Prospective Longitudinal Observational Research in Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic DermatitisAsthma1 more

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a frequent chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disorder, characterized by intensely itchy eczema. AD usually starts within the first 2 years of life. In 30 - 60% of children, inflammation spreads onto other body surfaces such as the gastrointestinal tract, the respiratory tract, and the conjunctives within a few years. This sequence is called atopic march. Atopic dermatitis and associated atopic diseases are more frequent in families, suggesting a genetic predisposition. However, the underlying factors such as genetic phenotype, environmental factors, or life style which cause or worsen an existing allergic disease are not understood yet. Affected people suffer from recurrent flares that result in significantly impaired quality. This study will collect clinical and laboratory data to elucidate immunotolerance and preventiv stategies with the aim to develop new and individual treatment options of atopic diseases.

Microbiome in Atopic Dermatitis Under Systemic Therapy

Atopic Dermatitis

The skin microbiome plays a role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis. However, it is unclear whether the range of microbiota on the skin is the cause or consequence of atopic skin inflammation. The influence of new systemic therapies for the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (such as biologics or Janus kinase inhibitors) on the skin microbiome is largely unknown. The main aim of this scientific exploratory study is to investigate whether and how the skin microbiome changes in patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis during systemic therapy. This not only allows new hypotheses to be generated on the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis, but also new objective scales for the severity of atopic dermatitis can be developed.

Metabolic Profiling of Immune Responses in Immune-mediated Diseases

Primary ImmunodeficiencyPsoriasis2 more

Background: The immune system is the part of the body that fights infection. Some people have immune deficiencies that cause skin rashes, make them get sick often with infections, or make it difficult for their skin to heal. Researchers want to learn more to better treat conditions that affect immune response. Objective: To learn about how the immune system and skin healing are related to each other. Eligibility: People ages 18-75 with primary immune deficiency, eczema, or psoriasis. Healthy volunteers are also needed. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical and medicine history and a physical exam. They may take a pregnancy test. Participants will discuss the medicines or supplements they take as well as skin products they use, such as soaps and lotions. Participants will have up to 4 skin biopsies taken from the forearm. A needle will inject an anesthetic into the skin where the biopsy will be done. A sharp tool that looks like a tiny cookie cutter will be used to remove a round plug of skin a bit smaller than the tip of a pencil. Participants will give at least 1 blood sample. Participants may have optional skin swab collection. A cotton swab will be used to swab the skin on the arm. Participants may have optional skin tape collection. A sticky strip of tape will be placed on the arm and then removed. Participants may give leftover samples taken as part of their regular medical care. Participation will last for about 4 days. Participants will have 2 visits that each last about 1 hour. They may be asked to repeat the study in the future.

Adverse Pregnancy OutcomesAtopic Dermatitis

The objective of this study is to describe and compare the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes (spontaneous abortion/miscarriage, stillbirth) and prevalence of infant outcomes (major congenital malformations [MCMs], small for gestational age [SGA]) in women with AD who are treated with dupilumab during pregnancy relative to women with AD who are not treated with dupilumab during pregnancy.

Fish Oil Supplementation During Pregnancy for Prevention of Asthma, Eczema and Allergies in Childhood...

AsthmaEczema1 more

The aim of this study is to prevent asthma and allergies in childhood by supplementation with fish oil (n-3 fatty acids) to the mother during pregnancy. Paticipants are mother and children participating in the ABC-(Asthma Begins in Childhood)cohort. Mothers are recruited during pregnancy and receive supplement with n-3 fatty acids or olive oil (placebo) from week 24 of gestation to 1 week after delivery. The child is followed with acute and planned visit at the research unit and diagnosis of disease is done in the research unit according to predefined algorithms.

Studies of Skin Microbes in Healthy People and in People With Skin Conditions

Atopic DermatitisEczema1 more

This study will examine microbes (e.g., bacteria, fungi, viruses) that live on human skin and how microbes contribute to health and disease. It will analyze healthy human skin and how the these microorganisms might change in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), a skin condition also known as eczema. Healthy volunteers, as well as patients with moderate to severe eczema (AD), between 2 and 40 years of age may be eligible for this study. We also wish to enroll children and adults aged 2-40 who have been diagnosed with inherited immune disorders known as HIES (hyperimmunoglobulin-E syndrome), WAS (Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome), or DOCK8 immunodeficiency because they frequently have skin problems similar to AD. Eligible participants undergo the following tests and procedures: Medical family and medication history Skin examination Blood tests (research blood as well as serum IgE, and complete blood count) Skin samples to analyze microbes. Samples are obtained by the following methods: swabbing the skin with a cotton swab; scraping (scratching) the skin gently with a blade to remove only the outermost skin layers; and, only in adults, biopsy (surgical removal) of a small skin sample less than 1/4-inch (5 mm) in diameter. Nose swabs to analyze microbes. Patients with eczema may have photographs of their skin taken to help monitor the skin rashes. Participants may be contacted periodically for follow-up studies. Patients with atopic dermatitis may have additional skin samples collected to examine changes in the skin bacteria over time and during all of the stages of eczema. In addition, patients who have a flare of their eczema are asked to undergo a skin sample collection as soon as possible.

A Prospective Sample Collection Study Using Non-invasive Methods to Investigate Biomarkers in AD...

Atopic Dermatitis

This is a prospective, multicenter, sample collection study using DermTech's non-invasive skin collection kits to evaluate genomic biomarkers and microbiome information from pediatric and adult subjects with atopic dermatitis(AD). Samples collected will be analyzed to detect gene signatures and microbiome populations associated with AD and sub-populations of AD.
