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

The topical therapy of eczema largely focuses on the use of topical medications but there is demand for topical moisturizers and ingredients that can reduce the need for topical steroids. The goal of this study is to assess the use of a natural ingredient, isosorbide diesters (IDEAS), for eczema and if it can reduce the need for the use of topical steroids.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Men and women aged 18 or over
  • Subjects with a diagnosis of mild to moderate eczema with a SCORAD between 1-50.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Individuals who have a known allergy to isosorbide diesters.
  • Individuals who have solely hand and/or foot eczema without evidence of eczema anywhere else on their body.
  • Individuals who have been on topical calcineurin inhibitors or crisaborole to the predetermined areas within two weeks of initiation of participation or unwilling to undergo a washout period.

Subjects who have been on cyclosporine, systemic steroids, or methotrexate in the month prior to initiation of study intervention or are unwilling to undergo a washout period. Subjects who have been on dupilumab in two months prior to initiation of study intervention or are unwilling to undergo a washout period.
