Who may be able to join

  • men and women aged 18 years or older;
  • two comparable treatment areas (difference in local SCORAD not greater than 3) on opposite extremities of 100 - 300 cm2 with at least one lesional region within each of these areas of ≥ 20 cm². Clinical condition of atopic eczema mild to moderate defined by a local SCORAD of at least 5 with

Show all 10Show fewer
  • Erlangen atopy score sum equal or higher than 10 points (3);
  • the physical examination must be without disease findings unless the investigator considers an abnormality to be irrelevant to the outcome of the study;
  • female patients of childbearing potential must either be surgically sterile (hysterectomy or tubal ligation) or agree to use a reliable method of contraception with a failure rate of less than 1 % per year when used consistently and correctly such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intra uterine devices [IUDs], sexual abstinence or vasectomized partner;
  • written informed consent obtained

Who cannot join

  • acne, suntan, eczema, hyperpigmentation or tattoos in the test areas;

  • evidence of drug or alcohol abuse;
  • pregnancy or nursing;
  • UV-therapy within 6 weeks before first treatment;

  • known allergic reactions to components of the study preparations, hypersensitivity against cetostearyl alcohol;
  • treatment with systemic or locally acting medications which might counter or influence the study aim (e.g. antihistamines or glucocorticosteroids) within two weeks before study day 1and throughout the study period (exception: asthma may be found in patients with atopic eczema, therefore inhalation with corticosteroids in patients with asthma accompanying atopic eczema will be allowed at a dose not exceeding 1 mg/day. The dosage should remain constant throughout the study period);
  • contraindications according to summary of product characteristics;
  • in the opinion of the investigator or physician performing the initial examination the patient should not participate in the study, e.g. due to probable noncompliance or inability to understand the study and give adequately informed consent;

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in total sum score of Clinical signs

    scoring of clinical parameters (erythema, edema, crusting, excoriation, lichenification, dryness, itching) will be performed on a 4 point scale by investigator, comparing data from baseline (day1) vs end of trial (day15)

    Measured: 15 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. change in skin hydration

    measurement will be performed by corneometry, comparing data from baseline (day1) vs end of trial (day15)

    Measured: 15 days

  2. Time dependancy of Skin penetration

    subject's 5 point assessment of perceived skin penetration will be performed for 2 hours after the first application

    Measured: 2 hours

  3. patient overall assessment

    patient's intraindividual 5 point assessment on product on perception will be performed at end of trial (day15)

    Measured: 15 days

  4. Number of skin reactions per patient as a measure of safety and tolerability

    scoring will be performed by investigator

    Measured: 15 days

  5. Number of Adverse Events per patients as a measure of safety and tolerability

    reporting will be performed by investigator

    Measured: Daily

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing LAS 41002 and Active in people with Atopic Eczema, run by Almirall, S.A. 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 10 inclusion and 12 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 12 Jul 2010. 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?

Change in total sum score of Clinical signs (time frame: 15 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01119313, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Jul 2010.
