Filter by:This is an investigator-initiated, single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blind, interventional phase IIb study. Forty patients with clinically and histologically confirmed nummular eczema will be enrolled according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients will be included after written informed consent is obtained. Prior to randomization, average application rate of class II topical steroids per day will be measured for 4 weeks. Subsequently, patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into one arm to receive Apremilast 30 mg BID (following titration phase) for 16 weeks or a second arm receiving identically matching placebo for 16 weeks. From beginning of week 17, all patients will start an open-label treatment with Apremilast 30 mg BID until week 32. Concomitant use of topical steroids (class II) is allowed during the study. During the treatment period both placebo and Apremilast will be applied p.o. from week 0 until week 32.
Unlike healthy control skin, the skin of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) is frequently colonized by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), putting these patients at increased risk of S. aureus skin infections. In addition, research in the investigator's lab has shown that these patients have fewer protective antimicrobial Staphylococcal species such as Staphylococcal epidermidis (S. epidermidis) that are known to produce antimicrobial peptides that play a role in protecting the skin from invading pathogens. In this study, the investigator will attempt to decrease S. aureus colonization and increase colonization of protective Staph species in AD patients. First the investigator will capture the bacteria on subjects' skin. Next the investigator will selectively grow the subject's antimicrobial Staphylococcal colonies and place them into a base moisturizer. The moisturizer plus bacteria will be applied to one of the subject's arms for one week. Some subjects will receive placebo, which is the moisturizer alone (without bacteria). The investigator will then swab the arms at specified time points during and after the one week application in order to determine whether the S. aureus abundance was affected by the application of the transplanted bacteria.
This Study Evaluate the efficacy of the subministration of fermented rice flour (7 g/day) on the clinical course of patients with moderate or severe Atopic Dermatitis, in terms of a reduction in the SCORAD score, during the study period and four weeks after the suspension of the treatment.
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and effectiveness of a new therapy, commensal lotion containing infection fighting bacteria, on decreasing or eliminating the infection causing bacteria found on the skin of Atopic Dermatitis (AD) patients.
It has been found that the non-live vaccine against Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis (DTP) in addition to its disease specific effects may have so called "non-specific effects" with the potential to affect sensitivity towards vaccine unrelated pathogens, resulting in excess mortality(Aaby, Kollmann, & Benn, 2014). A recent study from Australia found that delayed vaccination with the first dose of Diphtheria, Tetanus, and acellular Pertussis(DTaP)-containing vaccine is associated with reduced risk of atopic dermatitis (aOR: 0.57; 95% CI: 0.34-0.97, P = 0.04) and reduced use of medication against atopic dermatitis (aOR: 0.45; 95% CI: 0.24-0.83, P = 0.01)(Kiraly et al., 2016). This register based observational study aims to extend the existing knowledge on non-specific effects of non-live vaccines by testing the above finding, that delayed vaccination with Diphtheria, Tetanus, acellular Pertussis - Inactivated Polio vaccine - Haemophilus influenzae type b (DTaP-IPV-Hib) is associated with lower risk of developing atopic dermatitis before 1 year of age in the Danish birth cohorts from 1997-2012.
This is a dose escalation study to test the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of ASN002 in people with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD).
This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled multi-center phase IIA study to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Fugan ointment versus placebo applied to involved skin of subjects with mild to moderate subacute eczema.
Primary objective: To evaluate the efficacy of tralokinumab compared with placebo in treating moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD). Secondary objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of tralokinumab on severity and extent of AD, itch, and health related quality of life compared with placebo. Maintenance objective: To evaluate maintenance of effect with continued tralokinumab dosing up to 52 weeks compared to placebo for subjects achieving clinical response at Week 16.
The goal is this study is to evaluate how the skin surface lipid composition is correlated with overall sebum production, barrier function, and inflammatory disease status. We hypothesize that there will be differences in the skin surface composition among subjects of various groups: 1. Young vs older healthy population 2. Atopic dermatitis vs Acne vs Healthy controls 3. Active smokers vs non-smoker controls
To establish the bioequivalence between test drug, Pimecrolimus Cream, 1% with that of reference listed drug, Elidel® (pimecrolimus) Cream 1%, in the treatment of mild to moderate Atopic Dermatitis. To establish superiority of each active treatment over the placebo.
