Active clinical trials for "Eczema"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three concentrations of a development drug compared to placebo in the treatment of atopic dermatitis.

Dandelion juice has been used in herbal medicine for at least 1000 years. Vesicular hand eczema is a rare, but difficult to treat, type of hand eczema. One case report has shown that ingestion of dandelion juice could induce a beneficial effect on this type of eczema. The purpose of this study is to test whether this effect can be retrieved in other patients.

The purpose of this study is to assess a bilateral comparison between pimecrolimus cream 1% (Elidel®) and a medical device cream (EletoneTM) in the treatment and management of atopic dermatitis. Study subjects will apply pimecrolimus twice daily for four weeks on a target area located on one side of the body, and apply the medical device cream three times daily for four weeks on the opposite side of the body at a target lesion symmetric to the other.

The purpose of this study is to document the clinical and bacteriological efficacy of retapamulin in the treatment of subjects with bacterial infections, including impetigo, folliculitis, and minor soft tissue infections including secondarily infected eczema presumed to be caused by methicillin resistant Staph aureus. Male and female patients ages 9 months to 98 years will be recruited from a university based dermatology clinic. Upon enrollment, wound cultures will be collected, and then subjects will apply topical retapamulin twice daily for five days. The primary endpoint will be resolution of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection based on clinical presentation and physical exam, as well as bacteriological efficacy based on culture results. It is anticipated that approximately 75 patients will be enrolled, with expectation that approximately 50 of these patients will have MRSA infections.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of Pandel® (hydrocortisone probutate cream) Cream 0.1% on the Hypothalamic Pituitary Adrenal (HPA) axis in pediatric and adult subjects with either psoriasis or atopic dermatitis involving greater than 20% body surface area.

The aim of this trial is to assess the efficacy of 0416 Ointment in the Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis. Treatment medication will be administered as follows: Apply a thin layer of ointment to affected skin areas twice daily and rub in gently and completely. Study medication will be applied twice a day, approximately 12 hours apart, for approximately 2 weeks.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether the topical application of BRT-FC-83C is effective in the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.

The systemic treatments for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) are limited to phototherapy and cyclosporine with the risks respectively of either carcinoma, or hypertension or nephropathy. Methotrexate was effective in 75% of moderate to severe AD patients with good tolerance in an open retrospective study. We want to confirm our observations: a non inferiority multicenter clinical trial, methotrexate versus cyclosporine, will be conducted in 100 patients for 24 weeks.

Atopic Dermatitis (AD) or eczema is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disease that affects 1-3% of the adults and up to 25% of the children in the United States. Patients with severe AD will be studied during a 24-week study with systemic cyclosporine (Neoral, capsule form) to evaluate the immune suppression and pathological correlation of cyclosporine A in these patients in order to determine the extent to which immune activation drives the pathological epidermal phenotype.

The aim of the study is an intra-individual comparison of skin conditions in addition to a patient based assessment of product appearance in the topical treatment of atopic eczema.
