Filter by:Patients with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis will be asked to participate in helping the study team determine how well the medication works for atopic dermatitis. Participants will not be told that adherence will be monitored. Patients will be dispensed topical crisaborole 2% ointment (Eucrisa®) in a medication tube fitted with a Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS) cap if they agree to participate. This cap records dates and times the bottle is opened and this data can be downloaded and tabulated with the associated software. Investigators and subjects will be blinded to the adherence data until the final treatment (12 month) session. The study subjects will be randomized to two groups. After baseline visit, both groups will come for a follow-up visit at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. The intervention group will also be asked to complete an online treatment response survey designed to improve adherence at weekly intervals for 6 weeks, then monthly thereafter. The study will consist of a 12-month Treatment Phase. Study subjects will be instructed to apply the medication twice daily (morning and evening) to all of their AD lesions. They will be instructed to apply the smallest amount of study medication possible that is sufficient to cover all lesions. These instructions are standard-of-care for patients with AD. Subjects will be asked to bring their medication tubes with them at each visit. At each visit, the study coordinator will weigh the medication tube and download the MEMS cap data. Disclosure of the adherence monitoring will occur at the 12 month visit (or end of treatment), at which time the results of the subject's adherence behavior will be used to supply individualized treatment options for each subject (feedback session). At each visit, drug tubes will be measured for weight to determine the amount of study medication used. This data will be correlated with the extent of BSA involved and the response of the disease. The MEMS caps will be downloaded at each visit.
Exploratory, multi-centric, randomized, vehicle-controlled, investigator-blind, parallel group study, involved participants with chronic lesions of Atopic Dermatitis (AD) to evaluate the local and systemic safety of CD5024 0.3% cream over a 6-week treatment period compared to its vehicle.
This is an open-label, safety study designed to assess the multiple-dose pharmacokinetics and potential for adrenal suppression following topical treatment with halobetasol propionate 0.05% spray applied twice-daily in adult patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. At least 40 eligible patients with atopic dermatitis that satisfy all eligibility criteria will be enrolled into the study
This is a single-center, exploratory comparative pilot study to identify the most appropriate method for microbial consortia sampling from the skin. Ten subjects are expected to complete the study at one investigative site in the United States. The study will consist of 2 visits, Visit 1 (Screening), Visit 2 (Sampling). At Visit 1, subjects will be consented and have their eligibility reviewed. Visit 1 and Visit 2 may be combined into one visit. Visit 1 will involve the informed consent process, screening, and enrollment. Visit 2 will involve sampling of eight (8) test sites on the back with three (3) different sampling methods: swabbing (2 sites/method), cup scrub (2 sites/method), and tape stripping (4 sites/method). All samples will be returned to Kimberly Clark then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
This is a Prospective, Vehicle Controlled, Double Blind, Multicenter, Randomized Phase II trial, comparing the effect of twice daily B244 application for 28 days vs vehicle application on treatment of mild to moderate AD
This study is being conducted to characterize the mechanism of action of crisaborole ointment 2%, by evaluation of efficacy and changes in key skin biomarkers in atopic dermatitis (AD) lesions treated with crisaborole ointment 2% over vehicle, in subjects with mild to moderate AD. Two identified AD skin lesions for each subject will be treated for the first 15 days, one with crisaborole ointment 2% and one with vehicle, in a blinded manner, and biopsies for biomarker analysis will be performed on the lesions. Following completion of the blinded treatment period, subjects will start the 28 day open label period during which all AD affected skin lesions will be treated with crisaborole ointment 2% twice daily.
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 trial will test the feasibility of various imaging devices to detect local skin inflammation prior to clinical manifestation.
This will be a single visit study that will take approximately 2 hours. Up to 50 subjects (up to 25 healthy subjects, and up to 25 subjects with AD) from BUMC dermatology clinics will be enrolled in this study and randomized to receive the 7 cleansers on 7 test spots on their upper extremities. One spot will serve as a control and not receive any cleanser. Each spot will be cleansed with the corresponding cleanser for 15 seconds then rinsed off with tap water. Skin barrier will be measured at baseline, immediately after, 30, 60 and 90 minutes after rinse off.
