Filter by:Considering the pathogenesis of several allergic skin diseases to be investigated in this study as well as the pharmacodynamic mechanisms of the association of dexamethasone and clemastine fumarate, it is believed that the components of topical medication may act synergistically in the reduction of signs and symptoms of the diseases in question. Therefore it is expected that the association promotes results significantly superior to dexamethasone alone.
The purpose is to study efficacy of Lactofiltrum in adult patients with atopic dermatitis. Lactofiltrum consists of 85% of hidrolytic lignin and 15% of lactulose and acts as an enterosorbent, which enables to enhance metabolism and elimination of endotoxins and to normalize metabolic and immune processes. Additionally, lactulose stimulates Bifidobacterium flora and in aggregate it could improve skin condition afflicted by atopic dermatitis.
Background: - Severe atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects both children and adults and causes severe itching and skin redness. Current treatments of atopic dermatitis include topical creams and lotions, light therapy, and medications. However, the difficulty with long-term treatment for the chronic and severe nature of the disease requires more effective and better-tolerated therapeutic options. - Anakinra is a drug that blocks a substance called interleukin-1 (IL-1), which may be important in causing the inflammation in atopic dermatitis. Researchers are interested in determining whether anakinra can be used to help treat atopic dermatitis. Anakinra has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat rheumatoid arthritis in adults and children, but it has not been approved for use in adults or children with atopic dermatitis and is considered an experimental treatment in this study. In this study Anakinra will be administered as an injection under the skin every day for 3 months Objectives: - To assess the safety and effectiveness of using anakinra to treat severe atopic dermatitis in children. Eligibility: - Children between 10 and 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with severe atopic dermatitis that has not responded to standard treatment. Design: - Initial Screening: Participants will have an initial screening visit with a complete physical examination and medical history, blood and urine tests, photographs of the skin ,skin biopsy, and other tests as required. - Run-in Period: At the screening visit, participants will receive a diary card and will be asked to track their atopic dermatitis symptoms on standard treatment for 2 months. - Start of Treatment: At the end of the 2 month Run-in period participants will return for an inpatient visit (2 days) to receive the initial dose of anakinra and will be watched for any side effects. During the inpatient visit, participants will have additional examinations and blood and urine tests, and will be instructed on how to administer the anakinra injections at home. Treatment Period: - Participants will return once a week for the first 2 weeks of treatment, at the end of the first month, and then once a month for the following 2 months, for a physical exam and blood tests. Participants will be asked to record symptoms related to their atopic dermatitis, anakinra administration and any side effects related to the anakinra on the diary card. The diary cards will be reviewed and collected at each visit.- End of Treatment Period: At the end of 3 months of treatment with anakinra, participants will again be asked to record symptoms related to their atopic dermatitis on the diary card. Participants will be seen once a month for 3 months for a physical exam, blood tests and review of the diary card. . The final study visit will take place at the end of the 3rd month and will include a physical exam, blood tests, photographs and skin biopsy.
The aim of the study is an intra-individual comparison of skin conditions in addition to a patient based assessment of product appearance in the topical treatment of atopic eczema.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of dapsone gel, 5% in the treatment of dermatitis herpetiformis. The primary efficacy end point will be the proportion of patients achieving success based on mean % reduction from baseline in total lesion counts at week six. Success for lesion reduction will be defined as statistically greater mean percent reductions at week six in the dapsone gel-treated extremity compared with the control extremity of each patient.
Welichem Biotech has developed a small molecule drug candidate, WBI-1001, that selectively targets the pathogenic features of inflammatory skin diseases, including atopic dermatitis (a form of eczema).The purpose of this clinical trial is to further test the safety and efficacy of WBI-1001 as a topically applied cream over an extended period of 12 weeks on patients with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and cost effectiveness of Aquaphor Healing Ointment, Atopiclair and EpiCeram as a monotherapy in mild to moderate AD. The investigators hypothesize that no statistical difference will exist in the efficacy between an over-the-counter moisturizer, Aquaphor Healing Ointment, compared to prescription devices Atopiclair and EpiCeram in treating mild to moderate AD. Therefore, Aquaphor will be most cost-effective than Atopiclair or EpiCeram.
This study evaluates the efficacy of the topical used ectoine-formulation EHK02-01 compared to Atopiclair. Patients are examined at visit 2 (baseline visit). The patient topically applies EHK02-01 or Zarzenda® twice daily on two symmetric lesional areas over 28 days. Response to therapy is recorded at each visit.
'OnderHUIDs' is an educational program (Department of Dermatology, University Hospital, Gent) for patients with psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. We want to stimulate the patient to actively participate in their therapeutic approach by enhanced self care. We call the hypothesis that this program will help the patients learn to cope with their disease and to be loyal to their treatment, which will result in a better quality of life, better clinical outcome and cost effectiveness.
The purpose of this study is to see if acupressure will be effective at reducing itch in people with atopic dermatitis (AD).
