About this study

Official title: Bilateral Comparison Study of Elidel® (Pimecrolimus) Cream 1% and Hylatopic™ Plus Emollient Foam™ Emollient Foam in the Treatment of Subjects With Atopic Dermatitis

This is an investigator-blinded, bilateral comparison study in 30 subjects with atopic dermatitis. It is designed to assess and compare the efficacy of Elidel® (pimecrolimus) cream 1% and Hylatopic™ Plus Emollient Foam™ in subjects with atopic dermatitis. Subjects will apply Elidel® (pimecrolimus) cream 1% twice daily for four weeks on a chosen target eczematous area located on one side of the body and then apply Hylatopic™ Plus Emollient Foam™ three times daily on a symmetrical target eczematous area on the opposite side of the body. A randomized list will be created to determine which side the subject applies each medication.

Subjects will be consented prior to any study evaluations or procedures. After signing the consent and meeting all inclusion/exclusion criteria, qualified and enrolled subjects will apply study medication (Elidel® and Hylatopic™ Plus Emollient Foam™) to chosen affected areas for four weeks. Photography will be used to record the location of target lesions at the baseline, week two and week four/final visits. Subject's disease status will be assessed by two methods: 1) Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) and 2) Target Lesion Symptom Score (TLSS) (see sections V.B.2 and V.B.3). PGA as well as TLSS will be made at baseline (Day 0), week two (Day 14 +/- 2 days) and week 4/final visit (Day 28 +/- 2days) visits for each of the target lesions. Half scales (i.e. 0.5, 1.5) will not be used. The presence or absence of skin atrophy and telangiectasias will be noted at each study visit as well.

Additionally, subjects' self-assessments of their perception of degree of disease and itching severity control will be collected at each visit for each target lesion. This assessment will be made using a four point scale and Itch Severity Scale (visual analogue score) respectively (see section V.B.4). Lastly, subjects will take a Product Preference Survey at week 4/final visit (Day 28 +/- 2days). Parents (or guardians) will moderate Product Preference Surveys for subjects that are younger than 12 years of age.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Elidel (pimecrolimus cream, 1%) Hylatopic Plus Emollient Foam (non-medicated device) in people with Eczema and Atopic Dermatitis, run by Frankel, Amylynne, M.D. 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 7 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 15 Apr 2011. 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?

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?

Improvement and maintenance of PGA, TLSS, and subjective eczema control of Hylatopic Plus Emollient Foam versus Elidel Cream (time frame: 26 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 15 Apr 2011.
