About this study

Official title: Treatment and Evaluation of Platelet-rich-plasma on Diabetes Wound Healing

The purpose of this study is to focus on the effect of platelet-rich-plasma on diabtic ulcer foot, as adjuvant treatment along with the standard care of chronic diabetic, and evaluate the efficiency and the clinical application of PRP on serious wound healing.

Read the detailed description

Diabetes is a condition in which the body dose not effectively use sugar so that there is too much sugar in the blood. It is estimated that 15% of the diabetics suffer from diabetic food ulcers at some point. The healing process can be slow and easily to be infected with some pathogens so the patients are at risk in amputation. The wound healing process is a complex mechanism involves the interaction of molecular signals and different cell types. Platelets play important roles in wound healing. When injury occurs platelets are activated with thrombin and clot is formed. In addition to the function of hemostasis, activated platelets release many growth factors that trigger angiogenesis, extracellular matrix production and cytokine release, which is need for wound healing.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a portion of plasma fraction of autologous blood having a high concentration of thrombocytes. Thrombin induces the activation of PRP and results in the release of multiple growth factors, including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulin-like growth factor (IGF), and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β). PRP is known for the capacity to stimulate cell proliferation and differentiation. PRP can also interact with macrophage to improve tissue healing and regeneration, and exhibit potent activities against several kinds of pathogens.

Our study will focus on the advantage of PRP for aiding wound healing for diabetes. PRP from autologous blood can be mixed with thrombin in appropriate ratio and inject into the sites around the wound, as adjuvant treatment along with the standard care of chronic diabetic. The wound will be checked 1 to 2 times each week for the evaluation of PRP on clinical application.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. effect of PRP on diabete wound closure

    The wound was checked twicw each month using a digital camera and ruler to trace the area of wound. Wound closure was determined as the percentage closed and calculated as:

    % Closed = [(Area on Day 0 - Open Area on Final Day)] x 100

    Measured: every 2 weeks, from the first date of PRP treatment and up to 12 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing wound healing in people with Diabetic Ulcers on Both Feet, run by China Medical University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

effect of PRP on diabete wound closure (time frame: every 2 weeks, from the first date of PRP treatment and up to 12 weeks.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Oct 2015.
