Study population: The study population includes adolescents and adults aged 12 to 89 years with a documented diagnosis of atopic dermatitis and a recent history of disease flares. The multicenter design is intended to support enrollment of a demographically diverse participant population representative of individuals with atopic dermatitis in the United States.
Who may be able to join
- Participants may be eligible if they:
- Are 12 to 89 years old.
- Have been diagnosed with atopic dermatitis (eczema).
- Have had at least one atopic dermatitis flare within the past 2 months.
- Are willing and able to use the Nevisense Go device at home, complete an electronic symptom diary, and attend study visits.
- If currently using systemic treatment for atopic dermatitis, have been on the same treatment for at least 3 months and do not plan to change treatment during the study.
Who cannot join
- Participants may not be eligible if they:
- Are unwilling or unable to avoid applying creams, lotions, ointments, or soap to measurement areas for 6 hours before measurements.
- Do not have suitable skin areas for study measurements.
- Have another skin condition that may affect study assessments.
- Are pregnant.

About this study
Official title: Evaluation of a Non-Invasive Device for Early Detection of Flares in Adults and Adolescents With Atopic Dermatitis
This study will collect skin measurements from people with atopic dermatitis (AD) using the investigational Nevisense Go device. Participants aged 12 to 89 years with a history of AD flares will use the device at home for about 90 days. Participants will complete device measurements, electronic diary entries, and up to five in-person study visits. The study is based on the idea that changes in skin barrier function may occur before an AD flare becomes visible or symptoms begin. Information collected during the study, including device measurements, diary entries, and investigator assessments, will be used to evaluate whether these changes may help estimate the likelihood of an AD flare before visible signs or symptoms occur.
Read the detailed description
Atopic dermatitis (AD), also called eczema, is a skin condition associated with repeated periods of worsening symptoms known as flares. Researchers believe that changes in skin barrier function may occur before visible skin changes or symptoms develop. The investigational Nevisense Go device uses Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), which measures electrical properties of the skin related to skin barrier function. Previous studies using EIS have shown associations between impedance measurements and skin barrier changes in AD. This study will collect EIS measurements from affected and unaffected skin over time to evaluate whether these measurements may help estimate the likelihood of AD flare onset before visible signs or symptoms occur. The study is observational because device measurements will not be used to guide participant treatment or clinical care during study participation.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Nevisense electrical impedance spectroscopyDevice
The NevisenseGo device will collect skin measurements from people with atopic dermatitis (AD) to see if it can effectively predict a flare in disease.
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Relationship between skin measurements and subsequent atopic dermatitis flares
Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurements collected over time to assess their relationship to subsequent participant-reported atopic dermatitis flares occurring before visible signs or symptoms are apparent.
Measured: Measurements taken over 90 days, 5 days a week
Develop and validate an algorithm using Nevisense Go EIS
To develop and validate an algorithm using Nevisense Go EIS data that can calculate the momentary likelihood of AD flares, before signs or symptoms
Measured: From enrollment until end of treatment at 90 days.
Secondary outcomes (5)
To assess the relationship between EIS measurements of skin and AD severity through a variety of patient-reported outcome measures, including itch severity and flare frequency.
Measured: From enrollment until end of study at 90 days
To assess the relationship between EIS measurements of skin and AD severity through a variety of clinician-reported outcome measures
Including Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI), Validated Investigator's Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD), and body surface area (BSA).
Measured: From time of enrollment until end of study at 90 days.
To assess the relationship between EIS measurements of skin and resolution of AD flares.
Measured: From enrollment until end of study at 90 days
To assess the feasibility of using the Nevisense Go device.
Measured: Enrollment to Day 90 (end of study)
To assess adherence to using the Nevisense Go device.
Measured: Enrollment to Day 90 (end of study)
