This is a two-arm, open-label study that aims to compare the incidence and severity of the most common adverse reactions, particularly contact dermatitis, when Valchlor is used alone or in conjunction with triamcinolone ointment 0.1% in early stage MF subjects (Stage IA and IB) for a period of 4 months.
This is a Phase I, single-site study to evaluate the sensitization potential of topically applied ATx201 GEL, 2% and 4%, along with a placebo control, in healthy human subjects.
The molecular mechanisms of action of photo(chemo)therapy in skin diseases are investigated in this study. The phototherapeutic modalities employed include UVB (ultraviolet B), UVA (ultraviolet A), PUVA (psoralen+UVA) and/or extracorporeal photochemotherapy (photopheresis). The study will address whether and how photo(chemo)therapy affects specific biologic pathways in different skin disorders and search for predictive biomarkers.
This study evaluates the clinical and molecular effect of daily exposure to low doses of the fragrance contact allergen oxidized R-limonene. Three groups of participants are included: 1) Patients with a previous positive patch test to oxidized R-Limonene, 2) patients with a previous doubtful patch test to oxidized R-limonene and 3) healthy controls with no contact allergy to oxidized R-limonene
The former Nickel Directive was introduced in EU in 1994 limiting the release of nickel from items intended for prolonged contact with skin. The nickel regulation entered into full force in 2001 and became a part of REACH (the EU chemicals regulation) in 2009. Since then the prevalence of nickel allergy has declined in some countries, but not in others, following the implementation. Young individuals still become allergic to nickel (2, 3) and a high prevalence of nickel allergy, exceeding 10%, is seen among young women (below 30 years) in the general population. The EU nickel regulation has been changing over time. The present limits of nickel release for metallic items intended for direct and prolonged contact with the skin is <0.5 μg/cm2/week and <0.2 μg/cm2/week for any post assemblies inserted into pierced holes. In 2014, EU defined prolonged contact with the skin as: at least 30 minutes on one or more occasions within two weeks for items with continuous skin contact, or to at least 10 minutes on three or more occasions within two weeks (7). The overall objective is to evaluate how well the EU nickel regulation protects individuals against developing nickel dermatitis. More specifically we will: 1. Study the penetration of nickel in normal and irritated skin after short repeated skin exposure under controlled temperature in nickel sensitized patients and in healthy controls 2. Reveal the potential of short repeated nickel skin exposure on normal and irritated skin to elicit dermatitis, during controlled climate factors in nickel sensitized patients and controls using the time restrictions of the definition of prolonged skin contact in the nickel regulation.
Irritant contact dermatitis induced by sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) is often used as a model for testing efficacy of various topical preparations. Aforementioned model is standardized and described in guidelines, but it is not explicitly stated where the irritation should be induced. Published clinical trials usually irritate volar aspect of forearms or upper back. Also, lower back and dorsal aspect of forearm are sometimes used. Skin parameters vary depending on anatomic location of measured skin. There is a difference in stratum corneum thickness, hydration and transepidermal water loss across different locations, including between volar forearm and upper back. Furthermore, regional difference in skin response to irritation by tape stripping and benzalkonium chloride were observed. Such differences are also possible in SLS irritation model. One study has shown higher, but not statistically significant, response of back in comparison to forearms, but it had a very small sample size (n=9). Moreover, there are regional variations of topical preparations absorption. Hydrocortisone had 1,7 times higher absorption when applied to upper back in comparison to forearms. Those variations could be explained by different corneocyte size and number of their layers between back and hands. Skin baseline properties and response to irritation seem to be dependent on anatomic position. Those differences could mean different response to treatment. Since published trials only tested efficacy of various preparations on one anatomic location, it is possible their results would be different if tested on other body parts. It could limit validity and usefulness of conducted trials. The aim of this study is to determine if there are regional differences of skin response to irritation and emollient cream treatment in irritant contact dermatitis model.
Investigators will sample the skin and blood of patients with chronic skin conditions (including but not limited to atopic dermatitis (AD), contact dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), and psoriasis) to study the expression of anti-oxidative enzymes, skin barrier proteins and inflammatory molecules. In patients with atopic dermatitis, investigators will also measure skin barrier function using noninvasive devices. These results will be correlated with the disease severity in atopic dermatitis patients.
This two cohort study (Cohort A and B) is being conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of BBI-2000 for the prevention (Cohort A) and treatment (Cohort B) of delayed type hypersensitivity reaction.
This study aims to identify patient characteristics associated with the development of Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis (IAD) category 2 (skin erosion due to incontinence). 380 ICU patients suffering of fecal incontinence will be included in the study. Data on 19 possible risk factors will be collected at one point in time by the research team. Different sources and methods will be used to collect patient data: skin assessment, patient record, direct patient observation, routine blood samples.
