Active clinical trials for "Dermatitis, Contact"

The treatment of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) can be unsatisfactory, and that other skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis have an increased likelihood of ACD, improved systemic treatments are needed. This research study explores the effectiveness of Baricitinib in treating Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity (allergic) versus Irritant Skin reactions. Subjects for this study need to be healthy males between the ages of 18 and 40. This study will evaluate this by injecting antigens as well as applying them on top of the skin to the forearm then measure the effects of Baricitinib by skin and blood testing.

This is a multi-center randomized controlled trial to evaluate two different methods of reinforcing surgical port site closure: 2-Octylcyanoacrylate and n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate.

The global coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19) has led to an increased need to wear protective equipment such as wearing face masks and practicing hygiene measures such as more frequent use of antiseptics. These measures can lead to changes in the skin, the development of new inflammatory skin diseases or exacerbation of existing ones, with health professionals especially under the risk of developing these changes. Changes in the skin of the hands due to the use of antiseptics have been observed in a number of studies, however, part of the study was based solely on subjects' self-assessment or clinical assessment of researchers, and only a small part on objective measurements of skin parameters. Also, the impact of prolonged use of antiseptics and the impact of measures to prevent and protect against irritation such as topical application of emollient preparations have not been investigated. The impact of repeated use of antiseptics in the repeated exposure model on the forearms will be investigated. This model is a modification of the existing model of irritative dermatitis induced by sodium lauryl sulfate where the original irritant was replaced by an antiseptic solution.

The purpose of this study is to answer: how do inflammation and anti-inflammatory skin therapies work in the skin? Inflammation is a protective response from the body's immune system to injury, disease, or irritation. It is a process by which your body's white blood cells and the things they make protect you from infection from outside invaders such as bacteria and viruses.

Phototherapy, including ultraviolet B (UVB) and ultraviolet A (UVA) light, has been used to treat a number of dermatologic conditions. Psoriasis is one of the most common conditions treated with phototherapy, in which phototherapy is often indicated for extensive disease with contraindications for other systemic treatments. The mechanism of action of phototherapy for the treatment of psoriasis is not completely understood; however, it is known that UVB light induces apoptosis of pathogenic T cells and keratinocytes, which may reduce the overactive immune response and epidermal hyperproliferation. Phototherapy has shown some efficacy for other diseases, such as alopecia areata (AA) and polymorphous light eruption (PMLE). However, phototherapy is not always an accessible treatment option for patients due to cost or lack of time.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EB01 Cream (0.2%, 1.0%, 2.0%) applied twice per day (BID) for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). The purpose of the open label extension is to assess the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of EB01 2.0% cream in subjects with moderate to severe chronic allergic contact dermatitis.

The study will investigate if Anakinra can ameliorate allergic contact dermatitis in participants with known nickel allergy

The goal of this study is to look into the patterns of sensitization to figure out how allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), individual susceptibility, and patient characteristics are connected. The joint application of classic statistics and machine learning methods will reveal the relationship between contact dermatitis expressions and several clinical characteristics.

Linalool is currently one of the most used fragrance substances in cosmetic and household products. Previous studies report a high prevalence (5.9-11.7%) of contact allergy to hydroperoxides of linalool (Lin-OOH)1.0% in pet. among patch tested patients. The optimal test concentration of Lin-OOH in patch tests is not known and requires further investigation. It is of great importance to establish the optimal test concentration and elicitation threshold of Lin-OOH to improve diagnosis and prevent development of Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD). We want to mimic real-life exposure to Lin-OOH, by conducting a ROAT (Repeated Open Application Test) study, on 40 adult participants (20 patients with confirmed contact allergy to Lin-OOH, and 20 healthy participants) to low doses of Lin-OOH using a simulated "perfume", during a maximum of 21 days of exposure. With this knowledge, we aim to: Establish the optimal patch test concentration to diagnose ACD to Lin-OOH In case of confirmed contact allergy, examine the threshold value for the development of ACD upon daily exposure to a simulated leave-on cosmetic product

A feasibility study of treatment with a occlusive medical device or patch in pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes suffering from irritative contact dermatitis due to diabetes devices.
