Seal, Stopping Eczema and Allergy Study
SEAL (Stopping Eczema and ALlergy) Study: Prevent the Allergic March by Enhancing the Skin Barrier
Study Overview
Status
Detailed Description
This is a randomized, controlled, parallel design, open-label phase 2 clinical study to compare the efficacy of the two proactive treatment arms versus the reactive arm, for the prevention of atopic dermatitis in children at high risk of food allergy. We will recruit 875 infants who have signs of dry skin or atopic dermatitis between 0-12 weeks of life.
The aim is to compare the effect of proactive sequential skin care, including the twice-daily use of a tri-lipid skin barrier cream (Epiceram) or moisturizer and proactive use of fluticasone propionate cream, against reactive AD therapy, to reduce the occurrence and severity of AD in early infancy and thereby prevent food allergy (FA).

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Control arm (Standard of care)
The study doctors will provide standard of care with routine reactive topical products for atopic dermatitis flares
|
Participants' eczema will be managed by their primary physician, i.e. standard of care with routine reactive topical products for atopic dermatitis flares.
|
Experimental: Active Intervention arm (proactive treatment)- Epiceram
Participants will receive proactive sequential skin care with the twice-daily use of a tri-lipid skin barrier cream (SBC).
Clinically apparent eczema in this group will be managed with a short course of topical steroids (fluticasone propionate cream and/or hydrocortisone).
|
The aim is to compare the effect of proactive sequential skin care, including the twice daily use of a tri-lipid skin barrier cream (Epiceram) and proactive use of fluticasone proprionate cream, against reactive AD therapy, to reduce the occurrence and severity of AD in early infancy and thereby prevent food allergy (FA).
Proactive use of fluticasone proprionate cream for inflammation of the skin, to reduce the occurrence and severity of AD in early infancy and thereby prevent food allergy (FA).
|
Experimental: Active Intervention arm (proactive treatment)- Moisturizer
Participants will receive proactive sequential skin care with the twice-daily use of a moisturizer.
Clinically apparent eczema in this group will be managed with a short course of topical steroids (fluticasone propionate cream and/or hydrocortisone).
