Filter by:Atopic dermatitis is the most common chronic inflammatory skin condition worldwide and in Singapore. There is a significant impact on the quality of life as well as psychosocial burden on the patient and family. Emollients are one of the cornerstones in the treatment of atopic dermatitis and are frequently prescribed with topical anti-inflammatories such as topical corticosteroids or topical calcineurin inhibitors to be used during active flares. Emollients that have additional anti-inflammatory properties may be able to reduce usage of topical corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors. In this study the investigators hope to evaluate the use of a patented ceramide dominant emollient which sustainably lowers the skin pH (Ceradan ® Advanced Cream, Hyphens Pharma, Singapore) with a commonly prescribed emollient in Singapore (Basic Aqua Cream, ICM Pharma, Singapore) for the treatment of moderate atopic dermatitis in children and adolescents.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common chronic inflammatory skin disorder, with a lifetime prevalence of 15-25% in children and 1-3% in adults worldwide. AD is a heterogeneous disease induced by multiple factors, including genetic mutation and environmental risk factors. The main inflammatory mechanism that contributed to AD is the immune response mediated by T helper 2 (Th2) cells. The clinical features of AD, such as recurrent eczematous lesions, IgE-mediated intense itch, and the disruption of skin barrier induced by abnormal epidermal cell differentiation and protein structures, etc., can be attributed to the secretion of Th2 cell-related cytokines. AD is likely to be a lifelong illness with repeated onsets, causing not only physiological discomfort but also psychological distress; hence the quality of life of AD patients is inevitably affected. Lactic acid is a natural moisturizing factor, which exists in healthy skin. It can efficiently prevent water loss from the skin and alleviate allergic reactions caused by dry skin. The moisturized function of lactic acid has made it became a commonly used additive in a wide variety of skincare products, such as lotion, cream, butter and spray. This product is rich in natural lactic acid generated by the fermentation of probiotics, and therefore can relieve skin itching caused by skin dryness, and resume the water-holding capability of the skin by removing abnormally proliferative stratum corneum as well as inducing collagen production. Importantly, this product is a steroid-free product with safety and without any induced adverse effects in use. This product is also can be a promising option other than steroids to be applied for the mitigation of recurrent symptoms in atopic dermatitis by resuming the water-retention ability of skin and rebuilding skin barrier function.
Hypothesis/Objective : Patient-centered health care and shared decision making are key components of increasing importance which are recommended by the French Haute Autorite de Sante (HAS) and World Health Organization (WHO). In the context of dermatology and atopic dermatitis, European guidelines has promoted an active involvement from both patients and caregivers in therapeutic decisions at all stages to achieve therapeutic success and the Task Force on Atopic Dermatitis (ETFAD) has promoted the setting of treatment goals in a shared decision with the patient. The main objective of this study is to develop and cross culturally validate a tool dedicated to shared-decision in atopic dermatitis that can be used during routine dermatological consultations. The second objective is to better characterize patients seen in this context and to evaluate patients' satisfaction when empowered by shared decision. Method : We aim to develop a SDMt in AD following the recommendations of the International Patient Decision Aid Standards (IPDAS) collaboration. Development will use a multistep approach: 1) identification of priority domains for patients; 2) Selection of domains to be included in the SDMt for AD; and 3) Creation and testing of the SDMt. Participants will be consecutive adult (>18 years old) patients attending consultation for a AD in medical centres in France (Toulouse, Nantes and Créteil). All participants will provide written consent to participate. The study will be submitted for approbation to the local ethics committees of the University Hospital Centres of Paris and will be conducted according to the Declaration of Helsinki. Step 1: Identification of priority domains for patients Step 2: Selection of domains to be included in the SDMt for AD Step 3: Creation and testing of the SDMt
Single center, prospective, Open label study of sleep, pruritus and circadian function pre/post 12-weeks of dupilumab treatment in children 6-17 years old
This comparative study analyzes the efficacy and safety of treatment of children from 6 years of age suffering from moderate to severe atopic dermatitis using an inhibitor of IL4, IL13 and classical immunosuppressants.
This is a Phase Ia/Ib Study of MH004 in Healthy Adult Volunteers, participants with Mild to Moderate Atopic Dermatitis and participants with Mild to Moderate Rheumatoid Arthritis.
A multi-center, open, long-term follow-up study to Evaluate the Safety and Explore the Efficacy of Multiple Doses of FURESTEM-AD inj. for Moderate to Severe Chronic Atopic Dermatitis: 5-year Results from the K0104 Extension Study
Conduct a clinical trial of integration of Chinese and Western medicine to evaluate whether the association of traditional Chinese medicine therapy has a remission effect on atopic dermatitis, and to explore the remission of lesions after an association of Chinese herbal medicine, and the correlation of syndrome differentiation types before and after treatment with Chinese and Western medicine, with a view to better understand the efficacy of atopic dermatitis in the treatment of the same disease in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and provide another option for patients with atopic dermatitis.
Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a skin condition characterized by symmetrically distributed widespread, pruritic nodules that occurs in patients with chronic pruritus. There are 2 subtypes of PN depending on the association with an atopic dermatitis (AD) : atopic PN (Besnier) and non-atopic PN (Hyde). There are no approved therapies, and treatment options currently used have limited efficacy and their long-term use carries the risk of potential severe toxic effects. The mechanisms triggering PN are still unknown. However, recent findings suggest a major role for the Th2 inflammatory pathway. Beyond advancing the basic understanding of PN pathophysiology, our study might also pave the way for developing novel Th2-targeted therapeutic strategies for PN and AD. The primary objective of this study is to characterize the transcriptional profile of the T lymphocytes isolated from skin samples from patients with PN. This study will allow a gain a deeper understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanism of PN, a better classification of its subtypes, as well as their physiopathologic link with AD. Moreover, it will help shape new effective and safe therapeutic approaches in these diseases which are important for optimal therapeutic management.
The investigators aimed to understand better the efficacy in a randomized, double-blind, intraindividual design trial in 66 participants with AD treated with SNG100, and 2 different strengths of topical steroids hydrocortisone and the medium potent mometasone furoate cream.
