What is being measured

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

  1. Check SCORAD index for severity of atopic dermatitis, symptom diary, blood cytokine and chemokine (IL-4,IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, total IgE, IFN-γ, TGF-β, TNF-α, and IgG4) after drug administration

    Measured: 6 weeks after patient recruitment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ATP mixed probiotics in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by Soonchunhyang University Hospital.

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 4 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jul 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Check SCORAD index for severity of atopic dermatitis, symptom diary, blood cytokine and chemokine (IL-4,IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, total IgE, IFN-γ, TGF-β, TNF-α, and IgG4) after drug administration (time frame: 6 weeks after patient recruitment). 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 21 Jul 2011.
