Filter by:Many studies had demonstrated that probiotics could be applied in the prevention and adjuvant treatment for allergic diseases. In this study, we investigate the effects of Lactobacillus paracasei GMNL-133(LP), Lactobacillus fermentum GM-090 (LF), and Lactobacillus paracasei GMNL-133(LP) with Lactobacillus fermentum GM-090 (LF) combination products used for adjuvant treatment of atopic dermatitis and asthma.
Background: - Atopic dermatitis, or eczema, is a chronic skin disorder. Patients sometimes have infections with S. aureus bacteria. Researchers want to study how eczema treatments affect the number and the type of bacteria on the skin. Objectives: - To study the effect of eczema treatments on skin bacteria. Eligibility: - Individuals between 2 and 25 years of age who have moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. - Healthy volunteers between 18 and 40 years of age with no history of eczema. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Research samples will be collected. Skin biopsies may also be performed. - All participants will be assigned to one of several study groups. - This study will last for up to 1 year. Healthy volunteers must not have taken antibiotics in the year before the start of the study. - All participants will have regular study visits during their 1-year participation. More research samples will be collected at these visits.
The purpose of the study is to determine safety and tolerability of IL-31 mAB
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).
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of AN2728 Topical Ointment, 2% and 0.5%, administered once a day (QD) or twice a day (BID), in the treatment of adolescents with atopic dermatitis (AD)
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by exacerbations and remission of intensely pruritic lesions of variable location. AD may be acute (short-term and severe) with predominantly redness, vesicles and oozing, or it may be chronic (long-term) with scaling, skin thickening, altered pigmentation and exaggerated surface markings. The condition affects mainly the creases of the elbows and knees, and the face and neck, although it can affect any part of the body. The severity of AD is variable, ranging from localized mild scaling to generalized involvement of the whole body. Itching is the predominant symptom, which can induce a vicious cycle of scratching, leading to skin damage. There is a tendency to lifelong dry sensitive skin. Skin of AD is often colonized by Staphylococcus aureus contributing to perpetuating cutaneous inflammation. AD treatment is based on skin hydration, identification and elimination of flare factors, and pharmacologic therapy. Biofunctional textiles are emerging as new and complementary tools . Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide with in vitro anti-microbial activity and regenerating properties. The investigators aim to evaluate the effect of a textile coated with chitosan in AD treatment as well as its impact on systemic inflammation and skin microbiome. The investigators hypothesize the use of biofunctional textile coated with chitosan will improve severity of AD , quality of life and diminish skin colonization with Staphylococcus aureus and some skin moulds, namely Malassezia.
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).
To assess prospectively, the response of moderate to severe atopic eczema to a standard course of narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy by using validated objective and subjective scoring systems.
The objective of this phase 2 study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of HL-009 Liposomal Gel in adult patients with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD).
The study will assess the safety and efficacy of QGE031 in the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis patients. In addition, QGE031 levels in the blood will be measured and the effect of QGE031 on markers in the blood and skin will be evaluated. Comparisons of the effect of QGE31 will be made with placebo and also cyclosporine, a treatment already established as being effective in atopic dermatitis.
