Clinical Investigation on the Efficacy and Safety of Relizema Cream in Paedriatric Patients (YOUNG)

A Multicenter, Double Blind, Randomized, Vehiclecontrolled Clinical Study Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Relizema Cream in the Management of Atopic Dermatitis in Paediatric Patients.

The scope of this multicenter, double blind, randomized, vehicle-controlled clinical investigation is to evaluate and confirm the performance and safety of the Relizema cream in the improvement of the dermatitis severity in paediatric patients. The disease severity will be clinically measured through the Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) after 42 days of treatment.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Atopic Dermatitis
• Intervention / Treatment: Device: Relizema cram

Detailed Description

This is a Pre Market Study to evaluate and confirm the performance of the RelizemaTM cream in the improvement of the dermatitis severity, assessed through a clinical parameter, the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) at baseline and at Visit 3, compared to vehicle.

To evaluate the performance of the RelizemaTM cream, compared to placebo in the eczema improvement through the EASI.

The safety objectives is to evaluate the local and general tolerability of Relizema cream compared to placebo.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
To Evaluate and Confirm the Performance of the Relizema Cream in the Improvement of the Dermatitis Severity in Paediatric Patients.	The disease severity will be clinically measured through the Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) for dermatitis after 28 days of treatment, compared to vehicle.	28 days of treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
To Evaluate the Performance of the Relizema Cream, Compared to Placebo,	To evaluate the performance of the Relizema cream, compared to placebo, in the improvement of dermatitis severity (IGA) after 14 and 42 days of treatment	after 14 and 42 days of treatment, 42 days reported
To Evaluate the Eczema Improvement	To evaluate the eczema improvement through the EASI (Eczema Area and Severity Index) score	after 14, 28 and 42 days of treatment, reported after 42 days
To Evaluate the Media in Itching, Burning, Pain and Pruritus at Visits	To evaluate itching as reported by the patient at visits by the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS that is a numeric scale from 0 to 10, 0 is the best result, 10 is the worst), in the two treatment groups	after 14, 28 and 42 days of treatment, day 42 reported
To Evaluate Improvement in the Quality of Life (QoL) of the Subject Related to His/Her Dermatitis	To evaluate the QoL improvement of the patient related to his/her dermatitis, through the Children Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) questionnaire in the two treatment groups; The questionnaire asks for 10 questions, covering the following topics: symptoms, embarrassment, shopping and home care, clothes, social and leisure, sport, work or study, close relationships, treatment. Each question refers to the impact of the skin disease on the patient's life over the previous week. Each question is scored from 0 to 3, giving a possible score range from 0 (meaning no impact of skin disease on quality of life) to 30 (meaning maximum impact on quality of life). Global score: 0-1 = No effect on patient's life 2-5 = Small effect 6-10 = Moderate effect 11-20 = Very large effect 21-30 = Extremely large effect. The CDQLI was compiled by the patient at each visit. Young children were supported for the questionnaire compilation by the parents/guardian, if necessary)	after 14, 28 and 42 days of treatment, reported 42 days
To Evaluate the Patient's Adherence to Treatment	Units on a scale of partecipants with an improvement in the dermatitis severity	42 days
To Evaluate the Need of a Rescue Treatment (as Indicated by the Investigator) to Manage AD Flare;	To evaluate the need of a rescue treatment (as indicated by the Investigator) to manage AD flare;	42 days of treatment
To Evaluate the Patient's Global Evaluation of Performance of Relizema Cream, Compared to Placebo	To evaluate the patient's global evaluation on performance of the study product performed by means of a 7-items scale (where 1 = very much improved, 2 = improved, 3 = minimally improved, 4 = no change, 5 = minimally worse, 6 = worse, 7 = very much worse)	at the end of the study ( day 42)
