Probiotic on Atopic Dermatitis in Infant

January 8, 2026 updated by: Hsieh-Hsun Ho, Glac Biotech Co., Ltd

Effects of Oral Bifidobacterium Longum CCFM1029 on Atopic Dermatitis in Infant

The clinical trial will be carried out in China Medical University Hospital. The overall plan is a double-blind trial. All recruited 3 months-3 years old atopic dermatitis (AD) patients are divided into two groups, 50 in each group and 100 in two groups. The two groups are placebo and Bifidobacterium longum CCFM1029. The entire evaluation plan lasts for 3 months. The number of probiotic bacteria is 5 billion per capsule, and the number of bacteria taken by the subjects is 5 billion per day (one capsule before bed each day). During the planning period, the eczema area and severity index (EASI) score of the patient's dermatitis was evaluated every month, and the score differences of dermatitis before and after taking probiotics was observed. In addition, subjects must perform two fecal samplings before and after the trial, and the isolated DNA was analyzed using the next-generation high-throughput sequencing method (NGS) for subject fecal flora changes. Comparing the two groups before and after taking the capsule, whether the intestinal flora changed. Statistical analysis of the relationship between changes in intestinal flora and the degree of AD. Through the above test, the investigators evaluated whether Bifidobacterium longum CCFM1029 can regulate the pediatric intestinal flora and relieve the inflammatory response in the body, thereby regulating atopic dermatitis.

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.

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

1 year to 3 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

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
Changes in eczema area and severity index (EASI) scores.
Time Frame: Before and 3-month intervention.
Changes in eczema area and severity index (EASI) scores were assessed before and 3 months of intervention. The minimum value is "0" and maximum value is "72", higher scores mean a worse outcome.
Before and 3-month intervention.

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.
