About this study
Official title: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Intervention Study of the Efficacy and Safety of "NFM proBio65" in the Atopic and Allergic Volunteers
The aim of this study was to assess the clinical effect of Lactobacillus sakei supplementation in children with atopic dermatitis.
Read the detailed description
Probiotics were also shown to reduce severity of AEDS when administered to infants with early onset AEDS. In contrast, only a few studies have evaluated the therapeutic effectiveness of probiotics on the groups of older children with established AEDS. In these studies, administration of Lactobacillus strains to unselected children aged 1 year and over was associated with improvement in the clinical severity of eczema. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy in AEDS of a newly identified probiotic strain, Lactobacillus sakei KCTC 10755BP, which showed the most potent inhibitory activity against S aureus growth among Lactobacillus species in our preliminary experiment. We administered L sakei to an unselected group of children aged 2 to 10 years with moderate and severe AEDS and evaluated the clinical outcome at the end of the intervention. In addition, we also measured levels of serum chemokines as activity markers for AEDS to provide a more objective evidence for the beneficial role of this probiotic.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing probiotic L sakei KCTC 10755BP in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by Chungbuk National University at 1 site in South Korea.
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 3 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 May 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in South Korea. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
SCORAD score (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 5 May 2009.
