March 16, 2020 updated by: Pedro Gutierrez Castrellon, Innovacion y Desarrollo de Estrategias en Salud

Topical Lactobacillus Reuteri DSM 17938 to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy on Children With Mild or Moderate Atopic Dermatitis

This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of the probiotic L. reuteri vs control product as an adjuvant for improving the skin appearance of children with mild or moderate atopic dermatitis. All children will receive the standard of care. Half of the children will receive topical L. reuteri in emollient, while the other half will receive the standard of care plus control product

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

AD if a very frequent allergic skin disorders in children. Produce a negative significant impact on quality of life and related costs. Recently the changes of skin microbiota had been related with inadequate evolution of atopic dermatitis.

L. reuteri had been identified with some effect to reduce skin inflammation and help to modulate inflammatory pathways on skin. Investigators expect using topical L. reuteri as adjuvant some improvement on skin appearance due to the mode of action previous referenced additionally to some potential changes on microbiome

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

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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures
