Active clinical trials for "Dermatitis, Contact"

Irritant contact dermatitis induced by sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) is often used as a model for testing efficacy of various topical preparations. Aforementioned model is standardized and described in guidelines, but it is not explicitly stated where the irritation should be induced. Published clinical trials usually irritate volar aspect of forearms or upper back. Also, lower back and dorsal aspect of forearm are sometimes used. Skin parameters vary depending on anatomic location of measured skin. There is a difference in stratum corneum thickness, hydration and transepidermal water loss across different locations, including between volar forearm and upper back. Furthermore, regional difference in skin response to irritation by tape stripping and benzalkonium chloride were observed. Such differences are also possible in SLS irritation model. One study has shown higher, but not statistically significant, response of back in comparison to forearms, but it had a very small sample size (n=9). Moreover, there are regional variations of topical preparations absorption. Hydrocortisone had 1,7 times higher absorption when applied to upper back in comparison to forearms. Those variations could be explained by different corneocyte size and number of their layers between back and hands. Skin baseline properties and response to irritation seem to be dependent on anatomic position. Those differences could mean different response to treatment. Since published trials only tested efficacy of various preparations on one anatomic location, it is possible their results would be different if tested on other body parts. It could limit validity and usefulness of conducted trials. The aim of this study is to determine if there are regional differences of skin response to irritation and emollient cream treatment in irritant contact dermatitis model.

This is a clinical study for health care product safety assessment. The research is going to conducted with 55 subjects, aged 18 to 70 years. The product is applied on the right and/or left participant back. After a wash out, the product is reapplied. Medical evaluation will be available throughout the study to assess possible adverse events. The main of the study is to observe the effects of the application of the product on the skin and prove the absence of irritability and/or allergy, photoallergy and phototoxicity.

This is a clinical study for health care product safety assessment. The research will be conducted with 40 subjects*, aged 18 to 70 years. The product will be applied on the right and/or left participant back for 3 consecutive weeks. After 10 days, will have another application of the same product, which will be removed in 24 hours. Medical evaluation will be available throughout the study to assess possible adverse events. The objective of the study is to observe the effects of the application of the product on the skin and prove the absence of photoallergy and phototoxicity. * 29 completed the trial

Evaluate the potential of Primary Dermal Irritability, Accumulated Dermal Irritability and Dermal Sensitization, of health products through the application of Patch Test, proving the safety of the product for topical use. The study will be conducted with a Brazilian sample in which 65 research participants will be included. Depending on the results, the present study may support the claim: dermatologically tested.

The purpose of the study is to assess the effect of a single dose of NI-0801 on the severity of nickel-induced allergic contact dermatitis.

Natural Killer (NK) cells play a unique role during innate immune responses as they are able to recognize and eliminate, without specific sensitization, tumors, microbe-infected cells as well as allogeneic cells.In a first time, we will characterize the tissue distribution, the phenotype and the effector functions of NK cells present in the human healthy skin.

The purpose of this research is to assess human and artificial intelligence performance in grading contact dermatitis reactions in healthy volunteers.

This is a two-arm, open-label study that aims to compare the incidence and severity of the most common adverse reactions, particularly contact dermatitis, when Valchlor is used alone or in conjunction with triamcinolone ointment 0.1% in early stage MF subjects (Stage IA and IB) for a period of 4 months.

Nickel (Ni)-mediated allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a very common disease worldwide. Our previous findings demonstrated that in vitro supplementation of polyphenols, extracted from seeds of red grape (Nero di Troia cultivar), to peripheral lymphomonocytes from Ni-mediated ACD patients could reduce release of T helper (h)1 [interferon (IFN)-] and Th2 [interleukin (IL)-4] cytokines, on the one hand. On the other hand, IL-10 (an anti-inflammatory cytokine) levels increased with a reduction of IL-17 (an inflammatory cytokine). Also levels of nitric oxide (NO) decreased in response to polyphenol pretreatment.

Investigators will sample the skin and blood of patients with chronic skin conditions (including but not limited to atopic dermatitis (AD), contact dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), and psoriasis) to study the expression of anti-oxidative enzymes, skin barrier proteins and inflammatory molecules. In patients with atopic dermatitis, investigators will also measure skin barrier function using noninvasive devices. These results will be correlated with the disease severity in atopic dermatitis patients.
