About this study

Official title: Randomised Controlled, Double Blind Trial of Topical Twice Weekly Fluticasone Propionate Maintenance Treatment to Reduce Risk of Relapse in Mild or Moderate Atopic Dermatitis in Children

The relapsing nature of atopic dermatitis (AD) presents a challenge for its long-term treatment. Efficacy and safety of corticosteroids have been proven in the acute treatment of AD, but not its efficacy and security to reduce or prevent relapses.

Objectives To investigate long-term management (16 weeks) of AD with fluticasone propionate (FP) 0,05% cream twice weekly in addition to an emollient (vehicle) after stabilization of an acute flare of AD with FP cream.

Read the detailed description

Patients 2-10 years of age with a history of mild to moderate AD will be eligible for this multicentre, randomized, double-blind, controlled study if they present an acute flare of AD (<30% affected body surface area; no head). After successful treatment of the flare in an acute phase, patients will receive either, FP twice weekly plus vehicle or vehicle alone over a 16-week maintenance phase. The primary study end point will be probability of a relapse of AD occurring. We will conduct survivor analysis of results.

What is being measured

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

  1. Relapse in Atopic Dermatitis (AD).

    The primary study end point will be probability of a relapse of AD occurring (the relapse rate of AD).

    Measured: 16 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Time to relapse

    The number of days from start of the Fluticasone propionate treatment in Double-blind Maintenance Phase (DMP) until AD relapse.

    Measured: 16 weeks

  2. Incidence of relapse

    The proportion of children experiencing a relapse of AD during DMP.

    Measured: 16 weeks

  3. severity of the relapse

    Severity of AD was scored by means of the modified Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis system (SCORAD).The difference of SCORAD intensity between initial values, Open-label Stabilization Phase (OSP), and end values (end of DMP)

    Measured: 16 weeks

  4. Adverse events and adverse effects

    Safety was assessed by monitoring adverse events and adverse effects throughout the study.

    Measured: 22 weeks

  5. Therapeutic compliance

    To describe the therapeutic compliance by means of the control of the drug used.

    Measured: 18 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Fluticasone, cream in people with Dermatitis, Atopic, run by Elena Rubio Gomis at 4 sites in Spain.

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 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jan 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Spain. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Patient recruitment is very slow, economic grant has ended and the number of patients is enough according to sample size (22 children/ arm).). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Relapse in Atopic Dermatitis (AD). (time frame: 16 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 9 Jan 2015.
