About this study

The purpose of this research study is to better understand adherence to Locoid when people use it to treat atopic dermatitis.

Read the detailed description

An investigator-blinded prospective study of subjects with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (>5% Body Surface area and 2 or 3 on the Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) scale). The drug will be used within FDA-approved labeling. Subjects will be randomized to each of the following topical hydrocortisone 17-butyrate 0.1% preparations- ointment, cream or lipocream- in the manufacturer's original tube fitted with a Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS) cap. This cap records dates and times the assembly is opened and this data can be downloaded and tabulated with the associated software.

The study will consist of a 2-week Treatment Phase (visits at Baseline and Week 2). Subjects will be instructed to apply the medication twice daily (morning and evening) for 2 weeks to all of their AD lesions.

Adherence will be measured by MEMs cap.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing hydrocortisone 17-butyrate 0.1% Cream preparation, hydrocortisone 17-butyrate 0.1% Ointment preparation and hydrocortisone 17-butyrate 0.1% Lipocream preparation in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by Wake Forest University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Mar 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adherence to Locoid (time frame: 2 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Sep 2018.
