  • 4. Known sensitivity to any of the components of the study medication. 5. Washout of 4 weeks for topical treatments used on the six designated sites, including but not limited to: antibacterial products, anti-inflammatories (e.g. corticosteroids, tacrolimus, Pimecrolimus).

Washout of 4 weeks for systemic treatments for AD, including but not limited to corticosteroids (oral or intramuscular injections), systemic immunomodulators or immunosuppressive (e.g., methotrexate, cyclosporine, hydroxychloroquine), antibiotics (oral or injected, if required to treat a medical condition short duration of oral antibiotics (≤10 days) are permitted after randomization).
Show all 9Show fewer
  • 8. Spontaneously improving or rapidly deteriorating dermatitis of the antecubital fossa or popliteal fossa.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Observer-Blinded, Vehicle Controlled, Single Dose, Dose Escalating, Single Application Within-patient Bilateral Comparison to Study the Safety and Antimicrobial Efficacy of DBI-001 Gel Vs. Placebo

A Randomized, Observer-Blinded, Vehicle Controlled, Single Dose, Dose Escalating, Single Application Within-patient Bilateral Comparison. The goal is to determine the safety and tolerability of DBI-001 Gel vs. Placebo in Adults with Atopic Dermatitis (AD).

Read the detailed description

A Randomized, Observer-Blinded, Vehicle Controlled, Single Dose, Dose Escalating, Single Application Within-patient Bilateral Comparison. The goal is to determine the safety and tolerability of DBI-001 Gel vs. Placebo in Adults with Atopic Dermatitis and to determine the antibacterial effect of a single application of DBI-001 Gel on the abundance of S. aureus.

Tolerability will be evaluated through assessment of disease state severity and signs and symptoms of local tolerability (pain / burning / stinging, pruritus, erythema, edema, and scabbing / crusting) and review of adverse events. Any local skin reaction that requires use of a concomitant therapy or study discontinuation will be reported.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Local Tolerability Based on Scale Listed

    Tolerability will be evaluated through assessment of local signs and symptoms. Scoring for burning, stinging, pruritus, erythema, edema, scabbing or crusting. : 0+ none (complete absence), 1=slight (slight), 2=moderate (definitely present), 3=severe (marked, intense).

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and 14

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in S. aureus abundance

    Change in the abundance of S. aureus following a single application of DBI-001 Gel.

    Measured: 14 Days

Model description
A randomized, observer-blinded, vehicle controlled, single dose application, dose escalating bilateral comparison study of DBI-001 Gel vs. Placebo in the patients with Atopic Dermatitis (AD) affecting the antecubital areas and/or posterior popliteal areas. Subjects meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria and having moderate to heavy growth of S. aureus from a sample collected at screening from an area of dermatitis on at least one arm or at least one leg will be enrolled into the study. Microbiological samples will be collected from all the designated sites on the arms or leg and all subjects will be treated with a single application of the assigned test articles applied by the unblinded treating investigator at the baseline visit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing J. lividum in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by DermBiont, Inc. at 1 site in Dominican Republic.

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 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jun 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 Dominican Republic. 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 stopped early (reason given: Covid-19 has shut the clinic indefinitely). Results are not available in the source record.

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 in Local Tolerability Based on Scale Listed (time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and 14). 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 18 Jun 2021.
