  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Observer-Blinded, Within Patient Bilateral Comparison to Study the Safety and Efficacy of Daily Application for 4 Weeks of DBI-001 Gel Versus Aqueous Gel in Subjects With Atopic Dermatitis

The purpose for this study is to assess the Safety and Efficacy of Daily Application for 4 weeks of DBI-001 Gel Versus Aqueous Gel in Subjects with Atopic Dermatitis

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, observer blinded, Aqueous Gel-controlled, within-patient, bilateral comparison trial examining the effect of daily application for 4 weeks of DBI-001 Gel vs. Aqueous Gel on the clinical Atopic Dermatitis Severity Index (ADSI) scores and the abundance of Staphylococcus aureus of comparable bilateral target sites of Atopic Dermatitis (AD), as well as signs and symptoms of local tolerability on treated sites in subjects.

Subjects meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria and having moderate to severe AD lesions at screening and baseline/Day 1 will be enrolled into the study.

In an observer-blinded fashion, each subject will have two sites randomly assigned to have either DBI-001 Gel or Aqueous Gel applied to the designated treatment targeted sites.

After Screening, Study visits will occur at Day 1 Baseline then Days 7 (±2), 14 (±2), 21 (±2), 28 (±2), 35 (±4), and 42 (±4)

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Individual Signs and Symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis

    Change from baseline in individual signs and symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis (components of the ADSI score) at days 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42 of sites treated with DBI-001 Gel or Aqueous Gel Atopic Dermatitis Severity Index: The ADSI score represents the sum of the individual severity scores of none, mild, moderate, or severe for the following component signs and symptoms: erythema, pruritus, exudation, excoriation, and lichenification. To calculate the ADSI score, the component scores are added together.

    Scale for the individual components:

    0=none

    1. mild
    2. moderate
    3. severe

    Measured: 42 days of participation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing DBI-001 and Aqueous gel in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by DermBiont, Inc. at 3 sites in United States.

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 22 inclusion and 15 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Nov 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change From Baseline in Individual Signs and Symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis (time frame: 42 days of participation). 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 8 Nov 2023.
