research staff will contact the subject to schedule interviews. This study will include concept elicitation interviews over the telephone or in-person by trained and experienced interviewers. In-person interviews will be conducted in a private room at the clinical site. All interviews will be conducted in English and will be guided by semi-structured interview guides. All subjects will provide written consent prior to the start of the interview.
Diabetic patients with a history of diabetic foot are considered to be a high-risk population for increased cardiovascular and all-cause mortality (1,2,3,). Diabetic foot (DF) is responsible for more hospitalizations than any other complication of diabetes and are the leading cause of non-traumatic lower extremity amputations, resulting in nearly 100 000 amputations annually in the US alone (4,5,6). Surgical debridement, as an important component of standard of care of diabetic foot, is intended to remove healing-impaired tissue, decreases bacterial burden, thus to stimulate overall wound closure, while removing as little of healing-competent skin as possible. Furthermore, debrided tissue is often used as a valuable tissue source for research purposes (7,8,9,10). Debrided tissue presents valuable diagnostic and research source to verify pathology, assess prognosis and gain insights into DF molecular pathology, all of which ultimately leads to improved outcomes. We aimed to validate tissue obtained from surgical debridement of DF for the cellular/molecular tissue analyses and biomarkers, to evaluate the pathophysiology of DF and understanding mechanisms that inhibit healing. The age range will be 50-70 years, in order to minimize the effects of irreversible vascular wall changes induced progressively by the aging process. All patients will undergo screening procedures that will include full anamnesis, physical examination, basic laboratory blood tests (full chemistry, CBC); urine examination and EKG will be performed at start and at the end of the study. Patients with a significant myocardial, and renal, cerebrovascular or hepatic disease will be excluded from the study. In a prospective study, we will collect wound edge tissue specimens from 75 patients with DF during surgical debridement. From each patient, 1-4 specimens will be obtained per debridement. To evaluate debrided tissue, each specimen will be processed for paraffin embedding and stained with haematoxylin and eosin. Histopathology analysis of multiple specimens acquired from the same wound will be analysed.
This study will gather preliminary clinical, health economic, and safety data on the treatment of chronic wounds with the ALLEVYN Life Non-Bordered dressing compared to standard of care treatment when used on a wound.
(DERMALIX) (Patent number: PCT/TR2014/000251) is a bioactive wound dressing that was developed by Ege University School of Pharmacy Department of Pharmaceutical Technology. This dressing has been categorised as Class III medical device. This clinical study will be conducted in patients with diabetic foot ulcers.
