Broncho-Vaxom (OM 85 BV) in Children Suffering From Atopic Dermatitis
Atopic DermatitisThe objective of this pilot double-blind study was to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of Broncho-Vaxom 1 capsule (3.5 mg) per day for 9 months compared to placebo on the evolution of the disease in children suffering from Atopic Dermatitis (AD).
Apremilast and Moderate to Severe Chronic Hand Dermatitis
Chronic Hand DermatitisInvestigators have designed a pilot study involving chronic hand dermatitis (CHD) patients who attend the dermatology clinic at the George Washington Medical Faculty Associates (GW MFA) in order to assess the efficacy and safety of apremilast treatment for the treatment of moderate to severe CHD.
Melatonin Cream Against Acute Radiation Dermatitis in Patients With Early Breast Cancer
Radiation DermatitisRadiation Dermatitis Acute1 moreThe aim of the present randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled clinical trial is to investigate if melatonin can protect against acute radiation dermatitis in patients with early breast cancer receiving radiation therapy, and whether this has an impact on the patients' quality of life.
EARLYEMOLLIENT - Feasibility of Early Emollient Use in Children With Atopic Eczema
Atopic DermatitisThe aim of this pragmatic, parallel group, assessor-blind randomised open-label prospective study is to determine the reasons that motivate parents to enrol or not enrol their child in a randomized, controlled basic emollient trial for the prevention of atopic eczema (AE). Furthermore, this trial intends to test the hypothesis that daily skin barrier enhancement with Lipikar Baume AP+® in newborns at high risk is safe and efficient in preventing AE. T
Very Small Embryonic-like Stem Cells for Facial Skin Antiaging
Stem Cell Transplant ComplicationsSkin InflammationThe aim of this study is the safety and efficacy of autologous very small embryonic-like stem cells(VSELs) to facial skin antiaging.
Perianal Maceration in Pediatric Ostomy Closure Patients
Perianal DermatitisDiaper Dermatitis3 moreThis pilot study will explore whether preoperative application of stool from the stoma bag to the perianal area will prevent/ decrease postoperative perianal maceration in pediatric ostomy closure patients. It will also explore the overall safety and feasibility of this pilot study for larger randomized control trials. There will be a control group and an intervention group. The intervention group will apply stool from the stoma bag approximately 4 weeks prior to ostomy closure and fill out a compliance log and upload pictures weekly to the MyCHP (My Children's Hospital) portal. A validated diaper dermatitis score will be utilized in this study.
Evaluation of the Efficacy of Topialyse Baume barrière on Atopic Dermatis
Atopic DermatitisThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a new SVR care product and to evaluate the reduction of the topical corticosteroids' consumption with this emollient care. Atopic dermatitis is a vicious circle that must be broken, but certain aggravating factors are added to this circle. There is a lot of talk about pollution but, more recently, studies have been carried out on the worsening role of dust mites on atopic skin. The SVR product is therefore based on it: TOPIALYSE Baume Barrière is a care product that is lipid-replenishing, repairing and protective: a triple reinforced action for 48 hours: anti-scratching, anti-irritation, and anti-external aggression.
Efficacy and Safety of Nemolizumab in Subjects With Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis With Inadequate...
Moderate-to-severe Atopic DermatitisThe primary objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy of nemolizumab administered in combination with topical background therapy (topical corticosteroids [TCS] with or without topical calcineurin inhibitors [TCI]) in adult participants with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) who are not adequately controlled with or are not advised to use oral cyclosporine A (CsA) for medical reasons. The secondary objective is to investigate the safety of nemolizumab in adult participants with moderate-to-severe AD who are not adequately controlled with or are not advised to use oral CsA for medical reasons. The study will be carried out in up to 70 different locations across Europe.
The Effect of Avocado vs. Usual Diet on Skin Aging
Skin InflammationThis clinical trial aims to assess the effect of providing one avocado per day on skin health in comparison with a control group maintaining their habitual diets. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two equally sized groups. Both groups will be instructed to continue to follow their habitual diet but the intervention group will receive one avocado per day. Participants will be followed for outcomes for a four-month period.
Examination of Whether Host Preconditioning Modifies Short-term Transplant Survival
Atopic DermatitisEczemaUnlike healthy control skin, the skin of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) is frequently colonized by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), putting these patients at increased risk of S. aureus skin infections. In addition, research in the investigator's lab has shown that these patients have fewer protective antimicrobial Staphylococcal species such as Staphylococcal epidermidis (S. epidermidis) known to produce antimicrobial peptides that play a role in protecting the skin from invading pathogens. In this study, the investigator will attempt to decrease S. aureus colonization and increase colonization by protective Staph species. First the investigator will culture the bacteria on subjects' lesional AD skin. The investigator will selectively grow the subject's antimicrobial Staph colonies and place them into a base moisturizer. The moisturizer plus bacteria will be applied to both of the subject's arms. Prior to applying this, though, one arm will first be pre-treated with an antimicrobial regiment of Dial liquid antibacterial soap and alcohol. We will then compare the abundance of antimicrobial Staph species on each subject's arms 24 hours later to determine whether the pre-treatment regimen increased survival of the transplanted antimicrobial Staph species. The investigator expects that the arm pre-treated with the antimicrobial regimen will have more antimicrobial Staph species at this time point.
