About this study

Official title: Multicentre, Randomised, Double Blind, Placebo-controlled Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Broncho-Vaxom (OM 85 BV) in Children Suffering From Atopic Dermatitis

The objective of this pilot double-blind study was to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of Broncho-Vaxom 1 capsule (3.5 mg) per day for 9 months compared to placebo on the evolution of the disease in children suffering from Atopic Dermatitis (AD).

Read the detailed description

Children outpatients of both sexes, aged 6 months to 7 years, with AD confirmed by Haniffin-Rajka or Williams et al, and an AD score (SCORAD) between 25 and 70 were included and followed for 9 months. Patients were randomized to receive either Broncho-Vaxom 1 capsule (3.5 mg) per day or the corresponding placebo over 9 months.

Children under general corticotherapy within one month of study start, patients with immunodeficiency, patient's affected body surface area less than 15% or greater than 70% or with known allergy to desonide were excluded.

Outcome measures were a comparisons between the two groups in the number of AD flares during the study after the first month of treatment. Secondary outcome measures were comparisons between the two groups based on SCORAD evolution, area of eczema, amount of corticoids used and parents/investigator assessments.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Broncho-VaxomDrug

    Also called Imocur, Broncho-Munal, Ommunal, Paxoral

    BV is an orally administered immunostimulating preparation, which consists of a lyophilised bacterial extract prepared from 8 bacterial species (Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Klebsiella pneumoniae and ozaenae, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes and viridans, Neisseria catarrhalis)

  • Placebo - CapDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Atopic Dermatitis (AD) flares over 9 months of treatment

    Comparison between experimental and Placebo arms in the number of AD flares

    Measured: 9 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. SCORAD Evolution over 9 months of treatment

    Comparison between experimental and Placebo arms in SCORAD evolution over 9 months of treatment

    Measured: 9 months

  2. Area of eczema involvement

    Comparison between experimental and Placebo arms in eczema involvement by measurement and recording of total body surface area affected at 3 monthly intervals as compared with baseline

    Measured: 9 months

  3. Amount of corticosteroids used

    Comparison between experimental and Placebo arms in amount of corticosteroids used

    Measured: 9 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Broncho-Vaxom in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by Vifor Pharma.

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 10 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 9 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Number of Atopic Dermatitis (AD) flares over 9 months of treatment (time frame: 9 months). 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 NCT03047954, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 9 Feb 2017.
