Active clinical trials for "Dermatitis, Atopic"

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of 2 concentrations of OPA-15406 compared to vehicle in participants with atopic dermatitis (AD).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, as well as effectiveness, with regards to the order of application for Locoid Lipocream and Hylatopic Plus cream in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), which is a type of skin rash.Topical skin barrier repair therapies (BRT) that are plain moisturizing creams/lotions with added lipids (fats/oils), such as Hylatopic Plus cream, have emerged as an effective addition to the the treatment of atopic dermatitis. BRTs are often used along with topical steroids (medicated creams), such as Locoid lotion, on skin with AD, and as a monotherapy (single treatment) on both non-diseased and diseased skin. Since BRTs help to restore components of skin that are absent in skin with AD, it is believed that long-term BRT use may reduce further development of further AD. This is an open-label, single site study.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic or chronic recurring inflammatory skin disorder. Patients suffer from eczema and often severe pruritus on the affected skin, as well as from frequent complications and secondary infections. Next to a genetically predetermined defect in epidermal barrier function and vegetative dysfunction, AD arises from an upregulation of Th2-modified immune responses inducing increased IgE-antibody production, cytokine secretion and subsequently, local inflammation. Although standard therapies of AD, modern topical corticosteroids, show a better ratio of therapeutic effects to side effects, they retain a moderate acceptance due to their non-specific action, strict compliance requirements and possible adverse effects. As a newer alternative, calcineurin inhibitors show fewer side effects but raise concerns regarding long term risks including the possibility of skin carcinogenicity. Therefore, medical need remains for novel therapies for this major public health problem, directed in particular at specific early disease-causing mechanisms and/or molecular targets, with an improved efficacy, safety and compliance. Novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases by targeting early disease-causing mechanisms are a promising approach for the treatment of AD. The transcription factor GATA-3 represents the key regulatory factor of Th2-driven immune responses. It is indispensable for the differentiation and activation of Th2 cells; it integrates Th2 signals and induces Th2 cytokine expression. The investigational product SB011 contains the DNAzyme hgd40 that targets GATA-3. By cleaving GATA-3 mRNA hgd40 reduces specific cytokine production and thereby reduces key features of allergic airway inflammation. DNAzymes are completely generated by chemical synthesis and can be produced under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) controlled conditions. The DNAzymes are not biological drugs, i.e. they are not generated by use of any living organism including cell culture or bacteria. The molecules are highly water-soluble and will be applied as a water/oil/water (W/O/W) formulation since multiple emulsions have been shown to protect the active ingredient from degradation on the skin and have penetration enhancing properties in comparison to other carrier systems. This proof-of-concept study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of the topical formulation SB011 containing 2 % hgd40 twice daily (BID) in patients with mild to moderate atopic eczema.

Background: Increase in skin colonization of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in atopic dermatitis patients (AD) resulted from the reduction of cathelicidin production in these patients plays the important role in pathogenesis of this disease. Recently in vivo study has showed that vitamin D can stimulate cathelicidin production. Oral supplement of vitamin D might be beneficial in atopic dermatitis. Objective: To determine the effect of oral vitamin D supplement on clinical impact including skin colonization of S. aureus in atopic dermatitis patients.

Probiotics are suggested to have beneficial effects in atopic dermatitis (AD) treatment and prevention but their precise role is not yet clear. The aim of this randomized double blinded active treatment vs placebo study was to evaluate clinical efficacy of intake of a combination of two probiotics (Lactobacillus salivarius LS01 and Bifidobacterium breve BR03) for the treatment of adult AD patients. The rationale for the use of probiotics in the treatment of atopic dermatitis would be due to some experimental hypotheses: The use of these microbial agents at an early age seems to play an important role in inducing immunity T type 1 (Th1) and inhibit the development of a Th2 response IgE mediated the normal intestinal flora (including probiotics) would play an important role in inducing immunological tolerance the hygiene hypothesis that the reduced bacterial environment would favour a type 2 response T and the development of allergic diseases

The study is divided in 3 parts, starting with the safety assessment of BPR277 ointment in Healthy volunteers (Part 1). If found to be well tolerated in Part 1, BPR277 ointment will be assessed in two different patients groups to evaluate safety and efficacy in atopic dermatitis (Part 2) and in Netherton syndrome (Part 3).

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of short-term treatment with fluocinonide cream 0.1% (Vanos®) in the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD).

To assess the effect and safety of sublingual Dermatophagoides Farinae Drops in adult patients with atopic dermatitis and allergic sensitization to house dust mites.240 adults age 18 to 60 years with atopic dermatitis(Objective Scoring Atopic Dermatitis, Objective SCORAD from 10 to 40) are going to be enrolled in a randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled study.Sublingual Dermatophagoides Farinae Drops or placebo is given for 9 months in addition to standard therapy.SCORAD,average anesis interval,rescue medicine and DLQI will be recorded.

WBI-1001 is a synthetic,new, non-steroid, small molecule being developed as a candidate drug for the topical, cream treatment of inflammatory skin diseases. As such, it affects T-cells through inhibition of T-cell activities including their infiltration processes, and it shows direct anti-inflammatory manifestation in the mouse edema model. This was a 28 day study (plus one follow-up week) on patients with Atopic Dermatitis, and 36 patients were treated randomly, BID with either 0.5%, 1.0% or placebo. Blood samples were taken weekly for PK analysis.

Atopic Dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affect 10 to 15% of children and 2 to 10% of adults. AD is characterised by an itchy skin eruption and may cover large parts of the body. The exact cause is unknown but is thought to be an interplay between genetic and and environmental factors. The objective of this study is to determine whether SRD441 ointment is a safe and effective therapy for mild to moderate Atopic Dermatitis.
