65 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The study is a randomized double-blind controlled clinical trial designed to compare healing rates between normal saline wash in combination with an amorphous gel (NSS-HG) versus the grouping of a synergistic antimicrobial cleanser (AMC) and antimicrobial gel (AMG) in chronic lower extremity ulcers. After consenting, the ulcers of eligible subjects are measured, photographed and undergo the MolecuLight imaging procedure (MiX). The subject is then randomized to one of two arms: target ulcer cleansed saline wash and an amorphous gel (NSS-HG) or synergistic antimicrobial cleanser (AMC) and antimicrobial gel (AMG). After cleansing the wound a second MiX is performed. The subject is given a four-week supply.
Approximately 60 subjects will be enrolled into this double-blind, placebo-controlled study for the Deferoxamine Intradermal Delivery Patch (DIDP). Those subjects who pass Screening will enter into the 2-week Standard of Care (SOC) Run-In period. During this time, ulcers will be assessed to check healing based on digital planimetry, and qualitative features of the ulcer. Subjects who meet eligibility criteria at the end of the 2-week Run-in Period will be randomized into active and control groups (2 active to 1 placebo) and enter the 12-week Treatment Period. At each visit during the Treatment Period, the target ulcer will be measured by digital photographic planimetry, the Principal Investigator will assess the wound qualitative attributes, and the DIDP (or placebo patch) will be placed as the primary wound dressing. At each visit the subject will also receive/review a daily diary to document pain , study drug compliance, and analgesic use.
This is a randomized controlled double blinded study involving two (2) investigational sites in the United States. All subjects (n=40) will receive either Prontosan Wound Irrigation Solution and Gel treatment or standard of care treatment (0.9% saline) and placebo gel. This is a 12-week study.
Background: - Chronic leg ulcers are a complication of many blood disorders such as sickle cell disease, thalassemia, and other red blood cell disorders. In these disorders, red blood cells break down earlier than normal, which researchers suspect may cause or contribute to the development of leg ulcers; however, the exact cause is unknown, and current therapies are not very effective. Researchers are interested in determining if a research cream made with sodium nitrite, a substance that is known to increase blood flow by dilating blood vessels, may speed up the healing of skin ulcers. Objectives: - To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of topical sodium nitrite cream as a treatment for chronic leg ulcers in individuals with sickle cell disease or other red blood cell disorders. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have sickle cell disease or another red cell disorder and have had a leg ulcer for more than 4 weeks. Design: * Participants will be screened with a physical examination, medical history, blood tests, and an examination of the ulcer, including x-ray of the leg(s) with the ulcer and swabs from the wound. * Participants will be scheduled for a 5-day inpatient stay at the Clinical Center, with the following procedures: * Days 1 and 2: Participants will have blood draws, a wound assessment, ultrasound of the affected leg, imaging studies (magnetic resonance imaging and infrared photography), thermo-patch application to monitor temperature changes, measurements of blood flow in the skin, and questionnaires about pain and quality of life. An optional skin biopsy may also be conducted with samples taken near the skin ulcer * Day 3: Participants will have one ulcer treated with the topical cream. Frequent blood draws will be conducted before application and then regularly for up to 6 hours after application of the cream. Thirty minutes after the research cream is applied, participants will have imaging studies of the treated leg and measurements of pain levels and blood flow. * Day 4: Participants will have a blood draw and temperature recordings taken. * Day 5: Participants will have the research cream applied and the same imaging studies as before, and will be discharged for care at home. * For the following 3 weeks, participants will come to the clinical center twice a week to have the research cream applied to the leg ulcer and tests performed by the study researchers. * For the fourth and final week, participants will return for additional cream treatment sessions, imaging studies, blood draws, and other tests as directed by the study researchers. * Study participation will end in the following week (week 5). Subjects will come for a final visit one month after the end of the study.

