Study of the Effectiveness and Safety of Desloratadine (Aerius) Syrup in Children With Allergic Skin Inflammation (P03475)

February 7, 2022 updated by: Organon and Co

Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of Desloratadine Syrup in Childhood Atopic Dermatitis

The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness and safety of desloratadine (Aerius) syrup in children with allergic skin inflammation. Patients took desloratadine syrup once a day for 28 days. Once a week, the doctor measured the patient's symptoms. This measurement is called SCORAD. The doctor also rated how much relief the patient got from treatment and recorded any side effects.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Children must be from >= 6 to < 12 years of age, of either sex and any race.
  • Children's parent(s) or legal representative(s) must demonstrate their willingness to participate in the study and comply with its procedures by signing an informed consent.
  • Children must be in general good health; i.e. they must be free of any clinically significant disease other than atopic dermatitis (AD) that would interfere with study evaluations.
  • Children's parent(s) or legal representative(s) must understand and be able to adhere to the dosing and visit schedule, and agree to report concomitant medications and adverse events to the Investigator or designee.
  • The diagnosis of AD will be performed according the Hanifin and Rajka criteria (Hanifin JM, Rajka G. Diagnostic features of atopic dermatitis. Acta Derm Venereol (Stockhr) 92 (suppl): 44-70, 1980): to be included in this study, children needed to manifest at least 3 major features and 3 minor features at visit 1 (day 1).
  • Children must be clinically symptomatic with AD at visit 1 (day 1). Disease severity will be estimated using the SCORAD Index (European task force on atopic dermatitis. Severity scoring of atopic dermatitis: the SCORAD Index. Dermatology 186: 23-31, 1993), and child must have a SCORAD Index at least >= 35.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Children who have not observed the designated washout period for any of the prohibited medications.
  • Children with bronchial asthma who require chronic use of inhaled or systemic corticosteroids.
  • Children with a history of hypersensitivity to desloratadine, or any of its excipients.
  • Children who have any current evidence of clinically significant hematopoietic, metabolic, cardiovascular, immunologic, neurologic, hematologic, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, psychiatric, or cerebrovascular, or any other disorder which, in the judgment of the Investigator, may interfere with the study evaluations or affect children safety.
  • A known lack or response to H1-antihistamines.
