Epiceram™ Device Versus Mid-Strength Topical Steroid (Fluticasone Propionate 0.05%) for Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis
February 5, 2008 updated by: Ceragenix Pharmaceuticals
Prospective, Randomized, Investigator-Blind, Controlled, Pilot Study Comparing Effect of Epiceram™ Device vs Standard of Care Therapy of Mid-Strength Topical Steroid (Fluticasone Propionate 0.05%) in Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis in Pediatric Subjects
Novel therapies for AD that avoid immunosuppression and potential carcinogensis are needed.
EpiCeram™ , a topical cream, represents a novel class of therapy for skin disorders that does not contain corticosteroids or other anti-inflammatory drugs.
The objective of the present study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of EpiCeram ™ in the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis as compared to mid-strength topical steroid cream following twice daily dosing for four weeks in pediatric patients with AD.
The potential benefit to patients lies in the potential for EpiCeram ™ to provide restoration of the normal skin barrier as shown in previous studies and eliminate or reduce the requirement for supplemental topical steroid administration.
