About this study

Official title: IL-4 & Insulin Resistance in Patients With Atopic Dermatitis

The purpose of this study is to better understand the interactions between the innate immune system, in particular eosinophils, their secreted cytokines (interleukin-4), and metabolism in human health and disease states such as obesity and insulin resistance.

Read the detailed description

Patients with a body mass index (BMI) less than 30 kg/m2 and a history of atopic dermatitis on long-term (greater than 6 months) treatment with dupilumab. Researchers will compare in vivo evaluations of insulin sensitivity in subjects on dupilumab vs subjects matched for similar weight and BMI, with atopic dermatitis, but without dupilumab therapy (phototherapy).

Being tested
Dupilumab, Photo therapy
Medical subject headings
Dermatitis, Atopic

What participants receive

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

  • DupilumabDrug

    dupilumab injections will be prescribed and managed by dermatology as standard of care

  • Photo therapyOther

    Also called light therapy

    light therapy will be prescribed and managed by dermatology as standard of care

What is being measured

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

  1. Homa IR

    Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance will be calculated by multiplying the fasting glucose concentration (mg/dl) by the fasting insulin concentration (mmol/L).

    Measured: baseline

  2. Matsuda Index

    The Matsuda index is able to estimate peripheral insulin sensitivity by computing the product of glucose and insulin collected during the OGTT.

    Measured: baseline

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Adipo-IR

    Adipo-IR will be calculated by multiplying the fasting FFA concentration (mmol/L) by the fasting insulin concentration (pmol/L) obtained during the baseline blood collection during the oral glucose tolerance test

    Measured: baseline

  2. Systemic inflammatory markers

    Circulating plasma levels of inflammatory markers interleukin 1 (IL1), Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa), highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein 1 (MCP1), interleukin 6 (IL-6), Interleukin 4 (IL-4) and interleukin 13 (IL13)

    Measured: baseline

  3. Adipokines

    We will measure the plasma levels of adipokines (leptin and adiponectin) by radioimmunoassay and ELISA in all subjects recruited and compared across study group

    Measured: baseline

  4. Fasting Free Fatty Acid

    During the OGTT, we will collect fasting blood to assess levels of plasma free fatty acid (mmol/L). These values will be compared across the 2 different group studied.

    Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Dupilumab and Photo therapy in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site 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 4 inclusion and 12 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 26 Feb 2024. 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 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. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Homa IR (time frame: baseline). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 26 Feb 2024.
