Filter by:Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic allergic skin disease with onset in early childhood and increasing prevalence in Westernized countries. Current well newborn guidelines for washing babies with soap were adopted by U.S. hospitals in the 1970s, before the rise in prevalence of allergic disease and AD (also called eczema). Increased transepidermal water-loss (TEWL) in newborn skin at 2 days of life was recently identified as a predictor of AD and allergy development by age 2 years. Risk for AD in babies was also linked to decreased skin colonization with certain skin microflora, such as staphylococcal organisms. Together, these data raise the question of whether newborn skincare guidelines have the potential to modify a baby's risk for allergy development. Our current practice of washing babies with soap may alter TEWL or other natural factors in skin that protect babies from development of AD and allergy. More knowledge is needed about the impact of infant skincare practices on allergy development. The objective of this pilot study is to determine the impact of a baby's first bath on his/her transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and skin microflora. Study procedures will include collection of TEWL measurements and skin swabs for skin microflora analysis pre/post first bath in healthy term newborns at UVA. This data will serve as preliminary data for future studies.
Psoriasis and atopic dermatitis are chronic inflammatory disease that account for a significant amount of patients in most dermatological practices. Topical corticosteroid agents are often prescribed for treatment of both these conditions, especially when they are localized rather than wide spread. The development of resistance to treatment is termed tachyphylaxis. Poor adherence, rather than down regulation of receptors, may be the primary cause of tachyphylaxis to topical corticosteroids. The primary objective of the study is to determine, under conditions designed to assure good adherence, whether topical 0.25% desoximetasone spray improves clinical outcomes in patients who have resistant inflammatory skin disease defined by failure of previous topical steroid treatment.
The objective of this pilot double-blind study was to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of Broncho-Vaxom 1 capsule (3.5 mg) per day for 9 months compared to placebo on the evolution of the disease in children suffering from Atopic Dermatitis (AD).
To evaluate the safety, efficacy (dose response) and pharmacokinetics of 0.3% and 1% OPA-15406 when applied twice daily for 4 weeks in pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis.
Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin disease also called eczema. It is common in children and sometimes gets better on its own. However, chronic AD may cause asthma, food allergies, eye infections, and sleep problems. The cause of AD might be related to bacteria that live on the skin. Researchers want to see if introducing bacteria, R mucosa, from healthy skin onto the skin of someone with AD helps treat the disease. Objective: To test the safety and activity of R mucosa for treating AD. Eligibility: Part 1: People ages 18 and older with AD Part 2: Children ages 3-17 with AD Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Examination of their AD Blood and urine tests At the baseline visit, participants will have blood tests and photos taken of their skin. They will get a supply of R mucosa and a memory aid to track their doses and record how they are feeling. Part 2 participants guardians will complete questionnaires about their child s AD. Part 1 participants will spray R mucosa on their arm twice per week for 6 weeks. Part 2 guardians will spray it on their child s arm twice per week for 16 weeks. Participants will have follow-up visits to repeat some baseline tests and review their memory aid: Part 1: Six weeks after the baseline visit Part 2: Four times over 16 weeks; then 2 or 3 times for 1 year Participants will be called or emailed to discuss how they are feeling: Part 1: About 30 days after their last visit Part 2: About every 10 days between visits
The purpose of this study is to establish the efficacy of each strength of ruxolitinib cream once daily (QD) or twice daily (BID) in participants with atopic dermatitis as compared with vehicle cream BID.
Efficacy and Safety of IDP-124 Lotion for the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Atopic Dermatitis in Pediatric and Adult Subjects
This trial will be a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, safety, tolerability and efficacy trial of SAN007 (5% East Indian sandalwood oil in a cream formulation) treatment regimen when administered daily for up to 28 days to patients from 3 months to 65 years of age, with atopic dermatitis.
