Active clinical trials for "Dermatitis, Atopic"

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

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.

Efficacy and Safety of DSXS (Taro Pharmaceuticals, U.S.A., Inc.) in Patients with Moderate to Severe Atopic Dermatitis

To assess the efficacy and safety of MEDI9929 in adult subjects with Atopic Dermatitis

The purpose of this study is to Compare efficacy of 0.1% triamcinolone containing wet wrap as an ointment or as a cream formulation in patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis The relative patient/subject acceptance and adherence will also be compared between the two wet wrap types

The purpose of this study is to determine whether QAW039 is safe and has beneficial effects in people who have moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD).

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 adult participants.

This study will compare the safety and efficacy of three test article foams (PDI-192 0.1% Foam, PDI-192 0.15% Foam, and Vehicle Foam) such that a final commercial product may be selected for future development.
