Filter by:Chronic foot ulcers occurring among diabetic patients are difficult to heal. The frequent elderly age with co-morbidities, vascular insufficiencies, peripheral neuropathies and super imposed infections, all contribute towards the chronicity and failure of treatment. Preserving the ulcerated limb is the patients' wish. On the other hand, an infected ulcer that never heals just unnecessarily prolongs suffering. Nevertheless, patients earnestly like to try all methods of healing before accepting amputation. Objective:To determine whether a course of herbal preparation used as an adjuvant therapy for diabetic patients suffering from chronic foot ulcers may promote healing so that major leg amputation can be avoided.
Patients will be randomized to receive TheraGauze alone or with Regranex to treat diabetic foot ulcer condition. The purpose of the study is provide the sponsor with pilot information regarding the ability of TheraGauze to promote wound healing on its own and to examine synergy with Regranex in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of Dermal-LSR plus Standard of Care (SOC) for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU)in comparison to the treatment to SOC alone.
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy and side effects, if any, of Dermal - LSR combined with standard treatment. We hypothesize the treatment will provide beneficial results for diabetic patients suffering foot ulcers.
The purpose of this clinical study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of shockwave treatment combined with standard-of-care treatment, to standard-of-care treatment alone to induce healing of a chronic plantar foot ulcer in subjects with diabetes mellitus. For the purpose of this study, the definition of plantar foot ulcer is a wound or open sore that involves the plantar(bottom) aspect of the foot, and the definition of chronic is a duration of 6 weeks or greater with a lack of response to treatment.
This is a Phase II, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three different doses of topically applied telbermin in subjects ≥ 18 years old with diabetic foot ulcers. Approximately 160 adult subjects with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus will be enrolled at approximately 40 investigational sites in the United States and Canada.
Foot ulcers represent a significant common complication in patients with diabetes. Wound healing is a challenge. Some wounds do not respond to the best practices in wound care. Considerable effort has been directed at therapies to improve the rate of healing. There are a variety of growth factors which have been used to stimulate wound healing. Human platelets are an autologous source of growth factors which probably can stimulate healing. Autologous platelet gel (APG) is prepared by centrifugation of autologous human whole blood. APG is rich in platelet growth factors. This study will investigate the potential improvement in wound healing with this material in diabetic foot ulcers. This study will compare the use of autologous platelet gel ( study group) and standard care ( control group) in the treatment of diabetic plantar forefoot ulcers. This study will also compare the cost and quality of life in the two groups. Objectives of the study: - To determine if topical APG (autologous platelet gel) is beneficial in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. - To determine if it will result in a faster rate of wound healing. - To determine if it will improve the quality of life in patients with diabetic foot ulcers.
The objective of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of a device (the KC-002 interactive wound dressing) in the promotion of healing in diabetic foot ulcers as compared with a conventional wound therapy regimen for subjects with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus. This is a prospective, randomized, multi-center, unmasked, controlled study. All patients will receive care for the diabetic foot ulcer during the study. Participation in the study is for 24 weeks.
This is a clinical research study of an experimental topical drug for the treatment of chronic, neuropathic, diabetic foot ulcers. The purpose of the study is to determine the safety of the experimental drug when applied to large, diabetic foot ulcers. The study will also determine if the experimental drug can safely promote healing of diabetic foot ulcers better than standard treatments currently available to doctors. Patients participating in the study may receive an active drug (MRE0094) or inactive drug (placebo). What treatment a patient will receive is determined by chance (like drawing a number from a hat). All patients will receive additional care for diabetic foot ulcers during the study. Participation in the study can be up to 4½ months.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of low dose nicotine gel in patients with chronic diabetic ulcers
