Trial summary

Background. Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD) is an inflammatory skin disease mediated by direct contact with allergens as nickel, the most common allergen, that may be related with epigenetic changes. Objective. Evaluate the miR-126 expression and its target VCAM-1, in the skin of patients with ACD to nickel. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Alteration of the microRNA-126 Expression: a Possible Mechanism in Allergic Contact Dermatitis to Nickel

Background. Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD) is an inflammatory skin disease mediated by direct contact with allergens as nickel, the most common allergen, that may be related with epigenetic changes.

Objective. Evaluate the miR-126 expression and its target VCAM-1, in the skin of patients with ACD to nickel.

Methods. Fifteen patients with positive patch test to nickel were included, and the expression of miR-126 and VCAM-1 was evaluated by RT-qPCR.

Read the detailed description

Patients that went to the dermatology and outpatient department of the Central Hospital "Dr. Ignacio Morones Prieto ", with a suspected diagnosis of nickel allergic contact dermatitis, were invited to participate in this study. Later, the objective and methodology of the study were explained to them, as well as the advantages of participating and the possible undesirable effects. All patients signed the informed consent previous perfom the medical history. After, the epicutaneous patch test was performed, and patients were divided according to the result them. Finally, under local anesthesia, two 3-mm punch biopsies, from lesional (positive parch test site) and adjacent non lesional skin, 10 cm apart, were performed. Tissues for reverse transcriptase real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analyses were stored frozen in sterile tubes at 80ºC until processing

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Allergic Contact Dermatitis, run by Universidad Autonoma de San Luis Potosí at 1 site in Mexico.

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 5 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 29 Apr 2020. 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 Mexico. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

Expression of miR-126 (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 NCT04365140, which also lists 3 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 29 Apr 2020.
