About this study

Official title: Effect of Dietary Milk Phospholipids on Subjects With Atopic Dermatitis

The aim of the study is to investigate the influence of a milk phospholipid enriched dairy product on subjects with atopic dermatitis determining parameters of the immune status, the plasma lipid profile and the skin texture.

Read the detailed description

Based on the facts, that on the one hand milk phospholipids are characterized by a high sphingolipid content and on the other hand a disturbed sphingolipid metabolism in the epidermis of patients with atopic dermatitis was verified, a double blinded, controlled, randomized, cross-over study with a daily supplementation of 3 g milk phospholipids to subjects with a mild to moderate atopic dermatitis will be conducted.

Forty patients will be randomized between two groups of each 20 patients. After an individual checkup and a run-in period of 2 weeks, the one group will receive the phospholipid enriched dairy product and the second group will be given a placebo dairy product over two month. A wash out-period of 4 weeks will follow, and the patients will consume the contrary dairy products over two month after a 2-week run-in period again.

Being tested
milk phospholipid, diary product

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • milk phospholipidDietary supplement

    The patients will consume daily 250 mL of a dairy product, which is enriched with 3 g of milk phospholipids.

  • diary productDietary supplement

    The patients will consume daily 250 mL of a common dairy product.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing milk phospholipid and diary product in people with Dermatitis, Atopic, run by University of Jena 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 2 inclusion and 9 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 20 Jun 2012. 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. 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 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 skin texture from baseline and in comparison with placebo (time frame: after 0,2,10,16, and 24 weeks). 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 NCT01326520, 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 20 Jun 2012.
