What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Efficacy rate versus comparator and untreated skin

    Measured: After 29 days of twice daily applications

  2. Local side effects on the skin

    Measured: 29 days

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Local SCORAD as clinical assessment by means of the intensity items of the SCORAD index) at Visit 2 through Visit 6

    Measured: after 29 days

  2. Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) as a measure for skin barrier function at Visit 2 through Visit 6

    Measured: after 29 days

  3. Skin hydration by means of corneometry at visit 2 through visit 6

    Measured: after 29 days

  4. Erythema by means of chromametry at Visit 2 through Visit 6

    Measured: after 29 days

  5. Intensity of pruritus at each day of the dosing period (day 1- day 29) as reported in the patients diary and at Visit 2 through Vist 6 by means of visual analogue scale (VAS)

    Measured: after 29 days

  6. Incidence and severity of Adverse Event

    Measured: visit 2 (start of dosing period) till 6 weeks after end of treatment

  7. Vital signs

    Measured: visit1 and 6 weeks after end of treatment

  8. Local side effects

    Measured: visit 2 (start of dosing period) till 6 weeks after end of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sinecort cream, Hydrocortison cream and Untreated skin in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by Bayer at 1 site in Germany.

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 5 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 2 Apr 2014. 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 Germany. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Efficacy rate versus comparator and untreated skin (time frame: After 29 days of twice daily applications). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Apr 2014.
