Filter by:The skin is innervated by a network of nociceptive sensory neurons (nociceptors) whose primary function is the transmission of pain and pruritus signals to the central nervous system. Their role in atopic dermatitis (AD), characterized by an exacerbated type 2 immune response, is only partially understood. Nevertheless, large amounts of neuropeptides, including substance P (SP), are found in the serum of patients, their level being correlated with the clinical severity of AD. Mast cells (MC) are part of the cells of the immune system residing in the skin. MCs have neuro-receptors of the Mas-related G protein-coupled receptors family (MRGPR) and in particular MRGPRX2 (the receptor for cationic molecules [including SP] for MCs) through which they could communicate in a privileged way. with the nociceptors. Preliminary data obtained in mice show that its mouse orthologue "MrgprB2" is absolutely necessary for the development of type 2 immunity and the pathological characteristics of a preclinical "DA-like" model (manuscript in preparation). The investigators therefore hypothesize that the activation of MCs expressing MRGPRX2 by nociceptors producing SP plays a key role in the development of type 2 inflammation in AD in humans.
Birth cohort study with recruitment during pregnancy to determine prenatal and perinatal conditions, as well as genetic and epigenetic factors, that participate in the early setting of immune responses, and the role of these in the later determination of the risk of allergic diseases, asthma, and metabolic conditions in the offspring.
This pilot study will evaluate new methods for the collection, storage, shipment, and RNA extraction of skin tape specimens from children with atopic dermatitis (AD) that will facilitate the multi-center SunBeam Birth Cohort study. Additionally, this pilot study will test new methods for the generation of whole transcriptome sequencing data from skin tape RNA and whether these data reflect the transcriptional state of the skin in health and disease.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study which is 52 weeks in duration. The study is designed to confirm the safety and efficacy of lebrikizumab as monotherapy for treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis utilizing a 16-week induction treatment period and a 36-week long-term maintenance treatment period.
The purpose of this study is to examine scratching behavior and identify brain areas responsible for stress-induced spontaneous scratching in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD).
This proposed study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-arm parallel, multicenter phase II study, designed to explore the efficacy and safety of SHR0302 treatment for patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. The study will be conducted over a 12-week treatment period. Two active doses of SHR0302 will be compared to placebo and improvement in atopic dermatitis will be assessed using the Investigator's Global Score (IGA)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether etrasimod is a safe and effective treatment for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study which is 52 weeks in duration. The study is designed to confirm the safety and efficacy of lebrikizumab as monotherapy for treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis utilizing a 16-week induction treatment period and a 36-week long-term maintenance treatment period.
The investigators believe that the emerging epidemiological evidence connecting topical use of corticosteroids to the development of type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis point to potentially massive, yet clinically unacknowledged problems associated with topical corticosteroid treatment. Using state-of-the-art methodology, the present study will delineate the impact of topical corticosteroid use on insulin sensitivity and bone turnover markers in patients with atopic dermatitis and, thus, provide important data that may have implications for millions of people using topical corticosteroids.
A Phase 1B, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, multiple ascending dose (MAD) clinical study is designed to evaluate ASLAN004 versus placebo in patients who have moderate-severe AD. The treatment period duration will be 8 weeks with a 12-week follow-up period after the end of treatment.
