Active clinical trials for "Dermatitis"

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infection is perceived not only as a common secondary complication of atopic dermatitis (AD), but also as a culprit in the worsening of this condition. In addition, the recent development of community acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) has presented a new challenge to our management of AD, both in treatment of acute infections and maintenance therapy. The investigators would like to perform a randomized investigator-blinded placebo-controlled study of children aged 6 months to 17 years with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis with clinical signs of secondary bacterial infection to study: 1) the prevalence of CA-MRSA in our patient population; 2) the relationship of sensitivity of the S. aureus organism cultured from the infected lesion(s) to clinical response to oral cephalexin therapy and severity of the AD; and 3) whether concurrent treatment of S. aureus infection initially with nasal mupirocin ointment and sodium hypochlorite (bleach) baths can result in long-term S. aureus eradication and clinical stability.

Protocol Title: Immunopharmacological effects of Rituximab in atopic dermatitis Study Phase: Investigator driven study Study Design: Open-label, single center. Primary Study Objective: To determine the efficacy, safety and immunopharmacological effects of Rituximab (anti-CD20) administered as a 1000mg intravenous infusion on days 1 and 15 to patients with atopic dermatitis. Secondary Study Objective: To investigate key immunological parameters involved in the pathology of this common skin disease to interpret the clinical findings. Number of Patients: 6 Study Population: Male and female patients, at least 18 years of age with atopic dermatitis, active inflammation, a severity score of 6-9 according to Langeland and Rajika. Treatment Group: Rituximab will be administered as 1000 mg infusion intravenously at day 1 and 15, followed by a 24-week follow-up period. Visit Schedule: Screening Visit (within 28 days prior to Visit 1) Treatment visits (Visits days 1, 3, 8, 15, 17) Follow-up Visits (Visits weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24) Visit 11/Early Termination Visit (if applicable) Visit 11 will serve as the Early Termination Visit for any patient who withdraws from the study between Visit 1 and 10. Efficacy Parameters: Clinical parameters: EASI Patient Assessment of Pruritus / Pruritus score Physician Global Assessment (PGA) Photography Laboratory analysis: Differential blood count Total IgE, specific IgE (aeroallergen panel) Immunophenotyping of PBMC Lymphocyte proliferation following pan-T stimulation with PHA Cytokine release from blood T cells following pan-T stimulation with PHA Skin tests Histopathology of skin biopsies Safety Parameters: Physical examinations; vital signs; selected blood chemistry, including liver function tests, creatinine; white blood cell count (WBC; including total lymphocyte count); platelets, lymphocyte subset analysis; complement, immunoglobulins (IgA, IgM, IgG, IgE), monitoring for infections; monitoring for concomitant therapies; monitoring for adverse events.

The study was designed to test the hypothesis whether a standardized, time-and score-oriented treatment following a strict evidence based algorithm is equally effective to a standard treatment regimen for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Study Type: Mono-centre study, patients are blinded, physicians are randomized to either treat study- or controll group Eligible are patients age 2 years or older with SCORAD >= 20 Duration: 12 Months, study visits every 4 weeks. Primary endpoint is Difference between Baseline SCORAD and mean SCORAD under treatment. Secundary endpoints are quality of life, safety and economic burden in both treatment groups.

The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy and safety of AzA 15% Gel in the treatment of mild to moderate perioral dermatitis.

The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 611 in chinese adults with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.

A single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple dose platform trial.

This is an up to 22-week clinical study in adult participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD). The purpose of the study is to test a new tablet (LEO 152020) to see if it works to treat AD and what the side effects are when compared with a placebo tablet with no medical ingredient. During the study, there will be a 16-week treatment period during which the participants will be asked to take the tablets. The participants will regularly visit the clinic for tests and the study doctor will evaluate their AD. The participants will also be asked to answer questions about their AD symptoms, itch, sleep, and quality of life.

Participants who meet eligibility criteria will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive a twice daily oral LNK01001 dose A or LNK01001 dose B or matching placebo for 12 weeks.

This is a phase 1 and 2 study to assess the safety and efficacy of PAC-14028 cream in children with atopic 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.
