Active clinical trials for "Dermatitis, Atopic"

Atopic Dermatitis (AD), also known as eczema, is a common skin disease characterized by itchy lesions. The prevalence of AD has increased over the past few decades, with 15-30% of children and 2-10% of adults being affected. The lesions of atopic dermatitis patients are very inflamed, with an increased number of inflammatory cells in the skin. The first line treatment for AD is steroids, which reduce inflammation in the skin. There are several ways to measure if the treatment is effective, including clinical and cellular. We are proposing that a controlled skin allergen challenge will be an effective way to measure the effect of steroid at a cellular level through the measurement of inflammatory cells in the late cutaneous response. This will be examined using a placebo-controlled trial.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of additional nursing instruction for the caregivers of newly diagnosed pediatric atopic dermatitis patients at the University of Missouri Dermatology clinic.

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic relapsing disease, which is highly prevalent in children (15%). Therapeutic patient education (TPE) has been recognized as a key priority topic for future AD research. The strongest evidence in favour of TPE efficacy in AD comes from a large study assessing repeated multi-disciplinary group education sessions in a hospital setting. However, this type of intervention is both resource and time consuming and is not adapted to typical French practice. However, in some french dermatology centers, simple "first level" nurse-led TPE interventions are offered in addition to physicians consultations. Unfortunately, the content of these interventions seems to vary greatly depending on the caregiver and the center and the benefits of these practices have not yet been assessed. Therefore, nurse-led TPE is not considered as current care in France for AD patients. Thus, there is a need to rigorously assess the benefits of additional, well-structured, simple nurse-led individual TPE interventions for children with AD and their families compared to standard care alone. This study will be the first large, adequately powered, multicenter RCT trial assessing this type of intervention in children with AD.

The objective of this pilot double-blind study was to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of Broncho-Vaxom 1 capsule (3.5 mg) per day for 9 months compared to placebo on the evolution of the disease in children suffering from Atopic Dermatitis (AD).

This is a double-blind, randomized, vehicle-controlled, multi-center, parallel group Phase 3 study of MSRD-100 in the treatment of atopic dermatitis in subjects aged 3 months and up

The aim of this pragmatic, parallel group, assessor-blind randomised open-label prospective study is to determine the reasons that motivate parents to enrol or not enrol their child in a randomized, controlled basic emollient trial for the prevention of atopic eczema (AE). Furthermore, this trial intends to test the hypothesis that daily skin barrier enhancement with Lipikar Baume AP+® in newborns at high risk is safe and efficient in preventing AE. T

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy of nemolizumab administered in combination with topical background therapy (topical corticosteroids [TCS] with or without topical calcineurin inhibitors [TCI]) in adult participants with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) who are not adequately controlled with or are not advised to use oral cyclosporine A (CsA) for medical reasons. The secondary objective is to investigate the safety of nemolizumab in adult participants with moderate-to-severe AD who are not adequately controlled with or are not advised to use oral CsA for medical reasons. The study will be carried out in up to 70 different locations across Europe.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a new SVR care product and to evaluate the reduction of the topical corticosteroids' consumption with this emollient care. Atopic dermatitis is a vicious circle that must be broken, but certain aggravating factors are added to this circle. There is a lot of talk about pollution but, more recently, studies have been carried out on the worsening role of dust mites on atopic skin. The SVR product is therefore based on it: TOPIALYSE Baume Barrière is a care product that is lipid-replenishing, repairing and protective: a triple reinforced action for 48 hours: anti-scratching, anti-irritation, and anti-external aggression.

Unlike healthy control skin, the skin of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) is frequently colonized by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), putting these patients at increased risk of S. aureus skin infections. In addition, research in the investigator's lab has shown that these patients have fewer protective antimicrobial Staphylococcal species such as Staphylococcal epidermidis (S. epidermidis) known to produce antimicrobial peptides that play a role in protecting the skin from invading pathogens. In this study, the investigator will attempt to decrease S. aureus colonization and increase colonization by protective Staph species. First the investigator will culture the bacteria on subjects' lesional AD skin. The investigator will selectively grow the subject's antimicrobial Staph colonies and place them into a base moisturizer. The moisturizer plus bacteria will be applied to both of the subject's arms. Prior to applying this, though, one arm will first be pre-treated with an antimicrobial regiment of Dial liquid antibacterial soap and alcohol. We will then compare the abundance of antimicrobial Staph species on each subject's arms 24 hours later to determine whether the pre-treatment regimen increased survival of the transplanted antimicrobial Staph species. The investigator expects that the arm pre-treated with the antimicrobial regimen will have more antimicrobial Staph species at this time point.

To investigate the therapeutic effect of a selected probiotic mixture on the severity of AD in infants aged 0-15 months. The probiotic mixture has been studied in laboratory setting and has proven IL-10 stimulating effects. Therefore it is thought to decrease AD severity in young children (beyond the conventional treatment).
