Active clinical trials for "Dermatitis"

To investigate the comparative efficacy of Ciclosporine A and Prednisolone in adult patients with severe atopic dermatitis.

An open-label, multicenter study, of long term management to evaluate effectiveness, tolerability and safety of pimecrolimus cream 1% in pediatric patients with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in a daily practice

The purpose of this study is to determine if Raptiva will have beneficial effects in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.

An evaluation of the safety and efficacy of the calcineurin inhibitor, pimecrolimus cream 1%, in adult patients with perioral dermatitis. This study is not enrolling patients in the United States.

To compare the efficacy and safety of two different dose combinations of LEO19123 (calcipotriol and LEO80122) with LEO19123 cream vehicle for 3 weeks in the treatment of patients with atopic dermatitis

Topical steroid use may lead to skin deterioration and spider veins. This study will examine long-term management of atopic dermatitis (AD) over 12 months with pimecrolimus cream 1% and its effect on skin reconstitution of steroid-damaged skin and disease control.

This study is not being conducted in the United States. Patients who are intolerant of topical corticosteroids (TCS) have either experienced an adverse event resulting from the use of TCS, or require unacceptable levels of exposure to TCS in order to control their AD. This is of particular concern for patients with recurrent flares on delicate skin areas such as the head and neck. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether pimecrolimus cream 1%, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, is efficacious in treating mild to moderate head and neck AD in patients who are intolerant of, or dependent on topical corticosteroids.

The Early Prevention of Asthma in Atopic Children (EPAAC™). 24 months study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of levocetirizine (LCTZ) in preventing the onset of asthma in 12 to 24 months old children.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin disease characterised by xerosis, pruritus and erythematous plaques. It is common in children (10 to 20%) with an increasing prevalence (multiplied by 2 in 20 years) and begins to develop at 3 months of age. Half of all atopic dermatitis cases disappear by the age of 5, but 10 to 15% of cases persist into adulthood (i.e. about 3.5% of the French adult population). Conventional treatments consist of emollient creams, topical corticosteroid, topical immunomodulators (topical calcineurin inhibitor: tacrolimus) or systemic cyclosporine. However, a proportion of patients (10%) do not respond sufficiently to this therapeutic arsenal. Recent therapies using monoclonal antibodies (biotherapies) are available (DUPILUMAB -anti Interleukin-4 (IL4) antibody and soon TRALOKINUMAB-anti Interleukin-L13 (IL13) antibody). Conjunctivitis is an adverse event reported in patients treated with dupilumab and tralokinumab in clinical trials. Given that baseline ophthalmic comorbidities affect approximately 20% of AD patients, it is crucial to include an evaluation in future prospective real-life longitudinal studies to assess the true incidence of biologic-induced ophthalmic adverse events. No such study is currently available for Tralokinumab. The French group GREAT (GROUPE DE RECHERCHE SUR L'ECZEMA ATOPIQUE) has recently conducted a study on ocular adverse events of dupilumab (DUPI-ŒIL study, I. COSTEDOAT, M. WALLAERT et al, submitted) which included 180 patients followed for at least 4 months. The results show that the majority of dupilumab-induced conjunctivitis is de novo (frequency 18%). Conjunctivitis-type adverse events were also reported at a frequency of 3.0% to 11.0% in the ECZTRA pivotal studies with Tralokinumab. However, the ophthalmological impact of IL13 inhibition remains partially unknown. Further characterisation of ophthalmological adverse events in patients treated with Tralokinumab in real life is needed to provide information for future recommendations (including prioritisation of indications for systemic therapy) and to improve compliance. The primary objective of the TRALO-OEIL study is to determine the frequency of occurrence of ophthalmologic adverse events with TRALOKINUMAB.

This clinical trial serves to look at the effectiveness of SWRB for the treatment of mild to moderate Atopic Dermatitis in patients below the age of 18. Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a common condition seen in dermatology, paediatric and primary care clinics in Malaysia. AD poses a significant biopsychosocial burden among sufferers and their families. Current management patterns of AD sufferers in South-east Asia mainly involve use of topical moisturizers and topical corticosteroids. Rice bran and products derived from it have been studied regarding their anti-oxidant, nutritional, cholesterol lowering and health promoting properties. However, there are very few studies that have focused on the benefits of SWRB when used topically. SWRB is cost-effective and easily available, while being an under-utilised product. The investigators wanted to study its effectiveness in controlling the signs and symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis when used as a cleanser and topical paste (emollient) as very little is known on this subject. The investigators wish to study participants below 18 years of age with mild and moderate Atopic Dermatitis. The participants will be followed up for four to six (4 - 6) weeks and the clinical features tabulated. This study does not involve any enteral or parenteral administration of SWRB. Neither does it involve any invasive procedures.
