Active clinical trials for "Dermatitis"

To collect, preserve, and/or distribute annotated biospecimens and associated medical data to institutionally approved, investigator-directed biomedical research to discover and develop new treatments, diagnostics, and preventative methods for specific and complex conditions.

The aim of the study is to determine the relationship between insulin resistance and disease duration and severity of atopic dermatitis.

This study will examine microbes (e.g., bacteria, fungi, viruses) that live on human skin and how microbes contribute to health and disease. It will analyze healthy human skin and how the these microorganisms might change in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), a skin condition also known as eczema. Healthy volunteers, as well as patients with moderate to severe eczema (AD), between 2 and 40 years of age may be eligible for this study. We also wish to enroll children and adults aged 2-40 who have been diagnosed with inherited immune disorders known as HIES (hyperimmunoglobulin-E syndrome), WAS (Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome), or DOCK8 immunodeficiency because they frequently have skin problems similar to AD. Eligible participants undergo the following tests and procedures: Medical family and medication history Skin examination Blood tests (research blood as well as serum IgE, and complete blood count) Skin samples to analyze microbes. Samples are obtained by the following methods: swabbing the skin with a cotton swab; scraping (scratching) the skin gently with a blade to remove only the outermost skin layers; and, only in adults, biopsy (surgical removal) of a small skin sample less than 1/4-inch (5 mm) in diameter. Nose swabs to analyze microbes. Patients with eczema may have photographs of their skin taken to help monitor the skin rashes. Participants may be contacted periodically for follow-up studies. Patients with atopic dermatitis may have additional skin samples collected to examine changes in the skin bacteria over time and during all of the stages of eczema. In addition, patients who have a flare of their eczema are asked to undergo a skin sample collection as soon as possible.

Currently, patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis are treated with dupilumab if unresponsive to topical treatment. However, not all patients who suffer from atopic dermatitis respond similarly to this treatment. Pattern recognition of immune cells (PRI) is an efficient method to screen patients to allow a more personalized therapy. The main aim of this scientific explorative study is to unravel the changes in peripheral blood immune cell compositions in patients with atopic eczema undergoing dupilumab treatment. This allows the identification of phenotypes of treatment responders and non-responders and possible approaches of treatment modifications for non-responders.

The goal of this study is to look into the patterns of sensitization to figure out how allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), individual susceptibility, and patient characteristics are connected. The joint application of classic statistics and machine learning methods will reveal the relationship between contact dermatitis expressions and several clinical characteristics.

This is a prospective, multicenter, sample collection study using DermTech's non-invasive skin collection kits to evaluate genomic biomarkers and microbiome information from pediatric and adult subjects with atopic dermatitis(AD). Samples collected will be analyzed to detect gene signatures and microbiome populations associated with AD and sub-populations of AD.

The SPINDLE study will examine sleep in infants with atopic dermatitis by serial assessment over the first year of life, in comparison to infants without atopic dermatitis. Sleep will be assessed using electroencephalography, actigraphy, and sleep questionnaires.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about exposure to tralokinumab during pregnancy, as well as atopic dermatitis (AD) during pregnancy. The main question the study aims to answer is whether pregnant people who have been exposed to tralokinumab during pregnancy experience any differences in pregnancy and infant outcomes compared to women with atopic dermatitis who have not been exposed to tralokinumab during pregnancy. Participants are not required to take tralokinumab during the study. Participants will be asked to: Complete 1-3 phone interviews during pregnancy and 1-2 phone interviews after delivery Release medical records for pregnancy and for their child Complete an online survey about their baby's development at 4 months and 12 months of age May be asked to have a study doctor examine their child All information is collected remotely, and no visits to the study site are required.

The goal of this study is to establish a birth cohort that collects prenatal and early life biosamples and environmental samples and rigorously phenotypes young children for food allergy and Atopic Dermatitis (AD) to identify prenatal and early life markers of high risk for food allergy and AD, as well as biological pathways (endotypes) that result in these conditions. Primary Objectives: To study the role and interrelationships of established and novel clinical, environmental, biological, and genetic prenatal and early-life factors in the development of allergic diseases through age 3 years, with an emphasis on atopic dermatitis and food allergy To apply systems biology to identify mechanisms and biomarkers underlying the development of food allergy, atopic dermatitis, and their endotypes To collect, process, and assay or store environmental and biological samples for current and future use in the study of allergic disease development

Prospective longitudinal study to characterize Choronic Hand Eczema (CHE) subtypes and Atopic Dermatitis (AD) with noninvasive molecular and imaging techniques, and assess changes through time and its association with quality of life.
