About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Non-Drug Interventional Study for the Technical Development and Validation of the Nocturnal Scratch Algorithm for Use in Future Programs

Sleep disturbance is very common in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) and is a major factor leading to impaired quality of life. Nocturnal scratching is one of the factors causing sleep disturbance in AD patients. This study aims to develop and validate a digital algorithm for accurately and reliably detecting and quantifying nocturnal scratch behaviors related to AD using wrist actigraphy data.

Wrist actigraphy is an investigational device being developed to detect and quantify scratching behaviors in patients with AD. This study will be conducted in 2 sequential stages: In Stage 1, an algorithm will be developed and in Stage 2 the algorithm developed will be validated. Adult healthy volunteers or participants with AD will be enrolled. Approximately 14 healthy volunteers, 14 AD patients with low disease activity and 28 AD patients with high disease activity will be enrolled in the study in 5 sites across the United States.

No drug will be administered as a part of this study.

Participants enrolled in this study may experience discomfort or inconvenience related to the study procedures. Participants will be enrolled and monitored overnight for two consecutive nights at an inpatient setting at a hospital or clinic. The impact of nocturnal scratching on sleep parameters will be assessed by videography, actigraphy, sleep headband and completing questionnaires.

Participants With Atopic Dermatitis (AD)ExperimentalParticipants with AD will be monitored overnight for two consecutive nights at an inpatient setting to collect wrist actigraphy and videography data. Sleep headband (at sites where polysomnography (PSG) is available and performed) data will be collected on Night 2. Participants will also be monitored at home via wrist actigraphy, sleep headband when available in the outpatient setting for 7 consecutive nights.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total Scratch Duration Per Night

    Total scratch duration per night (seconds/night) is measured by actigraphy and videography.

    Measured: Up to 10 Days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Scratching Events

    Number of scratching events are measured by actigraphy and videography

    Measured: Up to 10 Days

  2. Scratch Rate

    Scratch rate is measured by actigraphy.

    Measured: Up to 10 Days

  3. Scratch Duration

    Scratch duration is defined as percentage of total rest/sleep time as measured by actigraphy and videography

    Measured: Up to 10 Days

  4. Comparison of Actigraphy-Based Scratches to Videography-Based Scratches

    Actigraphy-based scratches, as determined by the final algorithm determined in Stage 1, will be compared to videography-based scratches over epoch in which scratch is scored by either actigraphy or videography (and ignoring epochs in which no scratch is scored by either method) over the sleep period.

    Measured: Up to 10 Days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Wrist Actigraphy Device and Sleep Headband in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by AbbVie at 3 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 15 inclusion and 3 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 15 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Strategic Considerations). 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?

Total Scratch Duration Per Night (time frame: Up to 10 Days). 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 15 Feb 2022.
