About this study

Official title: Effect of Holly Mangrove Shower Gel Containing Acanthus Ebracteatus Vahl. on Skin Barrier Function in Atopic Dermatitis Patients

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic intermittent inflammatory skin disease. Currently, there are many cosmeceutical skin products in which their major action affects skin hydration and skin barrier function. In addition, there are some herbal medication remedies used for the treatment of skin diseases based on the knowledge of Thai traditional medicine. Patients with pruritic rash symptoms who attended the Center of Applied Thai Traditional Medicine, Siriraj Hospital, were prescribed the Holly Mangrove Shower Gel to use and on the follow-up appointment showed significant improvement. Nevertheless, the knowledge of using this herbal medication for treating pruritic skin rash so far has been categorized as folk wisdom and not been confirmed by any clinical-trial study on its efficacy and mechanism of action.

Research teams chose Holly Mangrove Shower Gel containing Acanthus ebracteatus Vahl to act as adjunctive for treating atopic dermatitis. Thus, for the purpose of studying the efficacy of Holly Mangrove Shower Gel containing Acanthus ebracteatus Vahl in improving the skin barrier function in atopic dermatitis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Holly Mangrove Shower Gel in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by Mahidol University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 2 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 16 Mar 2016. 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 Thailand. 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 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 of skin barrier function (time frame: baseline, 2 week). 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 16 Mar 2016.
