February 7, 2017 updated by: Vifor Pharma

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).

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

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.

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

179

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

3 years to 3 years (Child)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Atopic Dermatitis (AD) flares over 9 months of treatment
Time Frame: 9 months
Comparison between experimental and Placebo arms in the number of AD flares
9 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
SCORAD Evolution over 9 months of treatment
Time Frame: 9 months
Comparison between experimental and Placebo arms in SCORAD evolution over 9 months of treatment
9 months
Area of eczema involvement
Time Frame: 9 months
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
9 months
Amount of corticosteroids used
Time Frame: 9 months
Comparison between experimental and Placebo arms in amount of corticosteroids used
9 months

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events
Time Frame: 9 months
