Filter by:This study is looking at the safety of applying dilute bleach compresses to patients receiving radiation therapy and the impact of these dilute bleach compresses on the frequency and severity of skin changes that occur during radiation therapy. The names of the study interventions involved in this study are: - Di-Dak-Sol: dilute bleach compresses - White petrolatum ointment
Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that is characterized by intense itching, oozing and crusting, redness, skin erosion and dry skin. This study will evaluate how well upadacitinib compared to placebo (no medicine) works to treat participants with moderate to severe AD in Brazil. The study will assess change in disease signs and symptoms. Upadacitinib is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of Atopic Dermatitis (AD). This study is "double-blinded", which means that neither the trial participants nor the study doctors will know who will be given which study drug. Study doctors put the participants into 1 of 4 groups called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. Participants with a diagnosis of AD will be enrolled. Around 150 participants will be enrolled in the study in approximately 20 sites in Brazil. Participants will receive the following for up to 52 weeks: Participants will receive oral upadacitinib tablets once daily for up to week 52. Participants may also receive oral placebo tablets once daily up to week 16 followed by oral upadacitinib tablets once daily up to week 52. Arm 1: Upadacitinib Dose A up to week 52. Arm 2: Upadacitinib Dose B up to week 52. Arm 3: Placebo up to week 16 followed by upadacitinib Dose A up to week 52. Arm 4: Placebo up to week 16 followed by upadacitinib Dose B up to week 52. There may be higher burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend monthly visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, and checking for side effects.
Acute radiodermatitis (ARD) is a distressing and painful skin reaction that occurs in 95% of the patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT). To date, there is still no general approved guideline for the prevention and management of acute radiodermatitis. The 3M™ Cavilon™ Advanced Skin Protectant is a novel skin barrier protectant that acts as a physical barrier against abrasion, moisture, and irritants. Moreover, it enables an environment for wound healing. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of 3M™ Cavilon™ Advanced Skin Protectant in the prevention and management of ARD in patients with head and neck cancer.
Purpose: To study the etiology and the epigenetic pathways leading to and regulating chronic itch. Similarly, to examine the mechanisms underlying skin changes, including epigenetic alterations while also testing the efficacy of opioid antagonists in atopic dermatitis. In this study, the investigators aim to examine chronic sensory disorder mechanisms related to chronic itch.

This phase I trial studies the side effects of a silicone topical wound dressing (StrataXRT) and to see how well it works in preventing radiation dermatitis (skin burns and side effects caused by radiation) in pediatric patients undergoing radiation therapy. StrataXRT may help prevent or decrease severe skin rash, pain, itching, skin peeling, and dry skin in pediatric patients undergoing radiation therapy to the brain or spinal cord.
The aim of this study is the safety and efficacy of autologous very small embryonic-like stem cells(VSELs) to facial skin antiaging.
This is a phase IV, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, three-arm, parallel intervention study including three groups of 25 subjects between 35-65 years of age, treated with either Bend Beauty's Anti-Aging Formula, fish oil control or inert placebo for 90 days, with testing points at baseline, 30, 60, and 90 days.
Approximately 15-20% of children in the United States suffer from the symptoms of atopic dermatitis (eczema), which include pruritus, pain, irritation, and difficulty sleeping. Tencel fabric has been marketed as a superior fabric for children with atopic dermatitis due to improved moisture absorption and decreased bacterial growth compared to cotton and synthetic fabrics. However, no dermatologic studies have been conducted on Tencel fabric. The investigators' objective is to perform a randomized double-blinded trial comparing Tencel garments to traditional cotton for children with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. The investigators hypothesize that children in the Tencel group will demonstrate improvement in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) scores, Investigator's Global Assessment, pruritus as measured by ItchyQoL: A Pruritus-Specific Quality of Life Instrument, and Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDQLI) or Infant's Dermatitis Quality of Life Index (IDQoL). An randomized double-blind trial of 12 weeks duration will be conducted. Fifty children age 6 months to 6 years with moderate to severe eczema will be recruited from the Johns Hopkins pediatric dermatology clinic and given 6 weeks of standard skin directed therapy followed by 6 weeks during which children will be randomized to treatment with Tencel vs. cotton therapeutic garments in addition to standard eczema care. The primary outcome will be eczema severity as assessed by EASI score by blinded and trained investigators. Secondary outcomes will include patient-reported eczema symptoms (assessed through quality of life and pruritus scales, CDQLI or IDQoL and ItchyQoL scores) and frequency of infection of eczema lesions. Adherence with wearing study garments and usage of standard eczema treatments (topical corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors, emollients, and wet/dry wraps) will also be assessed.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin disorder associated with a decreased ability of the skin to function as an efficient immunological barrier. The disease is now two to three times more prevalent in children than it was just four decades ago. It is manifested by eczematous skin lesions associated with severe itch, leading to a significant impairment in quality of life. Of additional importance, AD oftentimes progresses to allergic rhinitis and/or asthma, a process referred to as the "atopic march." Recent reports have indicated that daily application of moisturizing creams on neonates and infants can prevent the occurrence of AD and subsequently food allergies. This is postulated to be the outcome of restoring the barrier integrity of the skin through the daily application of moisturizer.
