Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic or chronic recurring inflammatory skin disorder. Patients suffer from eczema and often severe pruritus on the affected skin, as well as from frequent complications and secondary infections. Next to a genetically predetermined defect in epidermal barrier function and vegetative dysfunction, AD arises from an upregulation of Th2-modified immune responses inducing increased IgE-antibody production, cytokine secretion and subsequently, local inflammation. Although standard therapies of AD, modern topical corticosteroids, show a better ratio of therapeutic effects to side effects, they retain a moderate acceptance due to their non-specific action, strict compliance requirements and possible adverse effects. As a newer alternative, calcineurin inhibitors show fewer side effects but raise concerns regarding long term risks including the possibility of skin carcinogenicity. Therefore, medical need remains for novel therapies for this major public health problem, directed in particular at specific early disease-causing mechanisms and/or molecular targets, with an improved efficacy, safety and compliance. Novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases by targeting early disease-causing mechanisms are a promising approach for the treatment of AD. The transcription factor GATA-3 represents the key regulatory factor of Th2-driven immune responses. It is indispensable for the differentiation and activation of Th2 cells; it integrates Th2 signals and induces Th2 cytokine expression. The investigational product SB011 contains the DNAzyme hgd40 that targets GATA-3. By cleaving GATA-3 mRNA hgd40 reduces specific cytokine production and thereby reduces key features of allergic airway inflammation. DNAzymes are completely generated by chemical synthesis and can be produced under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) controlled conditions. The DNAzymes are not biological drugs, i.e. they are not generated by use of any living organism including cell culture or bacteria. The molecules are highly water-soluble and will be applied as a water/oil/water (W/O/W) formulation since multiple emulsions have been shown to protect the active ingredient from degradation on the skin and have penetration enhancing properties in comparison to other carrier systems. This proof-of-concept study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of the topical formulation SB011 containing 2 % hgd40 twice daily (BID) in patients with mild to moderate atopic eczema.
Addition of prebiotic galactooligosaccharides to hypoallergenic starter formula would lead to decreased allergic (atopic) symptoms in nonbreastfed infants with a positive history of allergy in family
This is a multi-center, open-label study to evaluate whether participants follow the duration of use instructions for short-term use of alclometasone dipropionate in a population of participants with itchy skin conditions who would use OTC treatments for relief. The study population will be composed of two different cohorts: chronic condition sufferers (eczema or psoriasis) and participants who suffer from occasional itchy skin experiences (such as poison ivy, oak, sumac, insect bites, or skin irritations due to jewelry, cosmetics, detergents, or soaps) where an anti-itch medication would be used.
This is a prospective, open label, single arm, and observational and multicenter study to assess the correlation between PEST and SCORAD scores in the management of AD with the Ceradan® regimen.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of 2 concentrations of OPA-15406 compared to vehicle in participants with atopic dermatitis (AD).
Background: Increase in skin colonization of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in atopic dermatitis patients (AD) resulted from the reduction of cathelicidin production in these patients plays the important role in pathogenesis of this disease. Recently in vivo study has showed that vitamin D can stimulate cathelicidin production. Oral supplement of vitamin D might be beneficial in atopic dermatitis. Objective: To determine the effect of oral vitamin D supplement on clinical impact including skin colonization of S. aureus in atopic dermatitis patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine the hydration effect of various regimens of skin bathing and moisturizer application on atopic dermatitis
This study is an randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of oral KHK4577 for 6 weeks in patients with atopic dermatitis. Pharmacokinetics of KHK4577 will also be assessed.
This is randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to test whether VLY-686 can reduce chronic pruritus in subjects with treatment-resistant pruritus associated with atopic dermatitis in comparison with placebo.
