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 12 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child

Study population: The investigators will recruit 20 children; 10 patients with moderate to severe AD and 10 healthy control subjects aged 4-12 (pre-puberty) years of age

Who may be able to join

  • Able to provide informed consent/assent.
  • Male or female, 4-12 years of age (prepuberty) inclusive at the time of consenting
  • Participant must be either:
  • Active atopic dermatitis with two areas of non-lesional AD within 5 cm of the measured lesional area within the same region.
  • OR
  • .No personal history or current manifestations of AD, food allergy, asthma, allergic rhinitis, and no positive prick or blood testing for allergen (based on self-report); and no evidence of dry skin or other skin condition

Who cannot join

  • Unable to provide consent or comply with the protocol
  • Presence of any skin condition that might compromise the stratum corneum barrier in infants and young children (e.g., ichthyosis, psoriasis, extensive seborrheic dermatitis, scabies)
  • History of any skin reaction to tape, or adhesives
  • Past or current medical problems or findings from physical examination or laboratory testing that are not listed above, which in the opinion of the investigator, may pose additional risks from participation in the study, may interfere with the participant's ability to comply with study requirements or that may impact the quality or interpretation of the data obtained from the study.
  • Use of any topical product (e.g., emollient, topical corticosteroids, topical immunomodulatory agents, topical antibiotics) on the area(s) to be tested within 24 hours before the study visit.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Novel Skin Tape Transcriptome Methods in Children With Atopic Dermatitis and Healthy Controls

This pilot study will evaluate new methods for the collection, storage, shipment, and RNA extraction of skin tape specimens from children with atopic dermatitis (AD) that will facilitate the multi-center SunBeam Birth Cohort study. Additionally, this pilot study will test new methods for the generation of whole transcriptome sequencing data from skin tape RNA and whether these data reflect the transcriptional state of the skin in health and disease.

Being tested
Skin tape strips
Medical subject headings
Dermatitis, Atopic

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Skin tape stripsOther

    Skin tape strips will be collected from lesional and non-lesional skin. Adhesive skin sampling discs will be firmly pressed against the skin in a hairless location (not the face) followed by lifting it free of the skin. These discs will then be used to evaluate proteins and lipids in the upper layers of skin.

What is being measured

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

  1. skin RNA sequence for (lesional (L) and non-lesional (NL)) Skin Tape Strips (STS)

    the novel skin tape transcriptome method will extract RNA; the outcome is to identify the difference in RNA sequence between lesional and non-lesional skin.

    Measured: through study completion, single visit with an average of 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atopic Dermatitis, run by National Jewish Health 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 6 inclusion and 5 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 13 Apr 2020. 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.

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 RNA sequence for (lesional (L) and non-lesional (NL)) Skin Tape Strips (STS) (time frame: through study completion, single visit with an average of 2 hours). 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 13 Apr 2020.
