What is being measured

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

  1. Change of acute flares of eczema in patients with chronic atopic dermatitis (AD)

    Clinical evaluation by dermatologist on each visit and daily log statements by the parents.

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Change of Atopic Dermatitis using the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI)

    Clinical evaluation by dermatologist on each visit. Minimum value: 0; maximum value:72. Higher scores mean worse outcome.

    Measured: 0-30, 31-60, 61-90 and 91-120 days of treatment

  2. Change of Atopic Dermatitis using the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA)

    Clinical evaluation by dermatologist on each visit. Minimum value: 0; maximum value:4. Higher scores mean worse outcome.

    Measured: 0-30, 31-60, 61-90 and 91-120 days of treatment

  3. Tolerance of the study product or placebo

    Collection of treatment-related adverse events during the study

    Measured: 0-30, 31-60, 61-90 and 91-120 days of treatment

  4. Change of stratum corneum (SC) hydration.

    Measurement performed with -Corneometer® CM825 (Courage + Khazaka) and MPACT + software (Monaderm). Subjects must not have applied anything to the forearms on the morning of the measurements. Subject acclimatize for at least 15 minutes in the lab under standardised conditions, with bare test area: - room temperature: 20-22°C;

    • relative humidity: 40-60%. Dry skin area (the same in all visits): the most recommended area are the forearms (avoid flare-up areas). Minimum value: 0; maximum value:60. Higher scores mean better outcome.

    Measured: 0-30, 31-60, 61-90 and 91-120 days of treatment

  5. Change on the trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL).

    Measurement performs with - Tewameter® TM Hex (Courage \& Khazaka) and MPACT + software (Monaderm). Subjects must not have applied anything to the forearms on the morning of the measurements. Subject acclimatize for at least 15 minutes in the lab under standardised conditions, with bare test area: - room temperature: 20-22°C;

    • relative humidity: 40-60%. Dry skin area (the same in all visits): the most recommended area are the forearms (avoid flare-up areas). Minimum value: 0; maximum value:20. Higher scores mean worse outcome.

    Measured: 0-30, 31-60, 61-90 and 91-120 days of treatment

  6. Change on the pH.

    Measurement perform with LAQUA pHmeter PHD72G. Subject must not have applied anything to the forearms on the morning of the measurements. Subject acclimatize for at least 15 minutes in the lab under standardised conditions, with bare test area: - room temperature: 20-22°C;

    • relative humidity: 40-60%. Dry skin area (the same in all visits): the most recommended area are the forearms (avoid flare-up areas). Minimum value: 0; maximum value:14. pH higher than 5,9 or lower than 4,5 scores mean worse outcome.

    Measured: 0-30, 31-60, 61-90 and 91-120 days of treatment

  7. Change on itching

    Interview by dermatologist on each visit. Minimum value: 0; maximum value:10. Higher scores mean worse outcome.

    Measured: 0-30, 31-60, 61-90 and 91-120 days of treatment

  8. Change on sleep disturbances.

    Interview by dermatologist on each visit. Minimum value: 0; maximum value:10. Higher scores mean worse outcome.

    Measured: 0-30, 31-60, 61-90 and 91-120 days of treatment

  9. Change on quality of life.

    Cardiff quality of life questionnaires fill in by subjects or parents according to age range. The total score is calculated by summing the score of each question, resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired. The questionnaires can also be expressed as a percentage of the maximum possible score of 30.

    Measured: 0-30, 31-60, 61-90 and 91-120 days of treatment

  10. Subjective appreciation of efficacy and acceptability by the parent(s)/legal representative(s) and/or their child.

    Questionnaire fill in by representative(s) and/or their child. Score from "totally agree" to "totally disagree". "Totally agree" and "agree" are considered positive answers (in percentage). Somewhat agree and and totally disagree are considered negative answers (in percentage). The questionnaires are expressed as a percentage.

    Measured: 120 days
