Active clinical trials for "Eczema"

This is a single-blind, cross-over pilot study to observe the safety and efficacy of Ganoderma tea on eczema patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Runzao zhiyang capsule in treating chronic eczema.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of an amino acid moisturizing cream and desonide cream in reducing skin symptoms associated with AD/eczema in subjects with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis/eczema.

This is an observational study to assess the long-term safety of Protopic® Ointment for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. Patients whose ages are/were < 16 years at the time of first tacrolimus ointment exposure are eligible to participate. No drug is distributed during this observational trial.

purpose of this study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of two MVA smallpox vaccine injections in healthy adults that are 18-35 years of age with a history of mild to moderate Atopic Dermatitis.

Forgetting is usually listed as the most important cause of low adherence among patients. Most studies to date have looked at the adherence of adults or adolescent population. No studies have been done looking specifically at adherence to topical treatment by parents/caregivers of young children. Our project will try to replicate the same results among the parents/caregivers responsible for children ten years and under. The population in this study will be the parents/caregivers of children 10 and under with atopic dermatitis and the intervention will be the effect of electronic reminders in adherence rates for the use of a moisturizer which is recognized as part of the standard of care in the treatment of atopic dermatitis.

The purpose of this study is to determine clinical efficacy and safety of KM110329 for Atopic dermatitis.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin disease that occurs most commonly during early infancy and childhood. It is frequently associated with abnormalities in skin barrier function, allergen sensitization and recurrent skin infections. AD is a major public health problem worldwide, with prevalence in children of 10-20% and 2-5% of the general population. The skin of AD patients is susceptible to colonization and infection with Staphylococcus aureus (SA )which contribute significantly to the severity of the clinical manifestations of eczema, triggering a vicious cycle. Fusidic Acid (FA) cream is a topical antibiotic widely used in the treatment of skin and soft tissue infections and infected atopic dermatitis. However in recent years, the emergence of drug-resistant organisms, e.g. Methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has led to scrutiny of antibiotic use. Prolonged use of topical FA has been linked with emergence of FA-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (FRSA) . Fusidic acid is a natural antibiotic, extracted from cultures of Fusidium coccineum, which has a powerful antibacterial action. Topical use of Fusidic acid is fully in line with therapeutic strategies that recommend the use of an antibiotic with the narrowest activity spectrum to minimize the risk of resistance. In AD with infected lesions, combined treatment with antibiotic and steroid demonstrates greater efficacy over the use of steroid. Trial Design: A three-center, double blind, randomized ,phase II , parallel group, efficacy trial. Type of Intervention: A triple compounded cream containing a topical antibiotic , topical steroid and moisturizer. Type of control: Active control containing a double compounded cream comprising a topical steroid and moisturizer . Study population and Setting: A sample of 78 subjects will be recruited from Red Cross Children's Hospital , Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital and King Edward Hospital Estimated duration of trial: 12 months. Duration of participation: Each subject will participate in the trial for a maximum of 140 days. Primary endpoint: reduction in SCORAD scores; frequency of clinical flares for AD and improvement in the quality of life at 140 days. The benefit of this trial is that it provides a simple and effective approach to the management of atopic eczema.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory skin disease that has potential for profound and far-reaching effects on all aspects of children and their families lives, significantly reducing the quality of life. Atopic dermatitis typically appears in infancy and nowadays is affecting up to 10-30% of children and 2-10% of adults. Diminished skin barrier is the essential factor that plays a role in the initiation, consolidating and exacerbating AD. Treatment options for AD typically address skin barrier protection or inflammatory components of disease. Proper care using mild and appropriately formulated emollient preparations may provide significant benefits. In investigators prior study, more than half of pharmacy-derived emollient preparations contained potential contact haptens listed in the European baseline series (EBS), used in diagnosing contact dermatitis. The primary aim of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of regularly applied emollient in an atomiser (in the form of oil-in-water emulsion) in maintenance therapy, in children presenting from mild to moderate atopic dermatitis. In this study 3 visits are planned (for a period of 4 weeks). During each visit investigators will evaluate transepidermal water loss (TEWL), capacitance of outer areas of the stratum corneum as an indirect assessment of skin hydration. Moreover, investigators will assess three-them-severityIndex and the Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI). The product that participants will use in the study, was prepared at investigators request, in collaboration with the cosmetics company, which according to investigators knowledge at present, will not be benefited from the audit. The following described study project (prospective clinical trial, uncontrolled, open-label) will be conducted within the framework of the statutory tasks of the Department of Pulmonology and Allergology of Children Medical University of Warsaw and is a non-commercial project.

The study aims to evaluate the efficacy, improvement from baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score, of multiple intravenous (IV) doses of FB825 in subjects with atopic dermatitis
