Active clinical trials for "Dermatitis"

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy results in terms of percentage improvement of the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) as well as on the scale Patient Global Assessment (PGA) throughout the follow-up of patients undergoing subjected to systemic and/or biological treatments in conditions of usual clinical practice. Likewise, collect safety data, recording adverse events related to medication.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin condition that may cause a rash and itching due to inflammation of the skin. Therapies spread over the skin may not be enough to control the AD in trial participants who require systemic anti-inflammatory treatment. This study will assess the real-world effectiveness of upadacitinib on early and sustained response along adolescent and adult participants with AD. This study also aims to understand upadacitinib utilization patterns in real-world clinical practice. Upadacitinib (RINVOQ) is approved in the EU for the treatment of moderate to severe AD in adults and adolescents 12 years and older who are candidates for systemic therapy. Approximately 772 adolescent and adult participants with AD will be enrolled at up to 200 sites in Germany. Participants will receive oral upadacitinib tablets as prescribed by the physician prior to enrolling in this study in accordance with the terms of the local marketing authorization and professional and reimbursement guidelines with regards to dose, population, and indication. The overall duration of the study is approximately 2 years. Participants will attend regular visits per routine clinical practice. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects, and questionnaires.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and effects of Abrocitinib in the real-life clinical setting given for the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis, or AD, is a long-lasting disease that causes inflammation, redness, and irritation of the skin. This study is seeking participant who are older than 18 years with moderate-to-severe chronic AD. Participants must have no underlying medical conditions that prevent them from taking Abrocitinib. All participants in this study will receive Abrocitinib as a tablet once daily. They can take Abrocitinib and use medicated topical treatment for AD at the same time. We will examine the experiences of patients receiving the study medicine. This will help us determine if the study medicine is safe and helps in treating AD. Participants will take part in this study for 24 months. During this time, they will visit the study clinic about 5 times (about 1 time every 4 to 6 months).

In order to further improve the diagnosis and treatment level of type 2 inflammatory skin diseases, the National Clinical Center for Skin and Immune Diseases established a standardized diagnosis and treatment center for type 2 inflammatory skin diseases to systematically and effectively understand the current treatment status of patients with type 2 inflammatory skin diseases, as well as the efficacy and safety of various treatment methods during practices, so as to further improve the diagnosis and treatment level of type 2 inflammatory skin diseases and help patients with type 2 inflammatory skin diseases.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) affects over 9 million children in the U.S. and often heralds the development of asthma, food allergy, skin infections and neurodevelopmental disorders. Recent advances identify skin barrier dysfunction to be the key initiator of AD and possibly allergic sensitization. Our central hypothesis is that daily emollient use from birth can prevent the development of AD in a community setting and into newborns unselected for risk. The results of a community-based clinical trial utilizing a pragmatic trial design will be immediately applicable to the population at large and will establish a new standard of care for all newborns.

The primary objective is of the PreventADALL study is to test if primary prevention of allergic diseases is possible by simple and low cost strategies, and secondary to asses the impact of xenobiotic exposure and microbiota in and on the body and the environment on allergic disease development. The secondary objective is an exploratory focus to investigate early life risk factors for development of non-communicable diseases, including asthma and allergic diseases as well as for diseases that may share common risk factors, including cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes. Design: A multi-national population-based prospective birth cohort with a factorial designed randomized controlled intervention trial of two clinical interventions; skin care 0-9 months and early food introduction by 3-4 months, thereafter observation only. Recruitment in three cities (Oslo, Ostfold and Stockholm) of approximately 2500 mother-child pairs is done in two steps; first pregnant women are recruited and enrolled at the 18-weeks ultrasound investigation (n=approximately 2700) and thereafter their new-born babies are included. Randomization into four groups is done by the postal code or "township" to ensure all four intervention-groups within each "township". Visits for biological and environmental sampling, observations and investigations will be at the relevant pediatric departments (at 3-6-12-24-36 months of age) and through childhood into adulthood thereafter, provided sufficient funding.

Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis are two skin diseases often associated with bacterial infections and inflammation. Studies indicate that skin cells from these patients may have some changes that make these patients more susceptible to bacterial infections. Inflammatory environment may have an effect on the function of skin cells. The purpose of this study is to learn more about skin cells (keratinocytes and fibroblasts) and how they regulate skin barrier function. To study this we need to establish skin cells that can be grown in the laboratory. We will use small skin biopsies from patients with atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and healthy people as a source of these cells. Since these skin cells have a limited lifetime when grown in laboratory as part of the project we would like to modify them, which allows them to grow for long time in the research laboratory. Some of the collected skin biopsies and isolated skin cells will be used to examine what gene products they make.

The purpose of this non-interventional observational study is to learn about the safety and effects of the medicinal product (called Abrocitinib) for the potential treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD). AD is a long-lasting disease that causes redness and irritation of the skin. This non-interventional study is seeking participants who is eligible for Abrocitinib treatment according to the summary of product characteristics (SmPC): Are aged at least 18 years old Have a confirmed diagnosis of AD by a skin doctor Decide to start treatment with Abrocitinib as part of routine clinical practice Have a personally signed and dated informed consent document. This is used to indicate that the patient has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study and data privacy aspects Participants will take the medicinal product as prescribed in the real-world setting. We will examine the experiences of people receiving Abrocitinib. This will help us determine if the medicinal product is effective and safe. Participants will take part in this study for 3 months. During this time, participants will be followed up from the date of their first Abrocitinib prescription for 12 months. During this non-interventional study, some participants may switch to other therapies after their initial Abrocitinib therapy. We will follow these participants further when they switch therapy to monitor their experiences. Participant documentation is expected quarterly as per standard clinical practice.

The prevalence of common mental disorders is high in patients with chronic inflammatory physical diseases(e.g., autoimmune or infectious diseases). The traditional explanatory causation model in which physical symptoms and related disability drive mental health problems is now called into question, and evidence has accumulated supporting more complex interactions whereby psychiatric disorders can both result from and contribute to the progression of physical diseases. In the present project, the investigators will focus on comorbidity of depression and anxiety symptoms or syndromes with chronic inflammatory skin diseases (psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa and atopic dermatitis) or chronic infectious diseases (chronic HBV and HIV infection). The study is aimed to clarify the mechanisms underlying the high frequency of those comorbidities. It will overcome the main limitations of previous investigations and use innovative statistical tools to model complex interrelationships and causal links among the assessed variables. The identification of key variables driving the causal chain of determinants of poor global health and quality of life may impact treatment outcome and models of care.
