Active clinical trials for "Dermatitis"

GSK2894512 is a novel anti-inflammatory agent that is currently under development for the topical treatment of atopic dermatitis and chronic plaque psoriasis. This study will be a Phase I, single-center, randomized, partial-blinded (evaluator blinded) study which consists of two parts (Part 1 and 2). Part 1 of this study will assess skin irritation following a single application of GSK2894512 cream at 2 concentrations (e.g. 0.5% and 1%) and placebo by simple-patch test and photo-patch test under semi-occlusive conditions in 20 healthy Japanese volunteers. Part 2 of this study will assess skin irritation following repeat application at 0.5% and 1% of GSK2894512 cream and placebo for 7 days under non-occlusive condition in 6 healthy Japanese volunteers. The study will have Screening visit which will occur within 30 days from the Day 1 visit of each part. Eligible subjects will be able to participate either of Part 1 or Part 2. Subjects will visit the site on Day -1, and hospitalized until the end of all assessments on Day 4 (Part 1) or Day 7 (Part 2). Subjects will re-visit the site on Day 8 (Part 1) or Day 15 (Part 2) for follow-up assessments. This study will be the first to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of GSK2894512 cream after single and repeat application in Japanese subjects. Results from this study will enable further clinical investigation in the Japanese population.

The objective of this 1 week trial is to evaluate the efficacy of an over-the-counter (OTC) 1% colloidal oatmeal skin protectant cream in adults and children with mild to moderate AD.

The purpose of this study is to determine if sending text messages with treatment reminders and facts regarding atopic dermatitis (AD) to caretakers of children with AD will have a positive effect on the disease severity.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of AN2728 Topical Ointment, 2% in children, adolescents, and adults (ages 2 years and older) with atopic dermatitis.

This first-in-human (FIH) study is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, ascending dose study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of XmAb7195 in adult healthy volunteers and in adult subjects with elevated IgE levels.

A two part, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study to investigate the effects of topical doses of SB705498 in healthy volunteers.

Sleep disturbance is a common complaint among patients with atopic dermatitis(AD). Melatonin may aid sleep and also has anti-inflammatory properties, and has been suggested in managing sleep disturbance in AD patients. However, there has been no large randomized controlled trials. Hence the objective of this double-blind randomized controlled study is to determine whether supplementing melatonin is effective in improving sleep problems in children with AD.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic disease associated with intense itching, which affects most aspects of everyday life in the majority of patients. Acute inflammation and extensor/facial involvement is common in infants, whereas chronic inflammation increases in prevalence with age, as do localization to flexures. AD has a complex background characterized by immune activation, increased epidermal thickness in chronic diseased skin, and defective barrier function. In normal, healthy skin, the outer layer of the epidermis, the stratum corneum is made up flattened dead cells called corneocytes held together by a mixture of lipids and proteins. The stratum corneum and, in particular, the lipid layer are vital in providing a natural barrier function that locks water inside the skin and keeps allergens and irritants out. In people with AD, the barrier function is defective, which leads to dry skin. As the skin dries out, it cracks allowing allergens and irritants to penetrate. Mild AD can be controlled with emollients and topical medications. However, moderate to severe AD is extremely difficult to control and requires systemic treatment that is often unsatisfactory due to impracticality and lack of effectiveness. Only three therapeutic options exist for moderate to severe AD, including: 1) oral steroids 2) cyclosporine A (CsA), that is not widely used in the US as it is not FDA approved for AD and 3) ultraviolet phototherapy. Oral steroids and CsA treatments have major side effects and UV radiation therapy is highly inconvenient for patients. Several biologic medications, such as TNF-alpha inhibitors, are effective, convenient, and relatively safe therapies for psoriasis, but have thus far not shown efficacy in AD. Ustekinumab is a unique biologic medication that may specifically target AD. The investigators study will determine whether there is a reversal of the skin thickness and the immune pathways involved in the disease during treatment with Ustekinumab and what specific immune cells are involved. The investigators are also interested to understand how the clinical reversal of the disease will correlate with tissue reversal of the disease.

The dermatitis caused by the substances which come in contact with the skin is known as contact dermatitis. When such a reaction is caused by the agents suspended in the air, it is called air-borne contact dermatitis (ABCD). Parthenium hysterophorus at present is the commonest cause of ABCD in India though in some cases other plants have also been found to cause ABCD. Parthenium dermatitis is one of the major health problems in dermatology in our country. Though it has very little mortality, the disease normally continues to persist with variable remissions and relapses causing great distress and morbidity. Corticosteroids, topical and systemic have been the mainstay of the treatment so far. Therefore, the patients with ABCD who have to take corticosteroids for long periods of time tend to develop severe and sometimes irreversible side effects of the therapy. Azathioprine is an immunosuppressive drug which acts by inhibiting the T lymphocytes. In our previous studies we have been able to induce remissions in these patients with azathioprine used as daily as well as monthly bolus dose, without having to use systemic corticosteroids. The side effect with azathioprine in these studies were almost absent. We have therefore planned to study the therapeutic efficacy of azathioprine weekly pulse doses versus daily azathioprine in achieving remissions in patients having Parthenium dermatitis and to monitor the side effects of both the regimens.
