Treatment of Staphylococcus Aureus Colonization in Hand Eczema

Hand Eczema Clinical Trial

Official title:
An Investigator-Initiated Study: Treatment of Staphylococcus Aureus Colonization in Hand Eczema Decreases Severity of Disease

Clinical Trial Summary

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic disease characterized by itching and eczematous lesions. In adults, eczema commonly localizes to the hands or feet. Several studies have implicated bacterial contamination, especially with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), to be a factor in atopic dermatitis, as infection with this bacteria correlates with disease severity. No trial to date has investigated how to treat S. aureus infection in adults with hand or hand/foot dermatitis. Using retapamulin ointment in the nose and on the hands or hands/feet, the investigators expect to have a significant clearance rate of s. aureus infection. The investigators believe that treating the bacterial infection along with treating the condition with a topical corticosteroid will significantly decrease the severity of hand/foot dermatitis in our study population.

Clinical Trial Description

Primary Study Objectives: 1. To evaluate the efficacy of retapamulin 1% ointment with clobetasol propionate 0.05% foam versus vehicle ointment with clobetasol propionate 0.05% foam as a treatment regimen for hand or hand/foot atopic dermatitis. 2. To evaluate the incidence of intranasal and hand/foot S aureus carriage rates in subjects with hand/foot atopic dermatitis via cultures of an anterior nare and the most severely graded target lesion of the hand/foot dermatitis. 3. To evaluate the incidence of mupirocin-resistance and methicillin-resistance in S aureus isolates in subjects with hand/foot atopic dermatitis via cultures of an anterior nare and the most severely graded target lesion of the hand/foot dermatitis. Primary and secondary endpoints will be analyzed by appropriate statistical models by a qualified statistician. Any results of this pilot study will be treated as exploratory and hypothesis generating. ;
