Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) Biofilm Infection and Recurrence

This work is based on DFU patients, seeks to conduct a fully powered clinical study testing i) If DFU with a history of biofilm infection closes with deficient barrier function. ii) whether such functionally deficient wound closure, manifested as high TEWL, is associated with greater wound recurrence. The primary parent study will also address molecular mechanisms implicated in biofilm-induced loss of skin epithelial barrier integrity in DFU patients.

Subcutaneous Dexpanthenol Administration and Wound Epithelialization

Chronic wounds are wounds that do not heal properly over time and can significantly reduce quality of life. Common types include diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and arterial ulcers. Improving wound healing and speeding up skin regeneration (epithelialization) are important goals in the care of these patients. Dexpanthenol is a vitamin B5 derivative that supports skin repair and tissue regeneration. It is widely used in topical treatments, and injectable forms are approved for clinical use. However, the effects of subcutaneous (under the skin) dexpanthenol injections on chronic wound healing have not been sufficiently studied in clinical settings. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether adding subcutaneous dexpanthenol injections to standard wound care improves wound healing compared with standard wound care alone. Adult patients with non-infected chronic wounds will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive standard wound care only, while the other group will receive standard wound care plus subcutaneous dexpanthenol injections around the wound area. Wound healing will be assessed by measuring changes in wound size and the degree of skin epithelialization over time using standardized and objective methods. Safety will be monitored by recording local reactions at the injection site and any other adverse events during the study. The results of this study may provide preliminary clinical evidence on the effectiveness and safety of subcutaneous dexpanthenol as an additional treatment option for chronic wound management.

Evaluation of the Efficacy of Hyalomatrix® in the Healing of Chronic Venous Leg Ulcers

This is a randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of HYALOMATRIX in conjunction with standard of care vs. standard of care alone in treating venous leg ulcers.

Study of Miro3D Wound Matrix for Healing Wounds and Ulcers in Outpatient Care

This clinical study is being conducted to evaluate how well the Miro3D Wound Matrix helps heal difficult wounds and ulcerations in an outpatient care setting. Miro3D is a biologic wound dressing made from porcine (pig) liver tissue. It is processed to remove all cells, creating a clean scaffold that can support the body's natural healing process. The goal of this study is to see how effective Miro3D is when used alongside standard wound care for helping wounds close and reducing pain and discomfort. The study is designed as a post-market, proof-of-concept trial, meaning the product is already commercially available, and researchers are evaluating how it works in real-world clinical settings. A total of up to 20 adult participants will be enrolled. Participants may have wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, or surgical wound dehiscence. These wounds may be complex in nature, including tunneling or undermining, which often makes them more difficult to treat. Participants will receive standard wound care along with weekly Miro3D applications for the first 4 weeks. If the wound is not fully healed after 4 weeks, Miro3D will then be applied every 2 weeks until healing is achieved or up to 12 weeks total. Throughout the study, participants will return weekly for wound assessments and to complete brief questionnaires about their pain levels and quality of life. The main goals of the study are: 1. To measure how much the wound size shrinks (known as percent area reduction or PAR). 2. To evaluate how much healthy granulation tissue (new tissue) forms in the wound. 3. To compare healing outcomes when Miro3D is used weekly versus every two weeks. 4. To understand how the treatment affects patients' quality of life, including pain, mobility, and emotional wellbeing. Each participant will be closely monitored by the clinical team throughout the 12-week study period. If a wound heals earlier, the participant will finish the study at that time. If the wound does not heal, the participant may return to their regular physician for follow-up care.

Efficacy of Carbonlife Amniotic Tissue Product in the Treatment of Chronic Wounds

Chronic wounds constitute a significant global health burden, affecting millions of individuals and contributing to increased morbidity, diminished quality of life, and rising healthcare costs. These wounds are characterized by delayed healing and are often associated with complex etiologies and prolonged treatment courses. This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness of Carbonlife amniotic tissue products (ATPs) compared to standard wound care in the management of chronic wounds. A prospective, controlled clinical trial will be conducted across diverse care settings and patient populations with varying wound etiologies. Participants will be stratified by wound type and treatment environment to enable subgroup analyses. The primary endpoint will assess wound healing outcomes, while secondary endpoints will include quality-of-life measures and healthcare resource utilization. The study is designed to generate high-quality evidence regarding the therapeutic value of ATPs in chronic wound management. Stratified analyses will provide insights into the differential effectiveness of ATPs across clinical contexts. Findings are anticipated to have implications for clinical practice guidelines and healthcare policy, with the goal of improving patient outcomes and optimizing resource allocation in wound care.

Retrospective, Multi-center Real-world Study of StimLabs Human Placental Membrane Tissue to Treat Hard-to-Heal Wounds

This is a retrospective, multi-center observational study to assess real-world outcomes of StimLabs human placental membrane tissue used in the treatment of hard-to-heal wounds, including chronic ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), and venous leg ulcers (VLUs). The collection of retrospective real-world data provides a broad range of experiences related to patient healthcare and treatment.

Evaluation of Cold Plasma in Chronic Wound Healing

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of cold atmospheric plasma treatment in promoting the healing of chronic wounds in adult participants suffering from chronic wounds. The main questions is the following: Does the application of cold atmospheric plasma accelerate wound healing compared to standard wound care alone? Researchers will compare standard of care plus plasma treatment with standard of care alone to see if the plasma-treated group shows faster wound healing. Participants will: * Receive either standard wound care alone or standard wound care combined with cold atmospheric plasma treatment, depending on randomization. * Attend scheduled hospital visits for wound care, treatment administration, and clinical assessments, including wound photography and quality of life questionnaires. * Be followed up at home by nurses for wound care, treatment administration and clinical assessment too. * Complete a wound-related quality of life questionnaire at baseline, at week 6, and at the end of the study.

Genetic and Epigenetic Basis of Chronic Wounds

This pilot study is designed for chronic wounds that fail to heal in a timely manner carry specific genetic signatures. These genetic signatures will be studied using debrided wound tissue that is removed by the wound care provider as part of standard of care. The reference genomic signature will be evaluated by obtaining blood samples and will be compared with wound debrided tissue genomic signature to understand wound specific genomic changes.

The Influence of Systematic Psychological Intervention on Patients About VSD Drainage Surgery

This study focuses on providing clinical care to patients undergoing VSD drainage surgery for chronic wounds, while also paying attention to the impact of negative emotions such as depression and anxiety, as well as quality of life and social support, on the patients' physical and mental well-being. It observes the influence of psychology on patients.
