Nocardia Cell Wall Skeleton for the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcer Wounds

May 9, 2022 updated by: The Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University

The Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Topical Nocardia Cell Wall Skeleton in the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcer Wounds- A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Multicentre Study

This study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of Nocardia rubra Cell Wall Skeleton (NCWS) in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer wounds. The study was a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicentre study . The subjects were randomly divided into two groups: NCWS group and control group（silver ions dressing）, with a total of 116 cases and 58 cases in each group. Patients in the NCWS group received nocardia rubra cell wall skeleton for external use, in parallel with silver ions dressing treatment. The efficacy and side effects were observed, with a primary endpoint of 30-days wound healing rate.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
