Filter by:Investigators will sample the skin and blood of patients with chronic skin conditions (including but not limited to atopic dermatitis (AD), contact dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), and psoriasis) to study the expression of anti-oxidative enzymes, skin barrier proteins and inflammatory molecules. In patients with atopic dermatitis, investigators will also measure skin barrier function using noninvasive devices. These results will be correlated with the disease severity in atopic dermatitis patients.
This will be a single visit study that will take approximately 2 hours. Up to 50 subjects (up to 25 healthy subjects, and up to 25 subjects with AD) from BUMC dermatology clinics will be enrolled in this study and randomized to receive the 7 cleansers on 7 test spots on their upper extremities. One spot will serve as a control and not receive any cleanser. Each spot will be cleansed with the corresponding cleanser for 15 seconds then rinsed off with tap water. Skin barrier will be measured at baseline, immediately after, 30, 60 and 90 minutes after rinse off.
Atopic Dermatitis (AD), also known as eczema, is a common skin disease characterized by itchy lesions. The prevalence of AD has increased over the past few decades, with 15-30% of children and 2-10% of adults being affected. The lesions of atopic dermatitis patients are very inflamed, with an increased number of inflammatory cells in the skin. The first line treatment for AD is steroids, which reduce inflammation in the skin. There are several ways to measure if the treatment is effective, including clinical and cellular. We are proposing that a controlled skin allergen challenge will be an effective way to measure the effect of steroid at a cellular level through the measurement of inflammatory cells in the late cutaneous response. This will be examined using a placebo-controlled trial.
This proof of concept study aims to assess in patients suffering from atopic dermatitis if polymeric microparticles reach the pilosebaceous follicles of inflamed skin.
Randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled, multicenter, efficacy and safety study in subjects with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis. Following the double blind period, subjects will be allowed to continue treatment with topical MRX-6 Cream 2% in an open-label extension. Demonstrate the efficacy of MRX-6 Cream 2% compared to Vehicle for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of atopic dermatitis and demonstrate the safety of MRX-6 Cream 2% for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of atopic dermatitis.
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.
This is a 3-part study to assess the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity of MK-8226 in participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Part 1 (multiple rising dose study) objectives were to find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of MK-8226 and to assess safety and PK. Part 2 objectives were to determine safety, PK, and preliminary efficacy. Part 3 objectives were to further define safety and PK, and explore MK-8226 PK/PD to model the optimal dose range for future studies. The study was terminated early due to business reasons on 08 May 2014; final results from an analysis for Part 1 (efficacy, PK, safety, immunogenicity) and Part 2 (safety, immunogenicity) are summarized.
The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical activity on refractory moderate-to-severe pruritus of a single intravenous (IV) dose of REGN846 in adult patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).
There is a lack of prospective scientific data on the regular use of moisturizers in patients at risk of developing atopic dermatitis. Although generally accepted and widely used for secondary prevention, emollients have not been studied as a primary prevention strategy. Strategies previously studied for the prevention of atopic dermatitis include maternal and child's dietary manipulations, allergens avoidance, delay of food introduction, exclusive breastfeeding and probiotic supplementation. Despite years of research, none of those strategies yielded to strong evidence of a protective effect. There is therefore a need to explore novel strategies. There is a need to compare the cumulative incidence rate of atopic dermatitis in newborns using a standard bathing and moisturizing routine with a good moisturizer to a non interventional group. This 2-year study will recruit approximately four hundred and sixty (460) pregnant women with a first degree relative of the child to be born who currently has (or previously had) a diagnosis of atopic dermatitis in order to study approximately 200 eligible newborns in each of the two study groups at the beginning of the study. Pregnant women will be randomized (1:1) to either daily use of the moisturizer Lipikar Balm AP (applied to their infant) starting from birth (Group 1) immediately after bathing or to no intervention (Group 2).
The purpose of this Phase Ib study is to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of LEO 29102 2,5 mg/g cream when treating atopic dermatitis (AD) lesions from 10 up to 100% of the body surface area (BSA) twice daily (BID) for 7 days (Cohorts I, II, III) and from 10% up to 50% of BSA (bid) for 6 weeks (Cohort IV). This trial will be performed in four cohorts. Cohort I, II and III includes patients with a larger BSA that increases from one cohort to the next. After each cohort (Cohort I, II)a blinded evaluation of the safety and tolerability data will assess whether a stepwise increase in the percentage of "to be treated BSA" is justified. Cohort IV will start dosing after finalisation of Cohort II and after submission of data from Cohort I and II to the national authority and IEC for review.
