Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 4 to 30 months
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Infants aged from 4-30 months (inclusive) at the time of enrolment (63 in each group).
  • With mild to severe atopic symptoms: SCORAD ≥ 20 (at V0b).
  • Having obtained his/her (or his/her legal representative's) written Informed Consent.

Who cannot join

  • SCORAD inferior to 20 (SCORAD less than 20 at V0b). A SCORAD less than 20 at V0c is not an exclusion criteria.
  • Infants who need a systemic treatment for their skin condition (e.g. glucocorticoids, steroids, cyclosporine A).
  • Infants or mothers who introduce probiotics (other than the study product) in their diet during the 16-weeks intervention study. Of note: Infants or mothers who are used to consume a certain probiotic for more than 1 month before the start of the study (V0b), can continue to use this probiotic during the intervention period and will not be excluded. Recent introduction of probiotics, within a month before the planned start of the study (V0b) should be stopped and recorded; at least 1 month should be between stopping the consumption of the probiotic and V0b).
  • Infants having other inflammatory skin diseases (urticaria, psoriasis).
  • Infants having a congenital illness or malformation that may affect normal growth (especially immunodeficiency).
  • Infants whose parents/caregivers cannot be expected to comply with the study procedures.
Show all 10Show fewer
  • Infants currently participating or having participated in another clinical study during the last 4 weeks prior to the beginning of this study.
  • Infants using topical calcineurin inhibitors (e.g. tacrolimus and pimecrolimus (ELIDEL®)) during the study.
  • Infants who have undergone in the month before the start of the study (V0b), are currently undergoing or are anticipated to undergo ultraviolet light therapy or wet dressing or any other topical treatment of their eczema other than the one provided in the study. Lotion and skin moisturizer are allowed but need to be monitored for frequency and area.
  • The investigator and clinician will assess if the child has to be excluded based on the patient's medical condition and taken into account the values of the safety parameters tested. Therefore, no cut-off values, or normal ranges for the different safety parameters are exclusion criteria. It will be the responsibility of the investigator and clinician, based on their medical judgement, to decide if it is safe or not to include an infant into the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from Baseline SCORAD Score at 16 weeks of treatment

    SCORAD documented during the longitudinal observational period of 16 weeks after the subject has enrolled

    Measured: between 0 and 16 weeks of treatment

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Score A, B and C of the SCORAD

    Score A, B and C of the SCORAD The scores A, B and C of the SCORAD as well as the subcategories of the scores B and C will be analyzed separately (measured at V0c, V1, V2 and V3)

    Measured: 0, 4, 10 and 16 weeks of treatment

  2. Number and duration of atopic dermatitis episodes

    Number and duration of atopic dermatitis episodes The number of episodes of atopic dermatitis and the total number of days with symptoms during the 16 weeks intervention period

    Measured: during the 16 weeks intervention period

  3. Transepidermal water loss

    TEWL will be measured at V0, V1, V2 and V3 on 4 sites of both non-lesional and lesional appearing skin parts

    Measured: 0, 4, 10 and 16 weeks

  4. Topical treatment used

    Topical treatment used (sparing effect) The corticoid sparing effect of the ingredient will be assessed in the placebo and the ingredient group.

    Measured: during the 16 weeks of treatment

  5. total and specific IgE

    total and specific IgE

    Measured: 0 and 16 weeks

  6. Quality of Life

    The infants' dermatitis quality of life index (IDQOL) will be collected

    Measured: 0, 4, 10, 16 weeks and 1 and 4 years later

  7. assess the effect of the product on the safety parameters

    Biochemistry and Hematology parameters

    Measured: 0 and 16 weeks

  8. "Objective" SCORAD, which is composed of part A and B of the SCORAD (measured at V0, V1, V2 and V3)

    Measured: 0, 4, 10 and 16 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing GM080 and Maltodextrin in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by Société des Produits Nestlé (SPN) at 6 sites in Taiwan.

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 3 inclusion and 10 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 26 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Taiwan. 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 from Baseline SCORAD Score at 16 weeks of treatment (time frame: between 0 and 16 weeks of treatment). 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 26 Jan 2018.
