Filter by:A double-blind study to evaluate the role of human microbiome and vitamin D in the development of atopic dermatitis.
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.
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.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin condition that may cause a rash and itching due to inflammation of the skin. Around one-third of patients with AD have had at least 1 incidence of prurigo nodularis (PN), which is characterized by intense, persistent itchy skin and sometimes pain with burning. In this study, the effectiveness of upadacitinib (UPA) will be assessed in participants with prurigo-type AD in a real world (RW) setting in Japan. UPA is an approved drug for the treatment of AD. Adults and adolescents who have been diagnosed with prurigo-type AD and prescribed UPA according to the label and practice in Japan will be enrolled in this observational study. The doctor's decision to prescribe UPA will be made prior to and independently of study participation. Approximately 200 participants will be enrolled in the study at 10 sites in Japan. Participants will receive extended-release oral tablets of UPA once-daily for 48 weeks. There will be no additional burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic.
A prospective case-control multicentric pilot study of 12 weeks duration to evaluate the effect of a probiotic mixture in the treatment of atopic dermatitis in children from 0 to 3 years old, by measuring the severity of the condition using the SCORAD index, as well as the Clinical Global Impression rating scale, the potential decrease in the use of corticosteroids and antihistamines, and the safety of the treatment under study by the number of adverse events related to the product under study.
The study was designed to collect information over 1800 patients with a clinical diagnosis of subacute or chronic eczema, these patients' prescriptions contain Hirudoid®. EASI, IGA and more indicators are evaluated. Data were collected for a maximum of 12 weeks according to the clinician's consultation and follow-up (Time points were set at baseline, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 and 12 weekends). The above data were analysed to explore the optimal treatment modality, dose and treatment period for patients with subacute or chronic eczema.
Forty patients with physician-identified atopic dermatitis will be enrolled in the study. All patients must be aged between 6 and 60 years old. All patients consumed fucoidan for 3 months.
This is a multi-center, longitudinal study which will characterize the gene expression profiles and transcriptomic endotypes that underlie mild and moderate-severe Atopic dermatitis (AD) and will determine changes in these expression patterns and endotypes in response to standard-of-care treatment. Participants will complete up to ten scheduled study visits with assessment of topical steroid response and dupilumab response (if uncontrolled with topical steroids). Skin samples will be collected at all study visits to determine the gene expression profiles and transcriptomic endotypes that underlie mild vs. moderate-severe AD disease. The investigators will also evaluate the lipidomic, metabolomic, proteomic, and microbiome profiles of AD skin endotypes associated with mild and moderate-severe AD disease. Non-AD participants will serve as a control population. The primary objective of this study is to determine if the type 2-high non-lesional skin (skin tape) endotype is associated with current mild versus moderate-severe AD disease.
This is a single-center, randomized, blinded, controlled trial assessing the effects on the skin microbiome in patients with eczema of amending a standard-of-care (SOC), over-the-counter (OTC) topical colloidal oatmeal formulation with a modified plant oil ("Activated Oil", AO)
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 will assess the real-world effectiveness of upadacitinib on adult participants with moderate-to-severe AD who are inadequate responders to dupilumab or who are discontinuing from dupilumab due to safety/tolerability reasons. This study also aims to understand upadacitinib utilization patterns in real-world clinical practice. In Canada, upadacitinib is indicated for the treatment of adults and adolescents 12 years of age and older with refractory moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) who are not adequately controlled with a systemic treatment (e.g., steroid or biologic) or when use of those therapies is inadvisable. CAN UpTIMISE will enroll approximately 100 adult participants, 18 years of age and above, with moderate-to-severe AD who are inadequate responders to dupilumab or are discontinuing from dupilumab from up to 25 sites in Canada. Participants will receive oral upadacitinib tablets as prescribed by the physician prior to enrolling in this study in accordance with the terms of the local marketing authorization and professional and reimbursement guidelines with regards to dose, population, and indication. The overall duration of the study is approximately 4 Months. Participants will attend regular visits per routine clinical practice. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, using questionnaires, and reporting potential side-effects.
