Trial on Vascular Inflammation in Atopic Dermatitis

December 17, 2018 updated by: Innovaderm Research Inc.

Vascular Inflammation and Coronary Atherosclerosis Risks in Subjects With Atopic Dermatitis

A total of 30 subjects with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Thirty subjects without AD matched for sex, age and coronary artery disease risk factor with the AD subjects will also be included. All subjects will undergo the following imaging procedures: a 18FDG-PET to quantify vascular inflammation in the ascending aorta and carotids and a MDCT to calculate the Agatston score. Skin and blood biomarkers will also be assessed.
