Potential Injection of Human Umbilical Cord Secretome in the Case of Trophic Ulcers (Pre-post Intervention)

Summary

Background: Trophic ulcer is one of the complications that arise due to leprosy infection of the skin and includes diseases that trigger permanent disability and reduce the quality of life of the person. The facts in the field that more than 50% of chronic ulcers, especially trophic ulcers due to leprosy fail to heal with usual treatment. Therefore it is important to do a new method in healing trophic ulcers. Stem cell therapy or one of them is conditioned medium mesenchymal stem cell is a promising therapy because of its biological and physiological processes resembling the mechanism of wound healing Method: This research is a clinical trial research "Open Trial". Phase 1 to see the side effects caused by the intervention. Minimum sample size of 20 respondents with trophic ulcers due to leprosy that is difficult to resolve with usual treatment. The main outcome is wound healing in terms of the length and extent of the wound. The secondary outcome is treatment toxicity 4 weeks after administration. Follow-up visits will be scheduled at 2, 4, and 12 weeks post-treatment. If the results confirm safety, feasibility and potential efficacy, large multicenter randomized controlled trials with longer follow-up will begin with a focus on the effectiveness of therapy
