Filter by:The Early Prevention of Asthma in Atopic Children (EPAAC™). 24 months study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of levocetirizine (LCTZ) in preventing the onset of asthma in 12 to 24 months old children.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of pimecrolimus cream 1% in its registered indication (treatment of patients > 3 months of age with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis) This study is not enrolling patients in the United States.
The study was designed to test the hypothesis whether a standardized, time-and score-oriented treatment following a strict evidence based algorithm is equally effective to a standard treatment regimen for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Study Type: Mono-centre study, patients are blinded, physicians are randomized to either treat study- or controll group Eligible are patients age 2 years or older with SCORAD >= 20 Duration: 12 Months, study visits every 4 weeks. Primary endpoint is Difference between Baseline SCORAD and mean SCORAD under treatment. Secundary endpoints are quality of life, safety and economic burden in both treatment groups.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate a measurable improvement on a validated scale in a small population of adult patients with atopic dermatitis (eczema).
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Neuroskin Forte in relieving the symptoms of dry skin in adults with psoriasis or eczema.
This study is not being conducted in the United States. To investigate the relative efficacy of pimecrolimus cream 1% applied twice daily (b.i.d.) versus once daily (o.d.) in preventing the progression to disease "relapse".
This study is not being conducted in the United States of America (USA). Atopic dermatitis, also called eczema, is characterized by redness, papulation (skin elevation) and pruritus (skin itching). The active ingredient of pimecrolimus inhibits T-cell activation. These cells are involved in the inflammatory component of the disease. This study will test the safety and efficacy of pimecrolimus cream 1% in atopic dermatitis of the face in patients intolerant of, or dependent on, topical corticosteroids.
The purpose of this investigation is to study the effectiveness of longer wavelength UVA1 (340-400nm) or shorter wavelength ultraviolet B [UVB] (290-320nm) irradiation in the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions (such as: atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, mycosis fungoides, alopecia areata, stretch marks and urticaria). This research study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an investigational device which is similar in appearance to a "tanning bed" but which emits ultraviolet irradiation of a specific wavelength known as UVA1. This device has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for general use in this country, as of yet, but it has been used quite successfully in Europe for several years in treating such conditions as scleroderma, atopic dermatitis, urticaria pigmentosa and other skin conditions. Instead of UVA1 therapy, patients may receive ultraviolet radiation of a specific wavelength known as UVB. UVA1 light is a longer wavelength and therefore a lower energy wavelength than UVB. UVB light is often the light associated with getting a sunburn since it has a higher level of energy. UVB light has been used successfully in the treatment of many skin conditions.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether this topical NF-kappaB Decoy candidate is safe in persons with atopic dermatitis. Preliminary evidence of efficacy (whether it is working) will also be evaluated.
This study consists of a 3-year double-blind phase during which patients will receive atopic dermatitis (AD) treatment either with pimecrolimus cream 1% long-term management (LTM) or with a conventional corticosteroid-based treatment (1:1 ratio), followed by a 2 to 3-year open-label (OL) phase (all patients receiving pimecrolimus cream 1% LTM). At the end of the double-blind phase, the two treatment groups will be compared with respect to their efficacy in controlling AD; at the end of the OL phase, the incidence of asthma at the age of 6 years will be compared.
