Active clinical trials for "Eczema"

Pimecrolimus, which is an ascomycin derivative, is an anti-inflammatory non-steroidal agent. In this study, the long-term safety and efficacy of Pimecrolimus cream will be evaluated in Japanese pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis. This study is a 6-month extension study following core study. THIS STUDY IS NOT ENROLLING PATIENTS IN THE UNITED STATES

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of pimecrolimus cream 1% in its registered indication (treatment of patients > 3 months of age with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis) This study is not enrolling patients in the United States.

Atopic dermatitis is a common disease. Emollients and Elidel have both shown to be effective to treat this disease. The research question is, whether the effective component (Elidel) is better than the emollient to improve the skin function.

This study is not being conducted in the United States. To investigate the relative efficacy of pimecrolimus cream 1% applied twice daily (b.i.d.) versus once daily (o.d.) in preventing the progression to disease "relapse".

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the safety of pimecrolimus cream 1% in the long-term treatment (up to 5 years) of atopic dermatitis (eczema) in patients less than 12 months of age compared to topical corticosteroids (TCS).

Atopic dermatitis, also called eczema, is characterized by redness, papulation (skin elevation) and pruritus (skin itching). The active ingredient of pimecrolimus inhibits the T-cell activation. These cells are involved in the inflammatory component of the disease. This study will test the safety of pimecrolimus Cream 1% with topical corticosteroid treatment (commonly used in eczema) in patients with severe atopic dermatitis.

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic relapsing disease with acute flares. The standard therapy is to treat acute flares using topical medications. The two most common classes of topical medications for atopic dermatitis (AD) are topical corticosteroids and topical calcineurin inhibitors. Pimecrolimus and topical corticosteroids exert their activity by different mechanisms, there may be a synergistic effect of the combination therapy. Therefore, a combination therapy may provide a faster resolution of severe skin lesions and consequently reduce the duration of the topical corticosteroid treatment. Another benefit of the combination therapy maybe the use of a lower potency corticosteroid to achieve the same degree of clearance. The hypothesis of this trial is that the combination of the two agents will lead to faster clearance than the single agent of topical corticosteroids.

This is a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group, Multiple-Site Study to Evaluate the Therapeutic Equivalence of a Generic Pimecrolimus Cream, 1% (Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Ltd) to the Marketed Product ELIDEL® (pimecrolimus) Cream, 1% (Valeant Pharmaceuticals North America LLC) in the Treatment of Mild to Moderate Atopic Dermatitis (AD).

To establish the bioequivalence between test drug, Pimecrolimus Cream, 1% with that of reference listed drug, Elidel® (pimecrolimus) Cream 1%, in the treatment of mild to moderate Atopic Dermatitis. To establish superiority of each active treatment over the placebo.

There is an emergent evidence demonstrating the role of Vitamin D deficiency in eczema. Vitamin D supplementation with standard treatment yielded positive clinical outcomes for children and adolescents with mild and moderate AD; however, the potential benefit of vitamin D in severe cases remains unclear
