About this study

Official title: Comparison of Two Different Skin Creams and Their Effect on Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) in Pediatric and Adult Patients With Atopic Dermatitis: A Pilot Study

Prospective, single center, clinical pilot study to test the hypothesis that lipid rich EpiCeram® is superior in improving skin barrier function compared to Aveeno Daily Moisturising Sheer Hydration Lotion®.

Read the detailed description

Prospective, single center, clinical pilot study to test the hypothesis that lipid rich EpiCeram® is superior in improving skin barrier function compared to Aveeno Daily Moisturising Sheer Hydration Lotion®.

Primary Objective: To compare skin barrier function, assessed by TEWL AUC, between non-lesional areas of the skin treated with EpiCeram®, Aveeno Daily Moisturising Sheer Hydration Lotion® or no emollient use for one week.

Secondary Objectives: To assess lipid and protein profiles of skin tape strips from non-lesional skin, after a week of either EpiCeram®, Aveeno Daily Moisturising Sheer Hydration Lotion® or no treatment.

Exploratory Objectives :

  • To study whether the effects on TEWL on lesional and non-lesional skin persist 24 hours after cessation of therapy.
  • To evaluate whether baseline food and environmental allergy sensitization (assessed via skin prick testing during screening) affects the outcomes. See protocol section 3.1 for allergen details.
  • A central repository of blood samples will be stored for future use to assess plasma biomarkers to help characterize clinical outcome data.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing EpiCeram and Aveeno Daily Moisturising Sheer Hydration Lotion® in people with Dermatitis, Atopic, 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 4 inclusion and 9 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 8 Sep 2021. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Skin barrier function (time frame: 2 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 8 Sep 2021.
