Filter by:There is a lack of prospective scientific data on the regular use of moisturizers in patients at risk of developing atopic dermatitis. Although generally accepted and widely used for secondary prevention, emollients have not been studied as a primary prevention strategy. Strategies previously studied for the prevention of atopic dermatitis include maternal and child's dietary manipulations, allergens avoidance, delay of food introduction, exclusive breastfeeding and probiotic supplementation. Despite years of research, none of those strategies yielded to strong evidence of a protective effect. There is therefore a need to explore novel strategies. There is a need to compare the cumulative incidence rate of atopic dermatitis in newborns using a standard bathing and moisturizing routine with a good moisturizer to a non interventional group. This 2-year study will recruit approximately four hundred and sixty (460) pregnant women with a first degree relative of the child to be born who currently has (or previously had) a diagnosis of atopic dermatitis in order to study approximately 200 eligible newborns in each of the two study groups at the beginning of the study. Pregnant women will be randomized (1:1) to either daily use of the moisturizer Lipikar Balm AP (applied to their infant) starting from birth (Group 1) immediately after bathing or to no intervention (Group 2).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of JNJ-39758979 in adult Japanese patients with moderate, active atopic dermatitis.
The purpose of this Phase Ib study is to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of LEO 29102 2,5 mg/g cream when treating atopic dermatitis (AD) lesions from 10 up to 100% of the body surface area (BSA) twice daily (BID) for 7 days (Cohorts I, II, III) and from 10% up to 50% of BSA (bid) for 6 weeks (Cohort IV). This trial will be performed in four cohorts. Cohort I, II and III includes patients with a larger BSA that increases from one cohort to the next. After each cohort (Cohort I, II)a blinded evaluation of the safety and tolerability data will assess whether a stepwise increase in the percentage of "to be treated BSA" is justified. Cohort IV will start dosing after finalisation of Cohort II and after submission of data from Cohort I and II to the national authority and IEC for review.
In this controlled crossover study we aim to compare the efficacy of narrow-band UVB (NB-UVB) with bath-PUVA and NB-UVB plus salt water baths in atopic dermatitis.
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin disease characterized by a defective skin barrier, inflammation, and increased propensity for skin infections. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is primarily acquired through local production in the skin after ultraviolet light exposure but can also be obtained through natural and supplemental dietary sources. This randomized controlled trial will examine the effects of vitamin D repletion on atopic dermatitis severity in patients with diagnosed deficiency. The investigators hypothesize that pediatric patients with moderate or severe atopic dermatitis and vitamin D deficiency will have improved cutaneous disease after treatment with high dose as compared to standard dose vitamin D.
Background: - Radiation and chemotherapy treatments for anal cancer can cause irritation of the skin that can lead to redness and tenderness, and in some cases can be so severe that it results in blistering or peeling of the skin during treatment. These conditions cause discomfort and may require breaks from radiation treatment. Researchers are interested in determining whether MTS-01, a drug that protects cells and tissues from the effects of radiation, can be given before radiation treatment to prevent these side effects and reduce the irritation of the skin during chemotherapy and radiation for anal cancer. Objectives: - To determine the safety and effectiveness of topical MTS-01 given before radiation in the groin and gluteal cleft of patients receiving combined radiation and chemotherapy for anal cancer. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with cancer of the anal canal and are eligible to receive radiation and chemotherapy treatments. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical examination, medical history, blood tests, imaging studies and physical examination of the anal canal, and biopsies as needed to evaluate eligibility for treatment. - Participants will be scheduled for radiation and chemotherapy treatments on the following schedule: - Radiation given 5 days per week for 6 weeks, with topical MTS-01 treatment on the skin in the groin areas and between the buttocks before each treatment - Mitomycin C given intravenously on days 1 and 29 of treatment - 5-Fluorouracil given intravenously over 4 days (first week and fifth week) during radiation treatment - Participants will be monitored throughout the treatment for side effects, with photographs of the treatment area and frequent blood tests. - Following the end of radiation, participants will have followup visits for 1 year with blood tests and imaging studies to evaluate the response to treatment.
The goal of this research is to demonstrate the use of petroleum jelly in prevention of nonscalp seborrheic dermatitis exacerbations at the first signs of a flare. In doing so, it will decrease the chronic use of topical steroids. The use of petrolatum should have favorable outcomes for patients, without the side-effects.
The purpose of this study is to determine if twice weekly 10 minute dilute bleach baths decreases disease severity in patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin disease with pruritus as one of its main features. Because of the symptomatic nature of their condition, pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis may preferentially seek care in the subspecialty dermatology clinic while falling behind in visits to their primary care provider. This cross-sectional study in patients attending the Dermatology Clinic at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin will screen for common conditions associated with atopic dermatitis and subsequently treat or refer patients for appropriate care. The investigators hypothesize that Milwaukee County pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis will have a high prevalence of asthma needing treatment, missed immunizations requiring catch-up, and vitamin D deficiency necessitating replacement therapy.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the comparative efficacy, safety and efficiency of ciclosporin microemulsion and alitretinoin in adults with severe atopic hand dermatitis.
