Filter by:This is a clinical research study of an experimental topical drug for the treatment of chronic, neuropathic, diabetic foot ulcers. Patients participating in the study may receive an active drug (MRE0094), inactive drug (placebo), or a gel used to treat diabetic foot ulcers currently available for sale in the United States. 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.
Objective: to compare the effectiveness of irremovable total contact casts and custom made temporary footwear to heal neuropathic foot ulcerations in individuals with diabetes
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of soluble beta-1,3/1,6-glucan compared to placebo on the healing of chronic leg ulcers in diabetes patients. Hypothesis: Through its ability to activate tissue macrophages and counteract diabetes-associated defects in macrophages, the soluble beta-1,3/1,6-glucan will promote the healing of leg ulcers in diabetic patients.
This is a randomized (1:1), prospective, open label, multicenter, comparative study to be examine the effectiveness of Collagen-ORC Antimicrobial matrix, a new wound dressing, on diabetic foot ulcers.
Lower limb complications are a substantial matter in the diabetic population and studies show that the annual incidence of foot ulcers ranges from 1.0-4.1% while the cumulative lifetime incidence is approximately 15%. Foot ulcers may become complicated by infection or gangrene, and ultimately result in amputation. In addition, foot ulcers have a significant impact on quality of life (QoL). The treatment of diabetic foot ulcers has not made substantial progress in recent years with regards to improved healing although there have been several actions taken to update the process. The current practice consists of wound debridement, treatment of underlying infections and pressure relief. This trial investigates the adjunctive effects of high (80 mg) or low (10 mg) dose atorvastatin to conventional treatment on the healing of diabetic foot ulcers.
This is a Phase I, double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study that will enroll approximately 50 adult subjects with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic, diabetic foot ulcers. The study will be conducted at approximately 12 investigational sites in the United States.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of REGRANEX® Gel compared with placebo when applied for up to 52 consecutive weeks to recurring or non-healing ulcers of the ankle or foot related to diabetes.
This is a randomized clinical trial to: (1) Determine the extent to which custom made study shoes will reduce the incidence of reulceration in diabetic individuals with prior history of foot ulcers, and (2) Estimate costs of ulcer prevention using these strategies.
This project will identify risk factors for diabetic foot ulcer by studying the relationship between endothelial dysfunction and foot ulcer risk. A fundamental defect in type 1 and 2 diabetic subjects is impaired vasodilatory reserve which is reflected in the dysfunction of endothelium-dependent vasodilation. Findings thus far point to an important role of the microvasculature in the development of diabetic foot ulcer and amputation. In this study a a well-characterized cohort of 750 diabetic veterans without foot ulcer will be followed over 3-years.
People with diabetes often develop severe skin problems (ulcers) on their feet. Sometimes these are treated with surgery and other times by temporarily immobilizing the foot in a cast. This study compares the effect of surgery to lengthen the Achilles tendon and put the foot in a cast, to using a cast alone. The study will also examine how foot strength, joint movement, and overall ability to walk, balance and climb stairs is affected.
