About this study

Official title: Treatment and Medical Care of Patients With Moderate-to-severe Atopic Dermatitis - Swiss National Clinical Registry TREATswitzerland

As structured and detailed data on the management of AD, a common chronic inflammatory skin disease which has a high impact on patients' quality of life and socioeconomic burden, are not available in Switzerland, the planned registry will overcome this gap. It will provide data on the medical care of patients with AD for health care research and allow to study the efficacy and safety of approved and available therapies for AD in daily life.

Read the detailed description

A prospective, non-interventional, national multicenter study in patients with moderate-to-severe AD. According to the availability of approved systemic drugs for the treatment of AD, the study will include children ≥12 years, adolescents and adult patients.

The general goal of the AD registry TREATswitzerland is to provide the scientific community with a disease-oriented prospective cohort of patients suffering from moderate-to-severe AD.

The primary objective of the AD registry is the documentation of medical care given to patients with moderate-to-severe AD in order to assess the appropriateness of care.

Further objectives of the AD registry are:

  1. to evaluate the psychosocial impact of AD;
  2. to provide up-to-date epidemiologic data that allow investigating risk factors for favorable or unfavorable disease courses and comorbidities; and
  3. to establish a research network and foster clinical research projects.

The study procedures include:

  • No study related intervention will be performed
  • Patients have to fulfill all inclusion criteria to be enrolled in the study.
  • Included patients are prospectively followed for at least 24 months. A maximum duration of follow-up is not intended.
  • During the observation period, standardized study visits are performed to prospectively document patient characteristics, clinical data, patient-reported outcomes, reasons for treatment decisions, and satisfaction with treatment.
Medical subject headings
Dermatitis, Atopic

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of the type of systemic therapy used in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis

    assess medical substances given systemically to treat AD

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. assessment of patients demographic data

    assess sex (male, female), age (years)

    Measured: 24 months

  2. assessment of past treatment and current treatment

    assess specific medical substances (name, dosage, duration of therapy, clinical effects, adverse effects)

    Measured: 24 months

  3. assessment of concomitant topical therapy for AD and concomitant treatment

    describe medical substances given for AD skin therapy (e.g. topical corticosteroids) and topical calcineurin inhibitors), and medical substances given for concomitant diseases

    Measured: 24 months

  4. assessment of past and current comorbidities

    describe diseases

    Measured: 24 months

  5. change in subjective and objective SCORAD (SCORing Atopic Dermatitis)

    outcome measure for disease severity

    Measured: 24 months

  6. change in EASI (Eczema Area and Severity Index)

    Investigator-assessed outcome measure for disease severity

    Measured: 24 months

  7. change in DLQI (Dermatology Life Quality Index)

    Patient-reported outcome measure for skin-related quality of life

    Measured: 24 months

  8. change in POEM (Patient Oriented Eczema Measure)

    Patient-reported outcome measure for atopic eczema severity

    Measured: 24 months

  9. change in RECAP (Recap of atopic eczema)

    Patient-reported outcome measure to capture eczema control

    Measured: 24 months
