  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Children of either gender, aged 3 to 24 months
  • Patients with a clinically confirmed diagnosis of AD (according to Hanifin and Rajka) of moderate severity (EASI 7.1 - 21.0) and lesions covering up to 30% of the body either assessed by Investigator at the Screening/Baseline visit or recently (<4 weeks prior to Screening/Baseline visit) documented by Investigator and pre-treated with TCS (within last 4 weeks prior to Screening/Baseline visit).

  • Specifically, any inflammatory skin conditions that are considered during the differential diagnosis of atopic dermatitis: allergic contact dermatitis, dermatographism, psoriasis, pityriasis alba.
  • Any chronic diseases (other than wheezing and asthmatic bronchitis) that require the administration of systemic corticosteroids (e.g., eosinophilic esophagitis) or immunosuppressant agents.
  • Significant medical condition(s), which, in the Investigator's opinion, are anticipated to require major surgery during the study, or any other type of disorder that might involve an increased risk to the subject, could interfere with study assessments or outcomes, or the ability of parents to comply with the study procedures (e.g. eDiary).
  • Infants and children with known allergy or previous intolerance/sensitivity to any of the trial treatments (IMP, AxMP or standardized emollient) to be administered.

About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-controlled, 32-week, Phase IIa Trial to Investigate the Efficacy of OM-85 Versus Matched Placebo in Reducing Disease Severity Children Aged 3 to 24 Months With Early Clinical Diagnosis of Moderate Atopic Dermatitis

Clinical data suggest that treatment with OM-85, by inducing an early contact with bacterial extracts, could modulate the immunity of children with Atopic Dermatitis, and thus play an active role in the treatment of Atopic Dermatitis.

The present trial will investigate the influence of administration of OM-85 in the paediatric population younger than 24 months with moderate atopic dermatitis.

The efficacy and safety of OM-85 will be evaluated in children aged 3 to 24 months old with moderate Atopic Dermatitis who may benefit from treatment with OM-85. The placebo treatment period will serve as a reference and has been added to establish efficacy and safety.

Read the detailed description

In this study, the efficacy of OM-85 versus matched placebo in children with moderate AD (Atopic Dermatitis) in reducing disease severity shall be evaluated.

Clinical data suggest that treatment with OM-85, by inducing an early contact with bacterial extracts, could modulate the immunity of children with AD, and thus play an active role in the treatment of AD.

This will be a multicenter, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled exploratory phase IIa trial to assess the efficacy and safety of daily oral administration of OM-85 or matched placebo in children aged 3 to 24 months for 24 weeks.

A total of 142 children with AD as defined by Hanifin and Rajka criteria and with moderate disease severity (EASI 7.1 - 21.0) at Screening will be enrolled into this trial in approximately 15 sites in Germany and potentially one additional European country. All screened subjects will receive a unique subject ID (Identification) number.

Eligible subjects will be randomized at 1:1 ratio, stratified by age (≤12 months vs. >12 months) and disease severity (EASI <16 vs. ≥16) to one of the two treatments. They will receive either OM-85 or placebo for a 24-week treatment period followed by an observational period of 8 weeks without investigational medicinal products (IMP).

The placebo will serve as reference in evaluating efficacy and safety of OM-85. The double blind, randomized trial design is selected to avoid bias concerning evaluation of the drug effects, including safety and efficacy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Broncho-Vaxom in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by OM Pharma SA at 28 sites in 4 countries.

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 14 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 8 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 28 sites in Germany, France, Poland, Netherlands. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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: Recommendation of DSMB (futility of Endpoints)). 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?

Disease severity (time frame: 16 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05222516, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Aug 2023.
