Filter by:Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease. Clinical studies have demonstrated a link between staphylococcal skin colonization and the pathogenesis of AD, but the implication of bacterial virulence factors remains largely uncharacterized. Finally, AD is often associated with herpes simplex skin infections. The aim of this project is to investigate the role of staphylococcal toxins in the exacerbation and maintenance of atopic skin inflammation and in the occurrence of infectious complications such as eczema herpeticum.
This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of the probiotic L. reuteri vs control product as an adjuvant for improving the skin appearance of children with mild or moderate atopic dermatitis. All children will receive the standard of care. Half of the children will receive topical L. reuteri in emollient, while the other half will receive the standard of care plus control product
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a frequent chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disorder, characterized by intensely itchy eczema. AD usually starts within the first 2 years of life. In 30 - 60% of children, inflammation spreads onto other body surfaces such as the gastrointestinal tract, the respiratory tract, and the conjunctives within a few years. This sequence is called atopic march. Atopic dermatitis and associated atopic diseases are more frequent in families, suggesting a genetic predisposition. However, the underlying factors such as genetic phenotype, environmental factors, or life style which cause or worsen an existing allergic disease are not understood yet. Affected people suffer from recurrent flares that result in significantly impaired quality. This study will collect clinical and laboratory data to elucidate immunotolerance and preventiv stategies with the aim to develop new and individual treatment options of atopic diseases.
Everybody's skin has bacteria that normally lives on it. Previous research has shown that people with eczema (or atopic dermatitis [AD]) have much higher concentrations of a certain bacteria (S. aureus), especially when their disease is active but little is known about the role that this bacteria plays in psoriasis (i.e. disease severity, biomarkers and skin barrier function). The overarching purpose of this longitudinal study is to understand how the abundance of skin S. aureus (and several commensal bacteria) change as a consequence of standard of care treatment in the URMC dermatology clinics. Other assays and biospecimens will also be collected to address a number of questions.
A Multi-center, Open, Single-arm Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of FURESTEM-AD inj. in Patients with Moderate to Severe Chronic Atopic Dermatitis Who Participated in a Placebo Group in K0102 Clinical Trial: 2nd Extension Study of K0102
Extrinsic - atopic dermatitis is characterized by increased of IgE serum levels. Acute extrinsic - atopic dermatitis is a type 1 hypersensitivity that involve various inflammatory mediator including Interleukin-4, Interleukin-12, and Interferon-Ɣ. Recent treatment of atopic dermatitis mainly focused on reducing the inflammation through topical and systemic regiments. However, no systemic medication could control the atopic dermatitis remission yet, and the current immunosuppressive agent used may cause many side effects if administered on a long term basis. In the future, treatment of atopic dermatitis were specifically targeted to inhibit the role of Th2. Cimetidine is H2 receptor antihistamine that has been widely used as gastrointestinal medication for a long time. Cimetidine could modulate the immune system by activating the Th1 and lowering the Th2 activity, and lowering the IgE levels thus reducing the severity of atopic dermatitis.
The main objective of the study consists in characterizing the immune cells that are present/persist in the skin and the blood of atopic dermatitis (AD) patients treated with Dupilumab, as well as with potent/very potent topical corticosteroids (TCS: betamethasone valerate cream 0.1% or clobetasol propionate cream 0.05%). A specific attention will be paid on the presence/persistence of skin Trm and ILCs. The study population will consist of 20 adult patients suffering from moderate to severe Atopic Dermatitis and eligible for Dupilumab treatment. (Patients should have inadequate response, intolerance or contraindication to systemic anti-inflammatory treatments). This is an exploratory, prospective, single-site, randomized, open labeled study. There is a treatment period of 168 days (24 weeks) and a post-treatment follow-up period of maximum 102 days.
The objective of this study is to describe and compare the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes (spontaneous abortion/miscarriage, stillbirth) and prevalence of infant outcomes (major congenital malformations [MCMs], small for gestational age [SGA]) in women with AD who are treated with dupilumab during pregnancy relative to women with AD who are not treated with dupilumab during pregnancy.
The aim of the study is to examine the effect of exposure of cesarean section (CS) delivered neonates to a natural condition of birth, i.e. to the microbiota of the birth canal, on the acquisition of microbial genes during development of the microbiome at multiple body sites, immune system maturation and allergy risk in childhood
The study's objective is to confirm that an oral probiotic treatment reduces the signs and symptoms of moderate atopic dermatitis determined by SCORAD, in patients aged 4 to 17 years, as compared to placebo. It will also be examined if the probiotic treatment, as compared to placebo, reduces the quantity of topical steroids used to treat disease flares, and increases the time till the first disease flare after the end of treatment.
