This is a double-blind, randomized, vehicle-controlled, multi-center, parallel group Phase 3 study of MSRD-100 in the treatment of atopic dermatitis in subjects aged 3 months and up.
This study will determine the safety and efficacy of diluted bleach bath solution as final rinse on the reduction of Staphylococcus aureus colonization among children and adult Filipinos with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis..
The study will primarily focus on evaluating the benefits of using a lyocell/chitosan/ceramide fabric as a treatment for young children with mild or moderate eczema. More specifically, the study will focus on the upper limb area in these patients and will examine whether wearing a sleeve made from a lyocell/chitosan/ceramide fabric can improve eczema symptoms compared with wearing a cotton sleeve, no sleeve, or the lyocell / chitosan combination. Patients will be evaluated at 3 intervals over a 3-week period using the following four variables: an eczema severity index, amount of itching, bacteria levels in the affected areas of skin, and amount of water loss in the affected areas.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of Product 0405 in the Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis in Adolescent Subjects.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of product 0405 in pediatric subjects with Mild to Moderate Atopic Dermatitis.

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 Staphylococcal species such as Staphylococcus 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 study team will attempt to decrease S. aureus colonization and increase colonization by protective Staph species in AD patients by first culturing the bacteria on subjects' lesional AD skin. The study team will selectively grow the subject's protective Staph colonies and place them into a moisturizer. The first part of the study will determine the half-life of the bacteria-containing moisturizer. The bacteria-containing moisturizer will be applied to a subject's arm, and the subject will return at four different time points over the next three days for skin swabs of the arm that will be used to determine the amount and type of bacteria on the arm at those time points. In the second part of the study, the subject will apply moisturizer containing his own antimicrobial bacteria to one of his arms for a total of 6 times at a frequency determined by the half-life, which will be computed at the end of the first part of this experiment. The subject will return prior to the 7th application time point for skin swabs of the arm to ensure that there are still viable bacteria from the moisturizer present on the arm. In the third part of the study, each subject will receive both moisturizer as well as moisturizer plus his own antimicrobial bacteria. The subject will apply the moisturizer to one arm and the moisturizer plus bacteria to the other arm daily for a total of 15 days. Subjects will return to the clinic every 5 days for skin swabs and clinical evaluations. If the moisturizer containing bacteria is able to decrease the S. aureus colonization on subject's arms, the study team hypothesizes that subjects will have improvement of their AD symptoms.
The goal of the current investigation is to determine whether the inclusion of a parent/patient psychoeducational session in initial dermatology appointments with new pediatric atopic dermatitis patients affects (a) extent of medical follow-up, (b) patient's quality of life, and (c) parenting stress in comparison to treatment as usual for initial pediatric dermatology appointments for new pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis.
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) 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. First the investigator will culture the bacteria on subjects' lesional AD skin. The investigator will selectively grow the subject's antimicrobial Staph colonies and place them into a base moisturizer. The moisturizer plus bacteria will be applied to both of the subject's arms. Prior to applying this, though, one arm will first be pre-treated with an antimicrobial regiment of Dial liquid antibacterial soap and alcohol. We will then compare the abundance of antimicrobial Staph species on each subject's arms 24 hours later to determine whether the pre-treatment regimen increased survival of the transplanted antimicrobial Staph species. The investigator expects that the arm pre-treated with the antimicrobial regimen will have more antimicrobial Staph species at this time point.
