Phase II Randomized Trial:Arginine Butyrate Plus Standard Local Therapy in Patients With Refractory Sickle Cell Ulcers

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Skin Ulcers, Sickle Cell Anemia

In brief

OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the efficacy of local care alone vs local care plus arginine butyrate in terms of healing rate in patients with refractory sickle cell ulcers. II. Determine the effect of arginine butyrate therapy on tissue factors related to promotion or inhibition of wound healing in these patients. III. Determine whether the regimen used in this study is appropriate for testing in pivotal trials.
