Filter by: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.
Diabetic foot can lead to adverse consequences such as amputation and death, which seriously endangering the physical and mental health and quality of life for patients. The aim of this study is to assess factors associated with the occurrence of amputation events in the diabetic foot patients based on a retrospective cohort and to construct a prediction model for patients at high amputated risk.
This is a phase IIa randomized trial designed to evaluate bacteriophage therapy in patients with diabetic foot osteomyelitis.
This is a randomized, open label, controlled, multi-center study to assess safety, tolerability, and efficacy of adjunctive treatment with topically applied pravibismane (MBN-101) in patients with moderate diabetic foot infections. Patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio (MBN-101:standard of care). Topical pravibismane (MBN-101) will be applied three times per week for up to 12 weeks. All patients will receive systemic antibiotic treatment for a least a portion of that period. Randomization will be stratified by site.
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are one of the most common reasons for hospitalization of diabetic patients and frequently results in amputation of lower limbs. Of the one million people who undergo non-traumatic leg amputations annually worldwide, 75% are performed on people who have type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The risk of death at 10 years for a diabetic with DFU is twice as high as the risk for a patient without a DFU. The rate of amputation in patients with DFU is 38.4%4. Infection is a common (>50%) complication of DFU. Emerging evidence underscores the significant risk that biofilm infection poses to the non-healing DFU. Biofilms are estimated to account for 60% of chronic wound infections. In the biofilm form, bacteria are in a dormant metabolic state. Thus, standard clinical techniques like the colony forming unit (CFU) assay to detect infection may not detect biofilm infection. Thus, biofilm infection may be viewed as a silent maleficent threat in wound care.
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.
The aim of this study is to compare quality of life of diabetics with and without foot ulcer. Investigators will compare their quality of life based on the mental health impact of foot ulcer.
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.
This is a post - market study with a wound dressing, a CE-marked medical device available on the european market. The device will be used in routine clinical practice, i.e. within its intended purpose and without any additional invasive or stressing examinations for the patients. Up to 36 adult patients with wounds suitable to be treated with the medical device and meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled at two participating German sites. During 5 on-site visits within 28 days routine weekly dressing changes the Health Care Professional will examine the wound and will perform required wound care and dressing changes. Pictures of the wound with and without dressing will be taken at each visit and used for automatic analysis. The subjects will be asked to rate their general wound pain and the pain perceived during dressing changes. A wound-related quality of life questionnaire will be presented to the subjects twice and the subject and HCP will rate their safisfaction with the product.
This study is evaluating whether a therapeutic ultrasound device can improve blood flow to the leg with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU).
