Active clinical trials for "Dermatitis, Contact"

This is an open-label study using a study device currently being prescribed by doctors. This means everyone involved in the study will know the name of the product, only one product will be used, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the sale of this product. Although this is called a device, the product is an emollient-type lotion. Healthcare workers (HCW) often suffer from signs and symptoms of skin irritation, including pain, redness, roughness, dryness, cracking and itching due to the extensive use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as masks and gloves. These are thought to be due to changes in the normal skin barrier function induced by repeated minor abrasion in the warm, moist environment induced by extensive use of PPE required at work. EpiCeram® Controlled Skin Barrier Emulsion (EpiCeram) is a prescription skin barrier repair product containing ingredients specifically designed to improve skin barrier function in people with diseases known to be associated with barrier defects such as atopic and contact dermatitis. However, EpiCeram has not previously been studied in people with skin irritation due to extensive use of PPE.

A Double-blind, Vehicle-controlled Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Three Weeks of Daily Dermal Application of MRX-6 or steroid on the Treatment of Mild to Moderate Allergic Contact Dermatitis of the Hand and Forearm. Total number of patients: up to 80.

The primary objective of this Clinical Investigation was to assess the protective efficacy of a medical device (FOTO ULTRA ISDIN® SOLAR ALLERGY FUSION FLUID) against the polymorphic light eruption induced by the UVA. The secondary objective of this Clinical Investigation was to assess the local safety and the overall tolerability of the test MD on the basis of AE/SAE reporting.

This study is intended to be a cross over study. Subjects will treat one hand while the contralateral hand acts as a control. At the end of 6 weeks the subject will be instructed to cease treatment of the test hand and commence treatment of the control hand for 6 weeks. Efficacy will be evaluated at 6 weeks after the beginning of the treatment and 12 weeks (end of crossover).

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect and safety of rHuPH20 or placebo for the prevention and treatment of skin allergic reaction to nickel. The study drug and placebo will be administered by intradermal injection.

Polymorphic light eruption (PLE) is a common photodermatosis with a high prevalence of approximately 11 to 21% in the population. Similar to lupus erythematosus (LE), an UV-inducible systemic autoimmune disease, PLE has a female preponderance with a mean onset in the second to third decade of life. PLE lesions are very itchy and typically appear on sun-exposed body sites in spring or early summer. The quality of life in patients with PLE is often severely disturbed, as evidenced by high levels of anxiety and depression. For prophylaxis besides conventional sunscreens, photo(chemo)therapy is effective in many cases, when administered over several weeks for hardening in early spring before the first natural sun exposure takes place. However, because prolonged treatment with UVB and/or photochemotherapy is potentially carcinogenic, the search for pathogenic mechanisms and new treatment options in PLE is ongoing. The exact pathogenesis of PLE is currently unknown but findings suggest an autoimmune-type background with resistance to UV-induced immune suppression and simultaneous immune reactions against skin photo-neoantigens. The investigators have recently found that PLE patients had significantly reduced 1,25-(OH)2-vitamin D3 serum levels (13-14ng/ml) compared to the normal population (>30ng/ml). In addition, the investigators were able to demonstrate in an intra-individual half-body trial that topical administration of an immunostimulatory 1,25-(OH)2-vitamin-D3 analogue calcipotriol reduced PLE symptoms in an experimental study. In the proposed randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial the investigators attempt to study the effect of oral vitamin D3 supplementation (2 x 40.000 IE, given orally two weeks apart) on PLE symptoms.

This is a Phase I, single-site study to evaluate the sensitization potential of topically applied ATx201 GEL, 2% and 4%, along with a placebo control, in healthy human subjects.

This two cohort study (Cohort A and B) is being conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of BBI-2000 for the prevention (Cohort A) and treatment (Cohort B) of delayed type hypersensitivity reaction.

A study of subjects with a known nickel allergy comparing Tacrolimus to placebo, both associated with nickel patches to determine the safety and efficacy of treating Chronic Allergic Contact Dermatitis with Tacrolimus Ointment

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of apremilast in patients with recalcitrant atopic or contact dermatitis.
