Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to assess the degree of signal alterations or attenuation in formalin-fixed vs. fresh skin biopsy specimens of inflammatory skin disease, using molecular methods .

The purpose of this study is to compare radiation dermatitis severity in irradiated skin protected by an agent versus uncovered skin (internal control) based on photographs.

The objective of this study is to assess the metabolic effect of systemic inhibition of IL-4 signaling on insulin sensitivity in patients with atopic dermatitis by comparing in vivo evaluations of insulin sensitivity in subjects on dupilumab vs. subjects matched for similar adiposity, with atopic dermatitis, but without dupilumab therapy.

The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of ruxolitinib cream in children with atopic dermatitis.

The purpose of this extension study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of two dosage strengths of PF-04965842, 100 mg and 200 mg taken orally once daily, over approximately two years of study participation. Patients who meet safety step-down criteria will have their dose reduced once, from 200 mg QD to 100 mg QD, or from 100 mg QD to placebo.

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of REGN3500 monotherapy in atopic dermatitis (AD), as well as understand the dose-response relationship, compared with placebo treatment, in adult patients with moderate-to-severe AD.

This study is a 2-part (parts A and B) phase 2/3 study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and efficacy of dupilumab in patients 6 months to less than 6 years of age with severe atopic dermatitis (AD).

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is an association between atopic dermatitis and iron deficiency (low iron in the blood).  We are also looking at the relationship between atopic dermatitis, low iron, and sleep difficulty.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a specific and inexpensive topical approach to lowering the burden of flares in children with atopic dermatitis.  

The purpose of this study is to compare the assessment of the composition of the fecal, nasal,oral and skin microbiota in patients with AD (cases) as compared to age/sex and diet matched control children without atopic dermatitis, and to apply mass-spectrometry-based metabolomic approach to analyzing fecal, nasal, oral and skin samples from cases, in order to characterize their biochemical metabolic profiles by comparison with those of their controls.

The purpose of this study is to investigate PF-04965842 in patients aged 12 years and over with a minimum body weight of 40 kg who have moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.

The goal of this study is to objectively evaluate bone health and contributing factors in children with Atopic Dermatitis (AD). 

The purpose of this study is to:

1. To determine the response rates and toxicity in patients that have undergone skin directed radiation therapy for inflammatory cutaneous dermatoses.
2. To review and report the institutional experience, clinical responses, and recurrence rates after skin directed radiation therapy by varying dosing regimens and treatment regimens.
3. To gather information on technical innovations used in the treatment of inflammatory dermatoses with the goal of publishing our findings so that others can utilize techniques we have found to be useful in the treatment of particularly challenging cases.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the contribution of C. albicans to dysbiotic microbial communities of mucosal tissues in pediatric populations. Prospective sampling across multiples tissue sites in a pediatric cohort will be used to assess which tissues are colonized by C. albicans and associated with microbial dysbiosis seen in atopic dermitis.

We hypothesize presence of C. albicans in the microbial communities in early life is associated with atopy. We will assess the presence of C. albicans in the microbial communities of a population of children at-risk for atopic dermatitis compared to healthy controls who ...

The current clinical guidelines for management of atopic dermatitis now recommend bleach baths. This requires simply the addition of regular household bleach to twice-weekly baths. At the Mayo Clinic, dilute acetic acid (vinegar) has been recommended for decades in wet wraps to treat patients hospitalized for their atopic dermatitis. However, this practice has not been widely adopted in the pediatric dermatology community. Will the use of dilute acetic acid (vinegar) in twice weekly baths help manage atopic dermatitis in pediatric patients as well as, or better than, the current accepted guidelines?

The purpose of this study is to create a research registry of patients with Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Skin Conditions (IMISC) within academic and community, real-world practices in order to assess the safety and effectiveness of current and future therapies.

This study observes a liquid skin protectant that is a polymeric-cyanoacrylate solution designed to protect intact or damaged skin due to radiation.

The primary purpose of this study is to identify the therapeutic effect of Adipose-Induced Regeneration (AIR) in radiation-induced skin injury of post-mastectomy breast cancer patients.

The aim of this study is to examine alterations in the skin microbiome that occur during radiation therapy. The study design will examine changes secondary to ionizing radiation, and correlate these changes with the development and severity of radiation dermatitis. The goal is to improve understanding of the mechanism of radiation dermatitis.

The purpose of this study is to collect (i) pre-treatment (at the time of breast cancer surgery) normal skin and (ii) on-treatment (around the third week of treatment with breast radiation) irradiated skin with clinical hallmarks of radiation dermatitis (erythema and/or dry desquamation, documented by a photograph and graded by clinical criteria).

The purpose of this study is to identify the long-term occurrence of non-melanoma skin cancers in patients who had ultraviolet light therapy as a child in the years 1970 to 2000.

The aim of this study is to examine the role of mast cell mediators in children with allergic disorders in a two part study. Part 1 of the study will prospectively obtain the values of mast cell mediators, including 2,3 dinor 11β-PGF2α, n-MH, and LTE4 in the urine of a healthy pediatric reference population. Part 2 of the study will prospectively evaluate the urine concentrations of mast cell mediators in a cohort of pediatric allergic disorder patients including asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, eczema, urticaria, systemic anaphylaxis, and mast cell disorders, as well as POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). Comparisons of these ...
