Active clinical trials for "Dermatitis, Seborrheic"

SEBORRHEAMEDIS Face Cream is a barrier-based, non-steroidal cream. The cream includes plant extracts The cream was designed to manage the symptoms of facial Seborrheic dermatitis symptoms such as erythema, scaling and pruritus.

Extina (ketoconazole) Foam, 2% was approved for marketing in the United States (US) in June 2007. Extina foam is indicated for topical treatment of seborrheic dermatitis in immunocompetent patients 12 years of age and older. The approved dosing regimen is twice daily for 4 weeks. The treatment of recurrent seborrheic dermatitis demands a topical preparation that is safe for both short-term and chronic application. This study is being conducted in order to obtain long-term safety data on the use of Extina (ketoconazole) Foam, 2% in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis.

The purpose of this study is to determine if two test products are safe and effective in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis.

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common and recurrent dermatosis that characteristically involves the scalp, nasolabial folds, eyebrows, glabella, and upper eye lids. It presents as an erythematous, thin scaly patch with a greasy sandpaper texture that varies depending on disease severity. While seborrheic dermatitis most frequently occurs on the face, it can involve other areas of the body especially the chest, abdomen, and axilla. Overall incidence is thought to be between 2-5% of the general population, though this is likely an underestimation. Pruritus is variable, though the signs and symptoms of this disorder are certainly worsened by certain external conditions especially weather, personal perspiration, stress, and poor hygiene. Patients often complain about the red, scaly patches on the face. Antifungal agents are frequently used as monotherapy or in combination regimens in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis. Topical corticosteroids are often used for their anti-inflammatory effects. Long term use of topical steroids on the face is not a preferred treatment modality due to the risk of striae development and other textural changes that occur over time. Therefore, topical crisaborole may be an alternative given its non-corticosteroid anti-inflammatory action. Crisaborole is a phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4) inhibitor that increases intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels to exert its anti-inflammatory effects. While it has not previously been investigated for its effects in seborrheic dermatitis, further studies evaluating its role in this disease are warranted. Therefore, the investigators propose a proof of concept study using topical crisaborole 2% ointment on the face for 4 weeks to evaluate the anti-inflammatory action of this agent and its utility in the treatment of facial seborrheic dermatitis.

Seborrhoeic eczema (SE) is a chronic, inflammatory skin disorder confined to areas of the head and trunk where sebaceous glands are most prominent. The severity varies from mild dandruff to exfoliative erythroderma that ranges from mild, patchy scaling to widespread, and thick, adherent crusts. The worldwide prevalence of SE is 3-5%, although dandruff, the mildest form of the disorder affects up to 15-20% of the population. In this multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III study, adult SE patients are treated once daily for 4 weeks. The population for this study is patients with mild to moderate SE. The primary endpoint for this study is the efficacy of K301 compared to placebo which was based on the sum score for erythema and desquamation after 4 weeks of daily application. Secondary endpoints are to evaluate safety and tolerability as well as efficacy.

This study is to determine whether a medication on the market for other indications is effective and safe in treating seborrheic dermatitis of the face.

A growing body of evidence supports the hypothesis that the pathophysiology of seborrhoeic dermatitis has a potentially causative neurogenic inflammatory aspect. ASF1057 is a new drug that acts through a modulation of neurogenic inflammation through important complementary mechanisms of action. This study will test the efficacy and safety of ASF1057 in the treatment of patients with seborrhoeic dermatitis.

This was a parallel group, double blind, vehicle-controlled study assessed the safety and efficacy of roflumilast foam (ARQ-154) vs placebo foam in participants with seborrheic dermatitis.

The study will assess the safety and efficacy of ARQ-154 foam vs vehicle applied once for 8 weeks by subjects with seborrheic dermatitis.

Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory dermatological disease, evolving by relapses, affecting mainly the face and scalp. It would be important to have a maintenance treatment for severe forms of seborrheic dermatitis witch is both effective and relatively well tolerated to reduce the frequency of relapses, prolong remissions obtained after attack treatment and reduce the use of topical steroids.