Hypothesis: Elevated miR210 in the epidermis (outer layer of skin) of ischemic human wound edge tissue (tissue that has a lack of blood flow to it) is associated with poor healing outcome in a setting of standard clinical care. Aim of the study: To determine whether elevated miR-210 in the epidermis of ischemic human wound edge tissue is associated with poor healing outcome in a setting of standard clinical care. This study will last 14 weeks. Adult patients, who are non-diabetic or tightly controlled diabetic, and, who have chronic venous leg ulcers that have been open/not healed for at least 12 weeks, will be enrolled in this study. Patients will be recruited from the Indiana University Health Comprehensive Wound Center (CWC). On days 0, 14 and 28, patients will have the following performed: measurements and photographs taken of their wound; TCOM (transcutaneous oxygen measurement) or ABI to measure the amount of oxygen in the wound tissue, if receiving a tissue biopsy; and two 3-mm punch biopsies from the same wound/ulcer. Biopsies will not be taken if the wound has closed by day 14 or day 28. Additionally, patients' medical records will be reviewed throughout the study for 98 days (14 weeks) after enrollment to determine the final status of the wound as healed or not-healed. ABI will be completed per study personnel at initial visit for all consented subjects to ensure subject eligibility (as listed TCOM\<30 mmHg in exclusion criteria). If ABI's are unable to be obtained, TCOM will be performed. There will be a total of 5 visits for this study (6 total visits for patients with open wounds on day 28 of the study). Visits will occur on days 0, 7, 14, 21,28.

This study is a prospective, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Miro3D Wound Matrix plus Standard of Care (SOC) compared to SOC alone in treating Wagner Grade 1 diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and wound dehiscence in an outpatient setting. The trial is sponsored by Reprise Biomedical, Inc. and aims to explore whether the addition of Miro3D-a three-dimensional, acellular porcine-derived wound matrix-enhances wound healing outcomes compared to SOC alone. Purpose of the Study: The primary purpose of the study is to determine whether applying Miro3D in combination with SOC leads to improved healing of diabetic foot ulcers compared to SOC alone. Specifically, the study seeks to assess early wound healing progress at four weeks (as measured by percent area reduction and granulation tissue formation) as a predictor of complete healing by twelve weeks. Key Question the Study Seeks to Answer: Does the addition of Miro3D to standard wound care improve the healing rate and overall wound outcomes for patients with Wagner Grade 1 diabetic foot ulcers or dehisced wounds compared to standard care alone? Study Design Overview: Subjects who meet inclusion/exclusion criteria will be randomized into one of two groups: 1. Miro3D + SOC arm - receiving Miro3D weekly for 4 weeks, then biweekly if needed, for up to 12 weeks. 2. SOC alone (control) arm - receiving SOC without Miro3D. If the wound remains unhealed at 12 weeks in the SOC alone arm, participants may "crossover" to receive Miro3D treatment under the same schedule for an additional 12 weeks. Primary Endpoint: 1. Percent Area Reduction (PAR) and granulation tissue formation at 4 weeks, serving as predictors for wound healing at 12 weeks. Secondary Endpoints: 1. Quality of Life (QOL) improvements, including pain, mobility, and emotional well-being, assessed using a validated Wound/Ulcer-QOL tool. 2. Pain levels using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at each visit. Population: Approximately 30 adult subjects (15 per arm) with Wagner Grade 1 diabetic foot ulcers or dehisced wounds will be enrolled. Subjects must have adequate blood flow, demonstrate wound size criteria, and commit to offloading and follow-up care. Follow-Up: Subjects will be followed weekly through the 12-week study period. Healed subjects will undergo confirmation visits at 2 and 4 weeks post-closure. Subjects in the crossover arm will be followed for an additional 12 weeks if their wound was unhealed at the primary endpoint. Statistical Considerations: Data will be summarized using descriptive statistics, including wound measurements, infection status, and healing rates. Comparative analysis will be conducted between treatment groups and schedules (weekly vs. biweekly Miro3D application). Adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and device-related events will also be documented. This study aims to generate clinical evidence supporting the use of Miro3D as a beneficial adjunct to standard wound care in promoting early and complete healing of diabetic foot ulcers.
The goal of this observational study is to learn if the measures of tissue oxygenation from the MIMOSA Pro imaging device correlate to standard vascular assessment tools in patients who receiving a lower extremity vascular assessment. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do the MIMOSA Pro tissue oxygenation measures correlate to Ankle-Brachial Index, Toe-Brachial Index, transcutaneous oximetry, and Doppler wave forms? * Do the MIMOSA Pro tissue oxygenation measures correlate with disease classifications for peripheral arterial disease, venous disease, and wound stage? * Is the MIMOSA Pro able to measure vascular status more often than other modalities? Participants will be asked to follow standard of care, and also allow for their legs to imaged by the MIMOSA Pro.
