Filter by:A multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the adrenal suppression potential of Mapracorat 0.1% ointment in Japanese adults with atopic dermatitis.
The purpose of this study is to obtain preliminary data regarding the safety and tolerability of apremilast in AD to support the design of larger controlled studies.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of repeated subcutaneous (SC) doses of Dupilumab in participants with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).
The goal of this study is to determine what effect Cetaphil® Restoraderm® system has on babies' skin versus Johnson & Johnson baby lotion and skin cleanser.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three concentrations of a development drug compared to ointment base (vehicle) in subjects with Atopic Dermatitis (AD).
Psoriasis is a common inflammatory disease of the skin and joints with a prevalence of 1-3% in the caucasian population of Northern Europe and the US. Similarly to other inflammatory diseases there is now substantial and accumulating evidence that psoriasis has a systemic inflammatory component. It is known that patients suffering from psoriasis have increased prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension, dyslipidaemia, obesity, tobacco use and diabetes mellitus. This would logically explain an increased rate of cardiovascular events, but even when adjusting for theses risk factors, psoriasis carry an independent risk for developing cardiovascular disease. Recent large epidemiological studies have shown a strong correlation between psoriasis and myocardial infarction. Atopic dermatitis has been linked to ischemic stroke in one study, but besides this, the disease has not been associated with cardiovascular disease. In conclusion, convincing and increasing evidence is supporting that psoriasis induce accelerated atherosclerosis and hence cardiovascular disease and mortality. In particular, this is seen in young patients with early disease onset. Psoriasis is believed to be driven by cytokines produced by Th1 and Th17 lymphocytes. A number of these cytokines are suggested to be atherogenic. In contrast, another chronic inflammatory disease, atopic dermatitis, is predominantly driven by Th2 lymphocyte derived cytokines, some of which may inhibit atherosclerotic processes. It is therefore, of interest to compare the presence of cardiovascular disease in these two inflammatory skin diseases. Hypothesis: That the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and especially coronary artery disease is increased in psoriasis patients and that this process can be influenced by treatment of psoriasis with biological treatment.
This three week study will be conducted to determine the safety and efficacy of an over-the-counter (OTC) cream in children with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate dose response, safety, tolerability and efficacy of 2.5% and 5% cis-UCA in comparison to placebo and active comparator in the treatment of adult patients with moderate or severe chronic atopic dermatitis.
The goal of this study is to better understand what effect emollients (moisturizers) have on the skin in young children and adults. Subjects will be recruited from PI and Sub-I clinics and Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) research opportunities website. 1. Adult and Adolescent Study: Moisturizer Intervention - There will be 2-3 visits for this study: a screening visit, a baseline visit, and a final visit. Adults with a history of eczema will be asked to apply one of four possible moisturizers to one arm and nothing to the other arm for four weeks. The moisturizers, which will be assigned to the subjects, include either Cetaphil Cream, Aveeno Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Cream, CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, or Vaseline 100% Petroleum Jelly. Subjects can use other skin treatments as needed for their skin condition, but may not treat the arms during the study. Non-invasive tests of the skin will be made at Visit 1 and after four weeks (Visit 2). The skin measurements that will be performed are: - Transepidermal loss (TEWL)- measures how much water is lost across the skin barrier - Skin Cohesion and TEWL - TEWL after 5, 10, 15, and 20 tape strips will measure skin barrier function after tape-stripping - Skin electrical capacitance - measures the moisture in the top layer of skin - Skin pH - measures the acidity of the skin - Stratum corneum cohesion assay - tape-stripping to measure the protein removed from the top layer of skin - Lipidomic analysis - measures the lipids, or oils, in the top layer of skin Control - There will be 1-2 visits for this group: a screening visit and baseline visit, which can be combined. Non-invasive tests of the skin will be taken and include the skin measurements that will be performed are the same as the Moisturizer Intervention group. 2. Pediatric Study: There will be 2-3 visits for this study: a screening visit, a baseline visit, and a final visit. Infants and toddlers between 3 months and 3 years of age without a history of skin barrier diseases will be assigned to a moisturizer, which include either Cetaphil Cream, Aveeno Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Cream, CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, or Aveeno Skin Relief Moisture Repair Cream. Non-invasive tests of the skin will be made at Visit 1 and after four weeks (Visit 2). - TEWL- measures how much water is lost across the skin barrier - Skin electrical capacitance - measures the moisture in the top layer of skin - Skin pH - measures the acidity of the skin
Primary Objective: To evaluate safety (4 weeks) Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the long-term safety (12 weeks) - To evaluate the efficacy - To characterize the pharmacokinetic profile
