Active clinical trials for "Dermatitis"

Background: Increase in skin colonization of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in atopic dermatitis patients (AD) resulted from the reduction of cathelicidin production in these patients plays the important role in pathogenesis of this disease. Recently in vivo study has showed that vitamin D can stimulate cathelicidin production. Oral supplement of vitamin D might be beneficial in atopic dermatitis. Objective: To determine the effect of oral vitamin D supplement on clinical impact including skin colonization of S. aureus in atopic dermatitis patients.

Probiotics are suggested to have beneficial effects in atopic dermatitis (AD) treatment and prevention but their precise role is not yet clear. The aim of this randomized double blinded active treatment vs placebo study was to evaluate clinical efficacy of intake of a combination of two probiotics (Lactobacillus salivarius LS01 and Bifidobacterium breve BR03) for the treatment of adult AD patients. The rationale for the use of probiotics in the treatment of atopic dermatitis would be due to some experimental hypotheses: The use of these microbial agents at an early age seems to play an important role in inducing immunity T type 1 (Th1) and inhibit the development of a Th2 response IgE mediated the normal intestinal flora (including probiotics) would play an important role in inducing immunological tolerance the hygiene hypothesis that the reduced bacterial environment would favour a type 2 response T and the development of allergic diseases

The study is divided in 3 parts, starting with the safety assessment of BPR277 ointment in Healthy volunteers (Part 1). If found to be well tolerated in Part 1, BPR277 ointment will be assessed in two different patients groups to evaluate safety and efficacy in atopic dermatitis (Part 2) and in Netherton syndrome (Part 3).

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of short-term treatment with fluocinonide cream 0.1% (Vanos®) in the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD).

To assess the effect and safety of sublingual Dermatophagoides Farinae Drops in adult patients with atopic dermatitis and allergic sensitization to house dust mites.240 adults age 18 to 60 years with atopic dermatitis(Objective Scoring Atopic Dermatitis, Objective SCORAD from 10 to 40) are going to be enrolled in a randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled study.Sublingual Dermatophagoides Farinae Drops or placebo is given for 9 months in addition to standard therapy.SCORAD,average anesis interval,rescue medicine and DLQI will be recorded.

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Medihoney and Hydrophor on radiation dermatitis reactions in a group of women undergoing radiation therapy for breast cancer. It is hoped that the outcome of this pilot study will provide evidence supporting the use of Medihoney in preventing and treating radiation dermatitis as well as sufficient preliminary data to expand this study to larger, federally funded research (R01) looking at the beneficial aspects of Medihoney across a spectrum of radiation dermatitis and mucositis in several disease settings.

WBI-1001 is a synthetic,new, non-steroid, small molecule being developed as a candidate drug for the topical, cream treatment of inflammatory skin diseases. As such, it affects T-cells through inhibition of T-cell activities including their infiltration processes, and it shows direct anti-inflammatory manifestation in the mouse edema model. This was a 28 day study (plus one follow-up week) on patients with Atopic Dermatitis, and 36 patients were treated randomly, BID with either 0.5%, 1.0% or placebo. Blood samples were taken weekly for PK analysis.

Atopic Dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affect 10 to 15% of children and 2 to 10% of adults. AD is characterised by an itchy skin eruption and may cover large parts of the body. The exact cause is unknown but is thought to be an interplay between genetic and and environmental factors. The objective of this study is to determine whether SRD441 ointment is a safe and effective therapy for mild to moderate Atopic Dermatitis.

In this study it will be investigated if patients with atopic dermatitis responding to EPOGAM treatment, show a significant increase of dihomo-gamma-linolic acid in the blood.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of apremilast in patients with recalcitrant atopic or contact dermatitis.
