Filter by:People with atopic dermatitis (AD), or eczema, are susceptible to skin infections and inflammations. Some individuals with AD develop a condition known as eczema herpeticum (EH) following exposure to the herpes simplex virus (HSV). The purpose of this study is to identify the genetic determinants that lead people with AD to develop EH and similar conditions caused by other viruses.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of pimecrolimus cream 1% in relation to the improvement of pruritus in pediatric patients (2- to 11- year-old) with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.
An open-label, multicenter study, of long term management to evaluate effectiveness, tolerability and safety of pimecrolimus cream 1% in pediatric patients with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in a daily practice
Atopic dermatitis (AD), a chronic and relapsing inflammatory skin disease, is associated with elevated IgE levels and Th2 responses. It is currently believed that non-pathogenic bacteria modulate intestinal immune responses avoiding the development of allergic diseases. However, effects of oral probiotics on AD could not be reproduced in all studies and direct immuno-modulation of the skin associated immune response by non-pathogenic bacteria has not been investigated so far. We therefore performed a double blind placebo controlled clinical study on the effects of an ointment containing 5% extracts of the non-pathogenic bacteria Vitreoscilla filiformis on AD. Seventy-five AD patients (6-70 years of age) were randomized to receive either Vitreoscilla filiformis ointment 5% or vehicle ointment daily for 30 days. Efficacy evaluations, including the "Score of Atopic Dermatitis" (SCORAD), transepidermal water loss, assessement of microflora, and the patient assessment of itch and loss of sleep occurred at baseline, day 15, and day 29.
The study will evaluate the safety and effect of pimecrolimus cream 1% on quality of life of caregivers of South African children with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD).
A long-term 0.03% tacrolimus ointment based regimen comprising of up to 6 weeks of initial twice daily treatment and subsequent twice weekly prophylactic application can effectively treat active lesions of atopic dermatitis, and prevent, delay, and reduce flares.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common skin disease that has increased in prevalence worldwide two- to threefold over the last 50 years. Epiceram, a newly FDA-approved medical device is a topical barrier repair cream designed to deliver special epidermal lipids to the top layers of the skin in order to correct skin barrier abnormalities found in atopic dermatitis. Epiceram does not contain corticosteroids or other conventional anti-inflammatory components and represents a novel class of skin barrier repair therapy for inflammatory skin disease. The objective of this study is to determine whether Epiceram is a safe and effective therapy for mild to moderate atopic dermatitis and whether it may serve as an alternative to Elidel therapy.
Infants will be enrolled in this study if they have never been diagnosed with asthma or wheezing and have been diagnosed with atopic dermatitis or eczema. Infants with some types of skin rashes are at high risk for developing asthma by 6 years of age. The purpose of this study is to determine whether we can identify infants who will develop asthma.
To investigate the comparative efficacy of Ciclosporine A and Prednisolone in adult patients with severe atopic dermatitis.
