Filter by:The purpose of this clinical evaluation is to collect patient outcome data on a commercially available 510K FDA-approved product that is derived from minimal processing of Atlantic cod fish skin: KerecisTM Omega3 Wound. In this trial, two groups of UT grade IA/1C diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), full skin thickness or extending through the subcutaneous or fat layers but not into tendon, muscle, or bone will receive standard of care (SOC) treatment for their condition. Patients will be randomized to SOC treatment and a 510k FDA-approved collagen alginate dressing (Fibracol Plus) or SOC and KerecisTM Omega3 Wound. The primary endpoint is the percentage of index ulcers (the ulcers being treated in the study) healed at 12 weeks in which two groups that will be compared are SOC with Fibracol Plus or SOC with KerecisTM Omega3 Wound
Diabetic foot ulcer is the commonest cause of severe limb ischemia in diabetes mellitus And development of anemia is an additional burden to the microvascular complications of diabetes
This study is a prospective, interventional, non-randomized study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of the Noxsano Bandage (study device) in healthy subjects and wound care subjects with a diabetic lower extremity ulceration and/or arterial insufficiency lower extremity ulceration.
Previous researches hipothesize that imposed limb-length discrepancies may discourage adherence in patients with active diabetic foot ulcer and using offloading devices. Our hipothesis is that the use of an external shoe lift contralaterally to the affected foot may improve adherence to offloading devices and improve healing.
Study Objective: The objective of this Phase 1 open-label study is to establish the safety and tolerability of Corlicyte mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the treatment of patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).
Context and hypothesis: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus keeps going to increase, due to the ageing of the population and the high prevalence of overweight and obesity. Thus about 5% of the French population is said to have diabetes according to the national health insurance reimbursement data estimations. 15 to 20% of diabetic patients will have a foot chronic ulcer in their lifetime. Nowadays, diabetes is still the leading cause of non-traumatic amputation in France, amputation being very often preceded by a trophic disorder. Thus, the person with diabetes has a 7-fold risk of amputation. For the year 2013, in France, incidence rates of hospitalizations for lower limb amputations and foot wounds in the diabetic population were 252/100000 and 668/100000 respectively. In an attempt to prevent the risk of foot wounds in people with diabetes, the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) has established foot grades associated with an increased risk of foot wounds. These grades are now used by health authorities to calibrate their care offer such as reimbursements for podiatry care. Chronic kidney disease is one of the major complications of diabetes. In 2013, according to data from the French registry (REIN), 4,856 diabetics started renal replacement therapy in 2016, representing 46% of the newly dialyzed population. This represents a relative risk 9.2 times higher than in the general population. The Investigators hypothesize that beyond the risk of wound, there is a link between the stage of chronic renal disease and the risk of foot ulcer grade as defined by the IWGDF. The link between chronic renal disease and this common marker of foot risk has never been studied to our knowledge. The long-term objective, beyond this study, is to improve patient pathways and thus improve the prevention of foot wounds in diabetics with renal insufficiency. This is all the more true since prevention actions in the dialysis population have already shown their effectiveness on a large scale on the risk of amputation. Protocol : All patients with a diabetes mellitus who consult diabetology and nephrology services at the Montpellier University Hospital will be included in this study. The consultation wil be the same as usual. The Investigators will ask for the history of diabetes, the history of complications, the current treatments and the Investigators will make a standardized clinical examination of feet with a foot risk gradation according to the IWGDF.The investigators will report the standard biologicals values.
Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common complication of diabetes with global prevalence of 6.3%. Treatment of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is challenging with disappointing outcome. Wound debridement, infection control, pressure relief and revascularization are main pillars of DFU management. Various substances and modalities are being investigated for their potential effects in treating DFU, one of which is LL-37. In this randomized, controlled trial, 40 patients with uncomplicated DFU will be enrolled. Patients are randomly assigned to undergo twice a week treatment with 0.5 mg/mL LL-37 cream (treatment group) or placebo cream (control group) for 4 weeks in addition to standard wound care. The primary outcomes are the healing rate measured by wound area and granulation index and changes in patterns of aerobic bacteria colonization during the 4-week study duration and changes in concentrations of IL-α and TNF-α from fluid collected from DFU on the end of the second and third week of study compared to baseline.
Role of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in the Management of Diabetic Foot Ulcers • The aim of this study will be to assess negative pressure wound therapy in treating diabetic foot ulcers.
New treatments for persistent DFU have emerged, among which are the bioengineered skin substitutes, extracellular matrix proteins products, matrix metalloproteinases modulators, and growth factor therapy. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) gel has been used for stimulating wound healing since the last decade of the 20th century. This randomized trial was conducted to assess the role of PRP in gel form as a treatment for clean non-healing diabetic foot ulcer in comparison to regular dressing with saline as a control.
Total contact casts (TCCs) are effective treatment of plantar diabetic foot ulcers because they effectively offload the ulcer and are non-removable, resulting in high adherence to using the device. However, TCCs are not widely used in clinical practice because they negatively impact gait and daily activities. A new treatment concept was invented, sealed therapeutic shoe, where a shoe with a custom-made insole offloads the ulcer, and the shoe is rendered irremovable to be worn day and night, like a TCC. In this multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT), 150 participants will be recruited and randomized to two treatment arms: TCC or sealed therapeutic shoe. The primary outcome is ulcer healing, secondary outcomes include (but are not limited to) skin complications, glycemic control, body mass index, gait function, balance, quality of life, physical activity, and health economics.
