Active clinical trials for "Eczema"

The purpose and (primary) objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of TS-022 in adults with atopic dermatitis who have moderate to very severe pruritus (itching), following a 28-day regimen of twice-daily topical application.

The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical effectiveness of Montelukast in children (2~6 years old) with atopic dermatitis and identify the pathophysiologic background of Montelukast on the role of modulating the atopic dermatitis measured by urinary Leukotriene 4 (LTE4) and Eosinophil protein X(EDN).

This trial is performed to assess the efficacy and safety of ALK-depot SQ mites for treatment of atopic dermatitis

The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical efficacy of 3% (w/w) GW842470X cream applied to involved skin of adult patients with moderate atopic dermatitis using the Eczema Area Severity Index (EASI) assessment of disease severity and to investigate the safety of and tolerability of 3% GW842470X cream on diseased skin of adult patients.

Korean double-blind non-inferiority study to asses the efficacy (as measured by the responder rate of pruritus severity score by the patient at visit 4 or end-of-treatment visit over the 2 weeks treatment period) and safety of Xyzal® to Zyrtec® in subjects suffering from dermatitis and eczema with pruritus symptoms

This study is not being conducted in the US. The study consists of a 4 week double blind treatment period. All patients meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria will enter the study at day 0 and be randomized into either pimecrolimus cream 1% or vehicle treatment groups in a 1:1 ratio. Patients will return to clinic on days 7,14 and 28 for assessments of disease severity. Patients who experience an unsatisfactory therapeutic effect, will attend an unscheduled visit and be withdrawn from the study. Assessments of eligibility include an Investigator's Global Assessment and Pruritus score. Treatment history will be collected at baseline and Quality of Life Questionnaires will be carried out at every visit.

The study was designed to test the hypothesis whether a standardized, time-and score-oriented treatment following a strict evidence based algorithm is equally effective to a standard treatment regimen for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Study Type: Mono-centre study, patients are blinded, physicians are randomized to either treat study- or controll group Eligible are patients age 2 years or older with SCORAD >= 20 Duration: 12 Months, study visits every 4 weeks. Primary endpoint is Difference between Baseline SCORAD and mean SCORAD under treatment. Secundary endpoints are quality of life, safety and economic burden in both treatment groups.

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infection is perceived not only as a common secondary complication of atopic dermatitis (AD), but also as a culprit in the worsening of this condition. In addition, the recent development of community acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) has presented a new challenge to our management of AD, both in treatment of acute infections and maintenance therapy. The investigators would like to perform a randomized investigator-blinded placebo-controlled study of children aged 6 months to 17 years with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis with clinical signs of secondary bacterial infection to study: 1) the prevalence of CA-MRSA in our patient population; 2) the relationship of sensitivity of the S. aureus organism cultured from the infected lesion(s) to clinical response to oral cephalexin therapy and severity of the AD; and 3) whether concurrent treatment of S. aureus infection initially with nasal mupirocin ointment and sodium hypochlorite (bleach) baths can result in long-term S. aureus eradication and clinical stability.

Protocol Title: Immunopharmacological effects of Rituximab in atopic dermatitis Study Phase: Investigator driven study Study Design: Open-label, single center. Primary Study Objective: To determine the efficacy, safety and immunopharmacological effects of Rituximab (anti-CD20) administered as a 1000mg intravenous infusion on days 1 and 15 to patients with atopic dermatitis. Secondary Study Objective: To investigate key immunological parameters involved in the pathology of this common skin disease to interpret the clinical findings. Number of Patients: 6 Study Population: Male and female patients, at least 18 years of age with atopic dermatitis, active inflammation, a severity score of 6-9 according to Langeland and Rajika. Treatment Group: Rituximab will be administered as 1000 mg infusion intravenously at day 1 and 15, followed by a 24-week follow-up period. Visit Schedule: Screening Visit (within 28 days prior to Visit 1) Treatment visits (Visits days 1, 3, 8, 15, 17) Follow-up Visits (Visits weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24) Visit 11/Early Termination Visit (if applicable) Visit 11 will serve as the Early Termination Visit for any patient who withdraws from the study between Visit 1 and 10. Efficacy Parameters: Clinical parameters: EASI Patient Assessment of Pruritus / Pruritus score Physician Global Assessment (PGA) Photography Laboratory analysis: Differential blood count Total IgE, specific IgE (aeroallergen panel) Immunophenotyping of PBMC Lymphocyte proliferation following pan-T stimulation with PHA Cytokine release from blood T cells following pan-T stimulation with PHA Skin tests Histopathology of skin biopsies Safety Parameters: Physical examinations; vital signs; selected blood chemistry, including liver function tests, creatinine; white blood cell count (WBC; including total lymphocyte count); platelets, lymphocyte subset analysis; complement, immunoglobulins (IgA, IgM, IgG, IgE), monitoring for infections; monitoring for concomitant therapies; monitoring for adverse events.

Prospective, descriptive, multicenter, real-world, international clinical investigation. Data collection is based on current clinical practice over a 6-month follow-up period using both electronic Case Report Form (eCRF) and electronic patient diary (specifically designed mobile/Web application). Based on current clinical practice, at least two milestone visits are anticipated with the possibility of intermediary visits in case of flare recurrence: inclusion visit (in-person visit) = Baseline = once clear or almost clear of HE after a moderate to severe flare requiring treatment; flare visit(s) (in-person or teleconsultation) = potential intermediary visit(s) required by the patient in case of HE flare, anticipated to occur anytime between inclusion visit and end of study visit; end of study visit (in-person or teleconsultation) = regular bi-annual visit for patients' follow-up as per clinical practice, anticipated to occur 6 months post-inclusion (-3 / + 1 months).
