Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a randomized, intraindividual study to evaluate the short-term efficacy of triamcinolone acetonide (Aristocort® C) in subjects with atopic dermatitis.

Description:

This study is being conducted to evaluate the short-term efficacy and effect of triamcinolone acetonide (Aristocort® C) on pruritus, skin biomarkers and skin parameters in subject with atopic dermatitis. Approximately 20 subjects with atopic dermatitis will receive twice-daily topical application of triamcinolone acetonide (Aristocort® C) or vehicle in two different randomized areas for 3 days.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male or female subjects 18 years of age or older at the time of consent.

2. Subject has clinically confirmed diagnosis of active AD, according to Hanifin and Rajka criteria.

3. Subject has at least a 6-month history of AD and had no significant flares in AD for at least 4 weeks before screening.

4. Subject has 2 applications areas (10 X 10 cm) with a lesional surface of at least 6 X 6 cm, preferably located on 2 distinct anatomical areas at Day 1.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subject is a female who is breastfeeding, pregnant, or who is planning to become pregnant during the study.

2. Subject has clinically infected AD.

3. Subject has a Fitzpatrick's Skin Phototype =5.

4. Subject has a history of skin disease or presence of skin condition, other than AD, that would interfere with the study assessments in the opinion of the investigator.

5. Subject is known to have immune deficiency or is immunocompromised.

6. Subject has a history of cancer or lymphoproliferative disease within 5 years prior to Day 1.

7. Subject has any clinically significant medical condition that would, in the opinion of the investigator, put the subject at undue risk or interfere with interpretation of study results.

8. Subject has a known history of chronic infectious disease.

9. Subject has a known or suspected allergy to triamcinolone acetonide (Aristocort® C) or any component of the investigational product.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change from baseline in pruritus NRS on AD lesions	The intensity of pruritus will be evaluated using a NRS by asking subjects to assign a numerical score to the worst level of itching at each application area in the past 12 hours, on a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no itch and 10 indicates the worst imaginable itch.	72 hours
Secondary	Change from baseline in pruritus NRS on AD lesions	The intensity of pruritus will be evaluated using a NRS (Numeric Rating Scale) by asking subjects to assign a numerical score to the worst level of itching at each application area in the past 12 hours, on a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no itch and 10 indicates the worst imaginable itch.	12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 hours
Secondary	Change from baseline in skin biomarkers for AD	An untargeted biomarker approach with gene expression profile of treated and untreated skin samples will be performed.	Day 2, Day 3, and Day 4
Secondary	Change from baseline in TSS	The TSS (Total Sign Score) is an assessment of the severity of erythema, edema/papulation, oozing/crusting, excoriation, lichenification, and dryness, each scored independently using the 4-point severity scale with a value range from 0 to 3 (clear to severe). The rating for each parameter is then summed to create a score ranging from 0 to 18.	Day 4
Secondary	Change from baseline in TAA	The TAA (Target Areas Assessment) is a 6-point scale with a value range from 0 to 5 (clear to very severe) used to evaluate AD severity at each site of study drugs application.	Day 4
Secondary	Change from baseline in lesion IGA	The lesion IGA (Investigator Global Assessment) is a 5-point scale with a value range from 0 to 4 (clear to severe) used for the assessment of each target lesion severity.	Day 4
