Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess a bilateral comparison between pimecrolimus cream 1% (Elidel®) and a medical device cream (EletoneTM) in the treatment and management of atopic dermatitis. Study subjects will apply pimecrolimus twice daily for four weeks on a target area located on one side of the body, and apply the medical device cream three times daily for four weeks on the opposite side of the body at a target lesion symmetric to the other.


Clinical Trial Description

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common and chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects a large part of the population. Although atopic dermatitis responds well to twice daily mid-strength corticosteroids, it is not optimal to expose a patient to the long term use of topical corticosteroids. Side effects of long term steroid use include skin atrophy, striae, tachyphylaxis, adrenal suppression, bacterial infections, and contact allergies to name a few. Elidel® (pimecrolimus) cream 1% and Eletone™ cream are both alternative topical therapies FDA approved for use in patients with atopic dermatitis. Each has an independent mechanism of action that has been shown in clinical trials to deliver itch relief, reduce eczema flares and maintain remission, thus providing an adequate treatment option when topical steroids are not preferred or contraindicated. Thus far, no study has evaluated the efficacy of these two products head-to-head. This is an investigator-blinded, bilateral comparison study in 20 subjects with atopic dermatitis. It is designed to assess and compare the efficacy Elidel® (pimecrolimus) cream 1% and Eletone™ cream in patients with atopic dermatitis. Subjects will apply Elidel® (pimecrolimus) cream 1% twice daily for four weeks on a chosen target eczematous area located on one side of the body and then apply Eletone™ three times daily on a symmetrical target eczematous area on the opposite side of the body. A randomized list will be created to determine which side the subject applies each medication. Patients will be clinically evaluated every two weeks by the investigator on a Physician Global Assessment (PGA) scale. Part of this clinical study consists of the use of patient and self-assessment questionnaires and the use of non-identifying digital photography of target lesions. ;
