About this study

Official title: A Clinical Trial to Determine the Therapeutic Benefit of an Investigational Over-The-Counter Cream on Dry, Itchy Skin of Adults and Children With Atopic Dermatitis.

The objective of this 1 week trial is to evaluate the efficacy of an over-the-counter (OTC) 1% colloidal oatmeal skin protectant cream in adults and children with mild to moderate AD.

Read the detailed description

Approximately 60 subjects will be enrolled to ensure 52 subjects complete the study (39 subjects: active treatment and 13 subjects: positive control).

Adults and children (ages 12 and over) will receive either a marketed or not yet marketed investigational product for the treatment of eczema. Subjects will be asked to stop use of prescription and all eczema treatments 2 days before the start of the study and during the study. Subjects will apply study product as indicated for 7 days to affected areas.

Subjects will record treatment use in a daily diary and complete questionnaires. A dermatologist will examine and score the eczema and symptoms. Skin moisture levels will also be tested.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing EpiCeram Skin Barrier Emulsion and Experimental Product 1% Colloidal Oatmeal Balm in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. (J&JCI) at 2 sites 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 4 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 6 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Mar 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 in the Itch Assessment Score Immediately Following Treatment (time frame: Baseline to immediately following treatment). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 Mar 2017.
