Active clinical trials for "Dermatitis, Atopic"

The primary objective of this protocol is to acquire pilot data for a larger study to test the following hypothesis: Treatment of the hands of patients with chronic hand dermatitis/atopic dermatitis with CLn BodyWash, a novel gel wash cleanser currently marketed as a cosmetic product containing a dilute concentration of less than 0.01% sodium hypochlorite and less than 0.005% concentration as it is lathered, will result in a statistically significant reduction in the number of skin fauna present on the hands of these patients compared to treatment of such patients with traditional wash used clinically such as Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether PR022 Topical Gels are safe and effective treatments for mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis (AD).

Rationale/hypothesis: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory skin disease, occurring most frequently in children. Currently, topically applied corticosteroids are used as a standard anti-inflammatory treatment. When a corticosteroid with a high potency is used for a long period of time, adverse effects like skin atrophy and systemic effects may occur, especially in children. In addition, corticophobia among patients is an issue that warrants alternatives for the treatment of AD in children. An alternative treatment is the topical application of coal tar, which is known to be an effective and safe treatment for AD for ages, and is used in our department for decennia. Although there is convincing evidence in the literature on the safety of coal tar, evidence in the literature on the efficacy of coal tar in the treatment of AD is lacking, especially in children. Objective: To evaluate efficacy of topical treatment with coal tar compared to topical treatment with corticosteroids in children aged 1 to <16 years with moderate to severe AD Study design: investigator-initiated, parallel-group randomized controlled pilot study Study population: Children aged 1 to <16 years with moderate-severe AD Intervention: Patients will be randomized in two groups: (1) topical treatment with coal tar or (2) topical treatment with moderate potency corticosteroids for a treatment duration of 4 weeks. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary outcome is the percentage change in EASI score at week 2.

Topical corticosteroids are largely used in dermatology. The major problem related to their use is that the same mechanisms underlying their therapeutic effects (antiinflammatory and antiproliferative) may lead to adverse events. Conditions sensitive to corticosteroids require formulations with mild to moderate potency while high-potency corticosteroids era required in less responsive conditions. The aim of the present study is to compare the safety and efficacy of prednisolone acetate 0.5% cream (mild-potency non-fluoridated corticosteroid) versus betamethasone valerate 0.1% cream (high-potency fluoridated corticosteroid) in the treatment of mild to moderate cortisosensitive dermatosis (atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis). The study hypothesis is that 0.5% prednisolone cream will be as effective as 0.1% betamethasone cream and will be an alternative option to treat corticosensitive dermatosis in body areas where the use of fluoridated corticosteroids is contraindicated, such as the face.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifactorial, chronic inflammatory skin disorder that results in areas of dry, itchy skin. AD affects up to 20% of children in Western societies and represents a prevalent, burdensome, and psychologically important pediatric concern. It often appears in infancy and may persist into adolescence and adulthood. This complex disease is typified by defective skin barrier function with activation of abnormal immunological and inflammatory pathways upon exposure to ubiquitous environmental allergens. It often appears in infancy and may persist into adolescence and adulthood. This complex disease is typified by defective skin barrier function with activation of abnormal immunological and inflammatory pathways upon exposure to ubiquitous environmental allergens. This complex disease is typified by defective skin barrier function with activation of abnormal immunological and inflammatory pathways upon exposure to ubiquitous environmental allergens. This phenomenon may be primarily related to mutations in important barrier proteins, in the same fashion as filaggrin in the atopic skin, or may be secondary, reflecting the intestinal mucosal damage caused by local hypersensitivity reactions to food antigens or to microbial components as in inflammatory bowel disease. Conventional therapy for AD consists of elimination of exacerbating factors, moisturizers to maintain skin hydration, antihistamines to alleviate pruritus, topically applied corticosteroids, or topical calcineurin inhibitors to control inflammation. Severe forms of atopic dermatitis may need systemic corticosteroids, oral cyclosporine, and/or phototherapy. Probiotics have been suggested as a novel treatment approach for atopic dermatitis. Specific probiotics have been shown to normalize intestinal permeability, to counteract intestinal immune dysfunction and to normalize gut dysbiosis. Hence, their clinical benefit may reside in the control of gut inflammation induced by various intraluminal antigens and enhancement of adaptive and especially innate immune responses. Indeed, above and beyond balancing the gut microecology and promoting host immune defences, specific probiotics might further aid in controlling the microbial colonization of the skin, thereby reducing proneness to secondary infections which typically cause sustained symptoms. However, there are conflicting evidence on the utility of selected probiotic strains for atopic dermatitis, and major problems are due to dose and viability of strain used, duration of treatment, study population. The aim of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the efficacy of the most studied probiotic in the pediatric allergy field - Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) - in children affected by atopic dermatitis.

This clinical trial study is two-stage, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FURESTEM-AD Inj. for moderate to severe chronic atopic dermatitis.

This comparative study analyzes the efficacy and safety of treatment of children from 6 years of age suffering from moderate to severe atopic dermatitis using an inhibitor of IL4, IL13 and classical immunosuppressants.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of Dupilumab in food allergic patients with moderate to severe Atopic Dermatitis (AD). Included patients participated in the BioDay Registry.

Chronic skin disease lead to skin damage and disfiguring to the patient skin. Sometimes, achieving normal skin is not possible by the normal traditional treatment, this study is focusing on use of ACE CSD formula which is mixture of natural peptides and herbs. the main aim is to restore the normal skin appearance for the patient and control the episodes of flare.

The purpose of this study is to document the timing of improvement in atopic dermatitis symptoms and severity following the application of crisaborole ointment 2% in patients 2 years or older with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis. Crisaborole ointment 2% will be applied topically twice daily for four weeks and progress will be assessed by photography and patient-reports.
