Filter by: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 by protective Staph species in AD patients. First the investigator will capture the bacteria on subjects' lesional AD 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, and the moisturizer alone (without bacteria) to the other arm. The investigator will then do a quantitative wash of the bacteria growing on each arm one day later in order to determine whether the S. aureus abundance was affected by the application of the transplanted bacteria.
The primary objective is to assess the long-term safety of dupilumab administered in adult participants with atopic dermatitis (AD). The secondary objective of the study is to assess the immunogenicity of dupilumab in adult participants with AD, in the context of re-treatment, and to monitor efficacy parameters associated with long-term treatment. Optional Sub-Study: The primary objective of the sub-study is to assess the safety of the new dupilumab drug product in adult patients with AD after switching from the current dupilumab drug product. The secondary objectives of the sub-study are to evaluate systemic exposure and immunogenicity of the new dupilumab drug product in adult patients with AD.
The study shall explore whether treatment of atopic dermatitis is equally effective with respect to a marketed medical device and a new medical device.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of 2 doses of ustekinumab compared with placebo (inactive medication) in adult Japanese participants with severe atopic dermatitis.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin disorder that adversely affects most aspects of everyday life in majority of patients. It has a prevalence of up to 3-4% of adults and up to 25% among children. AD has a complex pathogenesis, characterized by: 1) immune activation with increased numbers of T-cells, dendritic cells (DCs), and increased expression of inflammatory molecules 2) marked epidermal hyperplasia in chronic diseased skin, and 3) defective barrier function with increased trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and decreased lipids, reflecting underlying alterations in keratinocyte differentiation. AD is predominantly a Th2 (IL-4, IL-13, and IL-31) disease, and recently was also found to be a "T22" (IL-22) polarized disease. ILV-094 is an anti IL-22 antibody and therefore should reverse the immune activation of AD. This study is being done to assess the safety, tolerability, clinical efficacy, and mechanism of action of ILV-094 in patients with AD.
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a form of phototherapy which involves the application of light to injuries and lesions to promote tissue regeneration. It is a noninvasive treatment modality based on the photochemical effect of light on tissues, which modulates various metabolic processes. LLLT has been used for a wide range of conditions, in particular in dermatology, to promote wound healing, reduce inflammation and oedema, and relieve pain. In this study, we intend to assess the efficacy of LLLT to manage radiotherapy-induced skin reactions (or radiation dermatitis), a very common and distressing side effect of cancer treatment.
We are the missing link in clinical trials, connecting patients and researchers seamlessly and conveniently using a mobile health platform to advance medical research. We make it easy for patients to contribute to research for medical conditions that matter most to them, regardless of their location or ability to travel.
The purpose of phase I clinical trial is to evaluate safety and efficacy in subjects with over Moderately subacute and chronic Atopic Dermatitis after inject. Also, The purpose of phase IIa clinical trial is to determine clinically proper dose capacity of FURESTEM-AD Inj. by evaluating safety and efficacy based on SCORAD INDEX in subjects with over Moderately subacute and chronic Atopic Dermatitis.
This is an efficacy and safety study of up to 12 weeks of desloratadine in Japanese participants with eczema/dermatitis and dermal pruritus. The primary hypothesis of this study is that the sum of the daytime and nighttime pruritus/itch scores for both the eczema/dermatitis group and the dermal pruritus group will be significantly improved at Week 2 compared to Baseline.
This is an open-label, randomized, comparative study, including 4 phases: SCREENING, ACUTE, MAINTENANCE and FOLLOW-UP. Subjects will complete the SCREENING phase to check the eligibility within 7 days after they sign the written informed consent form. All eligible subjects will be enrolled in ACUTE phase to receive twice daily Fluticasone propionate (FP) 0.05% cream up to 4 weeks. The efficacy and safety in ACUTE phase will be assessed every 2 weeks up to 4 weeks or until Treatment Success which depends on which time point comes first. Then subject can get into the MAINTENANCE phase receiving either emollient twice daily plus FP 0.05% cream once daily twice a week (Group A), or emollient twice daily (Group B), by 1:1 randomization. The treatment duration in MAINTENANCE phase will be up to 20 weeks. The efficacy and safety in MAINTENANCE phase will be assessed every 4 weeks up to 20 weeks or until AD relapse that depends on which time point comes first. If subjects don't experience relapse during MAINTENANCE phase, subsequent FOLLOW-UP phase applying emollient twice daily won't be longer than another 12 weeks. Total study duration is up to 37 weeks. All subjects receive FP 0.05% cream twice daily up to 4 weeks to all affected sites and any newly occurring sites in ACUTE phase. After randomization in MAINTENANCE phase, subjects either receive emollient twice daily extendedly plus FP 0.05% cream once daily twice a week to all healed sites and any newly occurring sites (Group A), or emollient twice daily extendedly (Group B), up to 20 weeks. In FOLLOW-UP phase, all subjects apply emollient twice daily up to 12 weeks. This study will enrol 120 subjects, and propose at least 80 subjects to be randomized. Study Endpoints/Assessments: Primary endpoint is to observe the median time to the first relapse of AD during MAINTENANCE phase. Secondary endpoints are: 1. Median time to the first relapse of AD during the whole study (including maintenance phase and follow-up phase. 2. Numbers of recurrent patients at the end of MAINTENANCE phase; 3. Numbers of recurrent patients at the end of FOLLOW-UP phase; 4. The effective rates (proportion of "treatment success" patients) during ACUTE phase (V3, W-2±2days;V4, W0±2days ) 5. Evaluate the safety during the whole study duration (ACUTE phase, MAINTENANCE phase, FOLLOW-UP phase respectively); 6. Evaluate visual skin assessment for signs of cutaneous atrophy, epidermal thickening / lichenification and abnormal pigmentation changes during the whole study duration (ACUTE phase, MAINTENANCE phase, FOLLOW-UP phase respectively); 7. The change of Quality of Life (QoL) from baseline at the end of MAINTENANCE phase; 8. The change of Quality of Life (QoL) from baseline at the end of FOLLOW-UP phase; 9. Subjects' post-study evaluation to drugs.
