Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to assess the sensitivity and specificity of a MMP-1/TIMP-1 ratio equal to 0.24 at study entry to predict wound healing at 12 weeks' follow up visit.
A prospective, double blind, randomized, placebo controlled, outpatient, parallel group comparison trial to assess the safety and efficacy of HO/03/03 10µg versus Placebo, applied topically once daily for up to 14 weeks in at least 196 subjects diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus and having a single target non-healing Plantar Neuropathic Diabetic Foot Ulcer.
Although major improvements in the management and treatment of diabetic foot ulcers have been made, the clinical and financial burden of such long-term wounds is still high and is likely to increase as the general population ages. The large population affected by diabetic foot ulcers and the high rates of failure ending with amputation even with the best therapeutic regimens have resulted in the development of new therapies. I-020201 is a bioactive therapy intended for topical treatment of hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers, stimulating the granulation tissue formation. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of I-020201 in adjunct to good standard of care in patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of monochromatic phototherapy (Biolight®) on foot ulcers in diabetic patients, in comparison of placebo phototherapy as a complementary to standard diabetic foot ulcer therapy. The study initiated with a four week long Run In Period to eliminate spontaneous healing ulcer to be included. Treatment with monochromatic phototherapy (Biolight® or placebo) will be given locally, additional to standard care, three times weekly during the first four weeks and twice weekly the following sixteen weeks or until the ulcer is completely healed, according to a pre-determined treatment plan. The area of the ulcer will be measured once weekly for 20 weeks or until the ulcer is completely healed.
The study is aimed at evaluating the clinician's perceived ease of using the V.A.C. GranuForm bride dressing and the patients perceived level of comfort during the dressing wear.
The purpose of this grant is to collect pilot data to assess the amount of botulinum toxin that needs to be injected into the calf muscles of subjects with diabetes mellitus, peripheral neuropathy, and a plantar ulcer to decrease muscle strength. We hypothesize that a decrease in plantar flexor muscle strength will temporarily decrease plantar pressure. The decrease in plantar pressure will provide temporary protection to the new tissue as it gains tolerance to high stress with the long term potential outcome as a decrease in the ulcer recurrence rate.
The purpose of this study is to determine if dressing change with a kind of herb Yuyang ointment is clinically more efficacious and safer than Conventional treatment in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.
Diabetic foot ulcers are sores on the feet that occur in 15% of diabetic patients some time during their lifetime. Once an ulcer develops, the risk of lower-extremity amputation is increased 8-fold in people with diabetes. New treatments that improve the number of ulcers that heal and/or speed up healing are urgently needed. Initial studies with a new drug called Nexagon® (developed by CoDa Therapeutics, Inc.) support the concept that healing of diabetic foot ulcers can be improved with topical application of Nexagon®. Further research will be undertaken to assess the safety and activity of Nexagon® when applied to diabetic foot ulcers at various doses. A proposed randomized controlled trial will randomly allocate (e.g., by the toss of a coin) 24 people with diabetic foot ulcers to Nexagon® (one of three different doses) or vehicle (substance containing no medication) to be applied to their ulcer three times over four weeks. Participants will be followed over four weeks to monitor their response to the treatment, specifically with regards to the amount of healing that occurs.
The purpose of this study is to assess if the experimental drug, DSC127, is safe, how well it can be tolerated, and how different doses effect the healing of the chronic foot ulcers in diabetic subjects.
