Filter by:Determine if use of the Medela Invia Motion NPWT system supports acceptable progress towards the goal of therapy when treating patients with a variety of wound types during the evaluation period.
A prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial (RCT) using a cross-over (repeated measures) design to evaluate safety and efficacy of three foam wound dressings in the local management of chronic wounds.
Primary Objective: To assess the safety profile of TWB-103 administered to subjects with diabetic lower limb ulcers Secondary Objective: To explore the efficacy of TWB-103 administered to subjects with diabetic lower limb ulcers
The investigators want to evaluate the short duration HBOT can improve glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, leukocyte count, and serum creatinine levels in patients with DFU (diabetic foot ulcer) Wagner 3-4.
Diabetic foot syndrome is one of the most frequent complications in type 2 diabetic patients. The present work is carried out with the objective of evaluating the use of DIamel combined with insulin in diabetic foot ulcers. Method. Phase II clinical trial. A study group was created that receives the active product and another control group that receives a placebo. Double-blind study with a monthly follow-up for the first 6 months and then quarterly until the end of 1 year. Complementary tests are performed every 6 months to evaluate metabolic, lipid and renal function control.
This is a multicenter, randomized, parallel-group study comparing the outcomes associated with the use of AMNIOEXCEL Plus Placental Allograft Membrane, a marketed comparator and SOC alone in the management of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).
Foot complications are among the most serious and costly complications of diabetes. People with diabetes have a 10-fold increased risk for a leg or foot amputation compared to those that do not have diabetes. Amputation of all or part of foot is usually preceded by a foot ulcer, which became infected. This is a clinical trial to test the effectiveness of a topical antiseptic, chlorhexidine, for daily foot cleaning on the occurrence of diabetic foot ulcers in Veterans at high risk of a diabetic foot ulcer.
The Omnigen Pilot study aims to provide an evidence base for Omnigen as a treatment for Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU). It aims to achieve this by tailoring a regenerative therapy used for ocular surface repair to provide proactive non-surgical wound management of Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU).
Diabetes-related foot ulcers (DFUs) are a leading cause of hospitalization and amputation worldwide, and account for 33% of all direct costs of diabetes care in the US. Ulcers requiring acute care can result in treatment costs of up to US$70,000 per event, varying with the severity of the wound. Once the skin is ulcerated, it is susceptible to becoming infected and ultimately amputation in particular in case of deep DFUs. To manage the cost and avoid hospitalization and amputation, wound should be immediately closed. But this is often challenging in diabetic foot with deep ulcers.Wound healing is a dynamic process involving interactions between cells, extracellular matrix (ECM) and growth factors that reconstitutes tissue following injury. ECM plays an important role in tissue regeneration and is the major component of the dermal skin layer. Recognition of the importance of the ECM in wound healing has led to the development of wound products that aim to stimulate or replace the ECM in particular in case of deep tissue destruction because of deep DFUs. It is known from the literature that chronic or hard-to-heal wounds are characterized by a disrupted or damaged ECM that cannot support wound healing. Thus treatment strategies based on use of biologic scaffold materials for management of chronic and deep wounds has increased dramatically during the past two decades. These scaffolds include those comprising an intact extracellular matrix (ECM) or individual components of the ECM, and those comprising hybrids incorporating a synthetic component with a biologic component. DermACELL (LifeNet Health,Virginia Beach, VA) is acellular dermal matrices (ADM), which has been shown to be effective in treating chronic DFUs in a clinical trial. Another ADM product available in the market is made by Integra® (Bilayer Matrix Wound Dressing, Integra LifeSciences). However, advantages/disadvantages of one compared to the other are unclear. In addition, prior studies often focused on wound healing outcomes (e.g. time to heal, success of wound healing) without considering patient-centered and physician-centered outcomes such as time and difficulty to apply, likelihood of adverse events and need for reapplication, poor tissue mechanics outcomes (e.g. presence of scarring or tissue biomechanics properties leading to increase in shear or pressure post healing thus increasing likelihood of recurrence of the ulcer), and other patient centered outcomes like smell, pain, and comfort. The primary objective of this prospective, randomized trial is to compare the outcomes of DermaCELL with Integra. The investigators assumed that the wounds outcomes (e.g. weekly wound size change, time to heal, time to successful wound granulation) are comparable between DermaCELL and Integra. However, from operation and patient centered outcomes, there may be some noticeable differences. For instance, DermaCELL, thanks to its mesh structure, thin thickness, and no need for hydration, may be easier to apply with shorter time than Integra. The factors are of key importance in operation room (OR) setting and could reduce overall cost of application and needs in using OR resources. Other important outcomes least addressed in prior studies are number of grafts failing, adverse events (e.g. amputation, infection, etc), cost of wound healing treatment, tissue biomechanics, which may lead to recurrence of ulcers (e.g. formation of tissue scarring), and other patient-centered outcomes (e.g. pain, quality of sleeping, wound smelling, etc). For instance, many patients are unhappy with smelling of wounds, which make them embarrassed among their family members like grand kids. Thus reducing wound smelling during activities of daily living is often considered as an important patient centered outcomes.
This study is a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled trial designed to collect patient outcome data on 2 commercially available SOC dressings treatments for Diabetic Foot Wounds
