This pilot trial studies how well a novel oral therapeutic agent performs to treat patients with atopic dermatitis, particularly facial dermatitis.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Overall response rate of atopic dermatitis in subjects as assessed using Dermatology Life Quality Index (a 10 question questionnaire used to measure the impact of skin disease on the quality of life of an affected person)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. , Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI), Total Severity Scoring (TSS) II. Safety assessment after 8 weeks with 4 weeks of oral treatment. III. VAS (Visual Analogue Scale, an instrument for the assessment of pruritus) at baseline through eight weeks.

OUTLINE:

Patients receiving novel oral agent once a week for 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Being tested
Ivermectin Pill

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ivermectin Pill in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by Stanford University at 1 site 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 8 inclusion and 15 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2024. 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 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

DLQI (time frame: 8 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 2 Dec 2024.
