Active clinical trials for "Dermatitis"

To assess if proactive, 2 times-weekly application of tacrolimus ointment can extend remission time to relapse and reduce the incidence of disease exacerbation (DE) in paediatric patients over a period of 6 months.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of tacrolimus ointment in treating the signs and symptoms of moderate (medium level of seriousness) to severe (very serious, life threatening) atopic dermatitis (an intensely pruritic [itching], chronic [lasting a long time], inflammatory [pain and swelling], immunologically based skin disease with a genetic predisposition [latent susceptibility to disease at the genetic level]) in pediatric participants.

To evaluate the effectiveness of preventing Grade II or greater radiation dermatitis induced by adjuvant radiation therapy in women with breast cancer.

This is a Phase II, multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in male and female subjects, aged ≥ 12 years with mild/moderate atopic dermatitis and at least moderate pruritus. All subjects will receive BID topical applications of CT327 ointment or vehicle for up to 4 weeks. At baseline, the subjects must have atopic dermatitis, as defined by the Hanifin and Rajka criteria, which involves a minimum of 5% and a maximum of 20% body surface area, an Investigator Global Assessment Score of 2 or 3 (mild or moderate) and pruritus visual analogue scale scores of ≥ 40mm (at least moderate). All subjects will attend a screening visit not more than 21 days prior to Day 1. Subjects will be required to return to the clinic on Days 1 (baseline visit), 4, 11, 18 and 29 (end of treatment visit). All subjects will be asked to attend for a follow-up visit 14 (±3) days after the last dose of study medication.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by exacerbations and remission of intensely pruritic lesions of variable location. AD may be acute (short-term and severe) with predominantly redness, vesicles and oozing, or it may be chronic (long-term) with scaling, skin thickening, altered pigmentation and exaggerated surface markings. The condition affects mainly the creases of the elbows and knees, and the face and neck, although it can affect any part of the body. The severity of AD is variable, ranging from localized mild scaling to generalized involvement of the whole body. Itching is the predominant symptom, which can induce a vicious cycle of scratching, leading to skin damage. There is a tendency to lifelong dry sensitive skin. Skin of AD is often colonized by Staphylococcus aureus contributing to perpetuating cutaneous inflammation. AD treatment is based on skin hydration, identification and elimination of flare factors, and pharmacologic therapy. Biofunctional textiles are emerging as new and complementary tools . Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide with in vitro anti-microbial activity and regenerating properties. The investigators aim to evaluate the effect of a textile coated with chitosan in AD treatment as well as its impact on systemic inflammation and skin microbiome. The investigators hypothesize the use of biofunctional textile coated with chitosan will improve severity of AD , quality of life and diminish skin colonization with Staphylococcus aureus and some skin moulds, namely Malassezia.

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate microbial density in eczematous lesions during two weeks of twice daily therapy with the investigational product, DPK-060 1% ointment, compared with placebo in patients with atopic dermatitis. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled part of the study was preceded with an open-label investigation in a small group of patients (n=5) treated with two applications of DPK-060 1% ointment per day for four days to assess safety, local tolerability and systemic absorption of DPK-060. The secondary objectives were to evaluate severity of eczema and pruritus, to assess the tolerability and safety of the treatment and to assess the degree of systemic absorption of DPK-060 in blood on Day 7 and Day 21 in a sub-set of 10 patients.

Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety of MEDI4212.

The primary objective was to assess the clinical efficacy of repeated subcutaneous (SC) doses of Dupilumab in adult participants with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether proactive use of 0.1% tacrolimus ointment once or twice weekly can keep adult facial SD in remission and reduce the incidence of exacerbation.

This study will compare the safety and efficacy of Oral DS107 (2 g) to placebo in patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Oral DS107 (2 g) will be orally administered for 8 weeks, and will be compared against placebo. This study will enroll approximately 100 adult patients.
