Filter by:Diabetic and venous ulcers affect many people, and severe cases can end up in amputation and even death because of infection. In 2011, the total cost for care of diabetic foot ulcers alone, to the Canadian health care system, was $547 million. Standard clinical care for these types of wounds has improved but there is still a great need for new wound care treatments to help speed up wound healing and reduce pain. One such treatment is high intensity LED light therapy. There is a long history of light therapy showing faster wound healing, reduced pain and reduced swelling. The research we propose here is to study a new high intensity LED light made by Kerber Applied Research Inc., to see if it reduces pain and speeds up healing lower leg ulcers. This research is a partnership between Kerber Applied Research Inc and the Lethbridge Lower Limb Wound Clinic, an Alberta Health Services program in Lethbridge, Alberta.
This is a two-part phase 1/2A study performed in diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) patients with chronic non-healing wounds to investigate the safety and efficacy of AUP1602-C.
The MARSYAS II study which will be conducted in patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) consists of a Lead-In Phase for safety assessment of multiple doses of the biologic investigational medicinal product (IMP) APO-2 and of a Main Phase (Phase II Study) to assess the efficacy and safety of the IMP. The phase II study will be a randomized study at multiple clinical centers and it will be double-blind meaning that neither the investigator nor the treated patient know if the IMP or a placebo is applied; the study will investigate the safety and clinical efficacy of multiple dose administrations at three dose levels of APO-2 (low dose, medium dose or high dose) compared with placebo.
Aims:Retrospectively observe the effects of Caltrate supplementation on the clinical effect of mesalazine in patients with ulcerative colitis. Design: From January 2015 to December 2020, through retrieving the clinical database of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, patients with active UC who accepted mesalazine treatment were enrolled. According to whether Caltrate was supplemented at the same time, the patients were divided into supplementary group and non-supplementary group. The modified Mayo score and several laboratory indicators were compared between the two groups.
This is a prospective, multi-national, multi-centre, randomized, non-blinded (photo evaluation is blinded), controlled clinical investigation in patients suffering from diabetic wounds reaching to tendon, bone, or joint. Patients will be randomised to received intact fish skin (Kerecis™ Omega3 Wound) plus standard of care or standard of care alone, and wound healing compared over 16 weeks.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation and bleeding from the lining of the rectum and colon (large intestine).Crohn's disease (CD) is a long-lasting condition causing inflammation that can affect any part of the gut. CD may cause tiredness, loose stools with or without bleeding, abdominal pain, weight loss, and fever. This study will evaluate the effect of repeated infusions of risankizumab on the pharmacokinetics of sensitive probe substrates of Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes in participants with moderately to severely active UC or CD. Risankizumab is an investigational drug being developed to treat trial participants with inflammatory diseases such as UC and CD. The study is split into two periods. In Period 1, participants will receive single oral doses of CYP sensitive probes and in Period 2, participants will receive risankizumab followed by single oral doses of CYP sensitive probes. Around 20 adult participants with moderately to severely active CD or UC will be enrolled in the study across multiple sites worldwide. In Period 1, participants will receive oral doses of CYP sensitive probes on Day 1. In Period 2, participants will receive risankizumab by intravenous (IV) infusion on Days 1, 29 and 57 followed by oral CYP sensitive probes on Day 64. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests and checking for side effects.
A prototype support surface has been designed which aims to successfully redistributes the pressures exerted and provides sufficient support to human soft tissue We want to prove the effectiveness of the prototype support surface by enlisting patients in a clinical trial, where we will assess the presence of pressure ulcers, and the ability of the patients to tolerate the support surface, and also measure the pressure over time and compare them to when the patients are using standard mattresses.
This Study aims to identify whether venous leg ulcers which are colonised by Pseudomonas Aeruginosa cause more pain than those which are not and if this bacteria affects healing time. This may determine how venous ulcer infections are treated in order to improve symtomatology and quality of life for patients with these chronic wounds.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is currently an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Global estimates indicate that 382 million people live with diabetes (8.3%), and that number could reach 592 million in 2035. The diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) present as sore wounds with disintegration of the skin. The DFU affect 15% of diabetic patients. Several studies have been conducted aiming to find therapeutic strategies for the healing of DFU, among the reported therapeutic methods the Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has been highlighted. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of different doses of LLLT in the treatment of DFU. Methods: This study is characterized as a double-blind randomized clinical trial (RCT), consisting of four groups, the control group will have only dressing and placebo LLLT application and the other three groups will have dressing and real LLLT GaAs 904 nm application. Expected outcomes: to elucidate the effects of different doses of LLLT GaAs 904 nm on the treatment of DFU, beyond to identify the most effective dose.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Vaporous Hyperoxia Therapy (VHT), previously named Misty (WTS-1000) for the treatment of chronic foot ulcers.
