Active clinical trials for "Erythema"

This study will be a single center, Phase 2, open-label trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 200mg CC-11050 administered twice daily taken with food for patients with moderate to severe ENL. The study will be performed in two steps: 1) to evaluate immediate effect in safety and efficacy of drug in 10 males with new or new recurrent episode ENL and, if found to be safe and effective by the DSMB and 2) if allowed by the DSMB, and approved by relevant study stakeholders, an additional 40 ENL patients will be enrolled for up to 52 weeks of treatment. A safety analysis will be conducted on all patients who have received at least one dose of study drug, and will include the frequency of all adverse events and laboratory abnormalities as well as frequency of dose interruptions, dose reductions and treatment discontinuation.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of 7-day versus 14-day doxycycline treatment in patients with multiple erythema migrans.

This study is recruiting patients with chronic, treatment resistant erythema multiforme (EM), which is a disease that can affect the skin and mucous membranes (mucocutaneous). EM often impacts quality of life with pain, anorexia, hospitalization, and related long-term issues. While there are medications used to treat EM, no single therapeutic agent has been consistently effective for long-term management of disease. Apremilast (trade name: Otezla) is approved to treat Bechet's Disease, a different but similar mucocutaneous disease. In this study, eligible patients will receive apremilast for 6 months of treatment so we can evaluate if there is a difference in pain and the number of EM flares compared to prior to treatment with apremilast.

Erythema Nodosum Leprosum (ENL) is a painful, debilitating complication of leprosy. Patients often require high doses of corticosteroids for prolonged periods. Thalidomide is expensive and not available in most countries. The use of corticosteroids for long periods is associated with adverse effects and mortality. It is a priority to identify alternative agents to treat ENL. Methotrexate (MTX) is a cheap, widely used medication which has been reported to be effective in ENL resistant to steroids and thalidomide.

There are currently no effective treatments for lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP) and erythema dyschromicum perstans (EDP). Tranexamic acid, which may downregulate pigmentation through a reduction in plasmin, has been shown to decrease pigmentation in patients with melasma, another pigmentary disorder. Given that LPP, EDP, and melasma are all disorders of pigmentation with dermal involvement, it is possible that tranexamic acid can also reduce pigmentation in LPP and EDP as well.

This is a multi-center, double-masked, randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group, efficacy and safety study that will enroll 386 participants at up to six clinical sites. Participants with ocular redness will be randomized to receive either brimonidine tartrate ophthalmic solution 0.025%, preservative-free formulation, or Lumify® (brimonidine tartrate ophthalmic solution 0.025%). Participants will be treated with study drug for approximately 4 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of different amoxicilline treatment regimens in patients with erythema migrans.

This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab works in treating patients with stage IV inflammatory breast cancer or triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or has come back (recurrent), and who have achieved clinical response or stable disease to prior chemotherapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without panitumumab work in treating patients with invasive triple negative breast cancer. Drugs used in the chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping the them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as panitumumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without panitumumab before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.

The purpose of this study is to test whether the reduction of the sense of discomfort and redness and swelling of the skin surrounding the wound of patients by use of the novel electrolyzed water spray will relieve the inflammation of the skin.
