Impact of Increased Immunoglobulin E to Anti-herpes Simplex Virus -1 Innate Immune Responses in Atopic Dermatitis Patients With Eczema Herpeticum

March 4, 2021 updated by: National Jewish Health

Investigate the Impact of Increased IgE on Innate Anti-herpes Simplex Virus 1 Responses in the Eczema Herpeticum Patients

This study investigates whether blood monocytes' surface bound- immunoglobulin E affects the innate immune responses against herpes simplex viruses in atopic dermatitis patients with eczema herpeticum.

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

Some of atopic dermatitis patients (AD) have severe herpes simplex viral (HSV) infections, which could cause erosive skin lesions all over the body. This condition is termed as eczema herpeticum (ADEH+). Scientists have found that ADEH+ patients have significantly increased blood immunoglobulin (Ig) E compared to AD patients without eczema herpeticum and healthy people. Increased IgE in blood could bound to immune cells' surface, such as monocytes. Since monocytes serve as the first line defense to fight viral infection, their surface-bound IgE may interfere their anti-viral immune responses, and consequently results in more severe viral infections. The purpose of this study is to learn more about how increased IgE affect body's immune ability to fight herpes simplex viruses. This study includes three groups: AD patient without eczema herpeticum complication(ADEH-); AD patient with eczema herpeticum complication(ADEH+) and healthy controls. Study results will be compared between groups.

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

12 years to 61 years (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

  2. A history of AD without a history of eczema herpeticum, ADEH-, as diagnosed using Atopic Dermatitis Research Network Standard Diagnostic Criteria, and no first degree relatives with a history of EH.
  3. Non-atopic as diagnosed using Atopic Dermatitis Research Network Standard Diagnostic Criteria.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

    2. A history of AD without a history of eczema herpeticum, ADEH-, as diagnosed using Atopic Dermatitis Research Network Standard Diagnostic Criteria, and no first degree relatives with a history of EH.
    3. Non-atopic as diagnosed using Atopic Dermatitis Research Network Standard Diagnostic Criteria.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Inability or unwillingness of a participant to give written informed consent or comply with study protocol
  • Known or suspected immunosuppression
  • Severe concomitant illness(es)
  • Women of childbearing potential not using the contraception method(s) specified in this study (specify), as well as women who are breastfeeding
  • Known sensitivity to study drug(s) or class of study drug(s)
