Evaluation of a Non-Invasive Device for Early Detection of Atopic Dermatitis Flares (Detect-AD)

June 9, 2026 updated by: Castle Biosciences Incorporated

Evaluation of a Non-Invasive Device for Early Detection of Flares in Adults and Adolescents With Atopic Dermatitis

This study will collect skin measurements from people with atopic dermatitis (AD) using the investigational Nevisense Go device. Participants aged 12 to 89 years with a history of AD flares will use the device at home for about 90 days. Participants will complete device measurements, electronic diary entries, and up to five in-person study visits. The study is based on the idea that changes in skin barrier function may occur before an AD flare becomes visible or symptoms begin. Information collected during the study, including device measurements, diary entries, and investigator assessments, will be used to evaluate whether these changes may help estimate the likelihood of an AD flare before visible signs or symptoms occur.

Study Overview

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

Atopic dermatitis (AD), also called eczema, is a skin condition associated with repeated periods of worsening symptoms known as flares. Researchers believe that changes in skin barrier function may occur before visible skin changes or symptoms develop. The investigational Nevisense Go device uses Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), which measures electrical properties of the skin related to skin barrier function. Previous studies using EIS have shown associations between impedance measurements and skin barrier changes in AD. This study will collect EIS measurements from affected and unaffected skin over time to evaluate whether these measurements may help estimate the likelihood of AD flare onset before visible signs or symptoms occur. The study is observational because device measurements will not be used to guide participant treatment or clinical care during study participation.

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

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The study population includes adolescents and adults aged 12 to 89 years with a documented diagnosis of atopic dermatitis and a recent history of disease flares. The multicenter design is intended to support enrollment of a demographically diverse participant population representative of individuals with atopic dermatitis in the United States.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Participants may be eligible if they:

  • Are 12 to 89 years old.
  • Have been diagnosed with atopic dermatitis (eczema).
  • Have had at least one atopic dermatitis flare within the past 2 months.
  • Are willing and able to use the Nevisense Go device at home, complete an electronic symptom diary, and attend study visits.
  • If currently using systemic treatment for atopic dermatitis, have been on the same treatment for at least 3 months and do not plan to change treatment during the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

Participants may not be eligible if they:

  • Are unwilling or unable to avoid applying creams, lotions, ointments, or soap to measurement areas for 6 hours before measurements.
  • Do not have suitable skin areas for study measurements.
  • Have another skin condition that may affect study assessments.
  • Are pregnant.

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

Relationship between skin measurements and subsequent atopic dermatitis flares
Time Frame: Measurements taken over 90 days, 5 days a week
Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurements collected over time to assess their relationship to subsequent participant-reported atopic dermatitis flares occurring before visible signs or symptoms are apparent.

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.
