Filter by:This is a phase IIa, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center proof-of-concept (POC) study in subjects with moderate to severe Atopic Dermatitis.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin condition that may cause a rash and itching due to inflammation of the skin. Therapies spread over the skin may not be enough to control the AD in trial participants who require systemic anti-inflammatory treatment. This study evaluates the dosing flexibility of upadacitinib in adult participants with moderate to severe AD. Adverse events and change in the disease activity will be assessed. Upadacitinib is an approved drug for the treatment of moderate to severe/active immune-mediated inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's Disease (CD), and AD. The study is comprised of a 35-day Screening Period, a 12-week double-blind period and a 12-week single-blind period. During the double-blind period, participants are placed in 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms and will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive upadacitinib. At 12 weeks during the single blind period, participants will be blinded to the upadacitinib dose based on their EASI response and reassigned to in 1 of 4 arms. After the last study visit, there is a 30-day follow-up visit. Approximately 454 adult participants ages 18 to 64 with moderate to severe AD who are candidates for systemic therapy will be enrolled at up to 160 sites worldwide. The study is comprised of a 12-week double-blind period, followed by a 12-week single-blind period. Participants will receive upadacitinib oral tablets once daily for up to 24 weeks. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care (due to study procedures). Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether bacterial decolonization of the nares and skin, topical steroid therapy, or a combination of the two regimens prior to treatment with radiotherapy (RT) for breast and head and neck cancer patients can prevent grade 2 or higher grade radiation dermatitis (RD) graded via the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) scale and improve quality of life.
Objectives: The study subjects were 180 healthy people from the dermatology clinic of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University and the surroundingcommunity, including 120 AD patients (60 in the ICBT treatment group and 60 in the control group) and 60 healthy controls. Methodology: After obtaining the informed consent of the subjects, the general condition and clinical symptoms of the subjects were assessed, the cognitive and psychological characteristics of the subjects who met the inclusion were assessed, multimodality MRI was scanned and blood and saliva samples were collected. The same assessments and data collection were performed with healthy controls matched for age, sex, and years of education in the AD patient group. AD patients were randomly assigned to the ICBT intervention group (n = 60) by a random number table and immediately started ICBT adjuvant therapy, or the control group (n = 60) for conventional therapy. Clinical symptoms and cognitive psychological characteristics of AD patients were assessed at the end of 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 6 months and 12 months of ICBT treatment, and cognitive behavioral task measurements, multimodality magnetic resonance scans, blood and saliva samples will be performed again at the follow-up time point at the end of 6 months. Healthy controls (60) will also undergo a full set of follow-up assessments again after 6 months.
The aim of the study is to deliver a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms used by S. epidermidis strains in their adhesion and colonization on the stratum corneum across a broad spectrum of atopic dermatitis in mild to moderate conditions in adult patients.
Psoriasis and atopic dermatitis are multifactorial inflammatory dermatoses, with a very high prevalence, reaching more than 120 million patients in the world. Although the physiopathological mechanisms are not yet clearly defined, these inflammatory dermatoses involve an interaction between the immune system and the epidermal cells, severe skin inflammation and often very intense pruritus. The objectives of an effective management should be to treat lesions in order to reduce them, but also to reduce itching and allow the patients to accept and cope with their pathology, without neglecting an improvement in the "Dermatology Life Quality Index" (DLQI) and in the psychological state, sometimes depressive, of the patient. Itching is defined as "a feeling that needs to be scratched urgently" and can cause significant distress along with pain. It severely impacts the quality of life and the quality of sleep. Chronic itching is associated with increased stress, anxiety, and other mood disorders. In turn, stress and anxiety exacerbate the itching, leading to a vicious cycle of pruritus - scratching that affects patient behavior (excessive scratching) and worsens disease prognosis and quality of life. Much research over the past few decades has demonstrated the effect of mindfulness meditation on emotional and cognitive responsiveness, cognitive flexibility, rumination, self-compassion and mindfulness, but also on acute pain, anxiety, stress, depression, cardiovascular disease, eating disorders, cancer and cognitive loss with age. Several studies have shown the impact of mindfulness on brain function and immunity, with evidence for the association between mindfulness and changes in the levels of markers characteristic of immune system activity and inflammation, known to be increased in psoriasis or atopic dermatitis. The objective is to evaluate the effect of mental training in the regulation of stress and emotions through mindfulness meditation in patients with moderate, itchy atopic dermatitis or psoriasis, not treated with systemic agents (e.g.: biotherapies). This project is based on the premise that mental training in the regulation of stress and emotions through meditation would reduce the effects of the infernal itch-scratch cycle, alleviating pruritus, thus improving the well-being and mental health of patients while reducing their inflammatory skin lesions and limiting the appearance of new lesions.
The study will investigate if Anakinra can ameliorate allergic contact dermatitis in participants with known nickel allergy
This study is intended to be a cross over study. Subjects will treat one hand while the contralateral hand acts as a control. At the end of 6 weeks the subject will be instructed to cease treatment of the test hand and commence treatment of the control hand for 6 weeks. Efficacy will be evaluated at 6 weeks after the beginning of the treatment and 12 weeks (end of crossover).
This is a multi-center randomized controlled trial to evaluate two different methods of reinforcing surgical port site closure: 2-Octylcyanoacrylate and n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate.
This is a single group, Phase 2, long-term extension study for treatment. The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and efficacy of amlitelimab in treated adult participants with moderate to severe AD who have previously been enrolled in an amlitelimab clinical trial. Visits during the on-treatment period will be at Week 0, 1, 2, 4 and every 4 weeks (Q4W) thereafter. If remote visits are considered appropriate for participants instead of clinic visits at the timepoints indicated in the schedule of activities (SoA) participants/caregivers/legally authorized representatives (LAR) are allowed to perform participant-injections at home according to the schedule of dosing. This decision is at the discretion of the investigator.
