Filter by:Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin. AD is very frequent, and involves T lymphocytes cells. Measles vaccination, as well as measles vaccine, induces a temporary immunosuppression; furthermore, an improvement of AD has been observed during measles infection. This trial is aimed at demonstrating that measles vaccine is able to create an immunomodulation and to improve AD symptoms. 30 adult patients of both sexes with moderate to severe AD will be randomly assigned to measles vaccine (ROUVAX ®), or placebo (vehicle) and follow-up for 45 days. The primary outcome is the effect of anti-measles vaccination on the T cell responses in patients; Other outcomes include: clinical evolution of AD, as measured by the SCORAD, the evolution of blood level of measles specific IgE and antibodies; evolution of other biomarkers and phenotypic characteristics of T lymphocytes.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of short-term therapy using "VANOS Cream," a super-potent topical steroid cream on skin barrier function in patients with atopic dermatitis. This cream is already approved for this indication, but the investigators will further examine its effects on the skin barrier. This cream is a novel formulation of fluocinonide designed to enhance compliance with a cream base, but have the skin barrier repair properties of an ointment.
The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness and safety of desloratadine (Aerius) syrup in children with allergic skin inflammation. Patients took desloratadine syrup once a day for 28 days. Once a week, the doctor measured the patient's symptoms. This measurement is called SCORAD. The doctor also rated how much relief the patient got from treatment and recorded any side effects.
In about 800 children with allergic diseases (asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis) the investigators will retrospectively and cross-sectionally analyze the influence/correlation of diagnosis, treatment methods, allergy status (skin prick test results), lung function tests results on/with the concentration of nitric oxide in exhaled breath.
Primecrolimus cream 1% is effective in the treatment of atopic dermatitis in African American children.
The systemic treatments for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) are limited to phototherapy and cyclosporine with the risks respectively of either carcinoma, or hypertension or nephropathy. Methotrexate was effective in 75% of moderate to severe AD patients with good tolerance in an open retrospective study. We want to confirm our observations: a non inferiority multicenter clinical trial, methotrexate versus cyclosporine, will be conducted in 100 patients for 24 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether early use of a bland emollient in newborns, prior to the clinical signs of skin disease, will delay the onset or prevent the development of atopic dermatitis.
Seven-month study in pediatric patients (2-11 years) with moderate to severe AD who were considered to benefit from vaccination to prevent invasive disease caused by Neisseria meningitides serogroup C.
The number of infants and children with allergic disease (dermatitis, allergies, asthma) has increased over the last several decades. This may be related to changes in diet. It is now thought that children become sensitised to allergens very early in life maybe even before they are born. Some studies show that a high omega-3 fat intake by mothers decreases risk of sensitisation in their babies. There is a biological mechanism to explain this. Omega-3 fats are found in oily fish like salmon. In the UK pregnant women are recommended to eat oily fish twice per week. However, consumption of oily fish is known to be low in pregnant women in the UK. This study sets out to identify the effects of increasing salmon intake in pregnant women. The hypothesis being investigated is that : increased consumption of oily fish during pregnancy by women at risk of having offspring who will develop atopy will increase their omega-3 fat and antioxidant status and that of their developing baby and will ameliorate the development of atopic markers and manifestations in the infants.
Open, prospective, single-site, non-randomized study of the efficacy and safety of T.R.U.E. TEST allergens in children and adolescents ages 6-18.
