Adjunctive Oral Iron Supplementation in Atopic Dermatitis
2026年5月21日 更新者:Eglal Adel Mostafa Bassiouny、Cairo University
Adjunctive Oral Iron Supplementation in Atopic Dermatitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial
The present randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of adjunctive oral iron supplementation on disease severity and quality of life in adolescents with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.
In addition, the study will explore whether baseline iron status modifies treatment response and whether changes in iron biomarkers correlate with improvements in clinical severity scores.

描述
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adolescents aged 12 to 16 years.
- Diagnosis of atopic dermatitis according to Hanifin and Rajka or UK Working Party criteria.
- Mild to moderate disease defined as EASI score 1.1-7.0 for mild and 7.1-21.0 for moderate disease, according to the severity classification of Leshem et al. (2015).
- Stable standard-of-care topical therapy for at least two weeks prior to enrolment.
- Willingness to maintain baseline topical therapy throughout the study period.
- Written informed consent from a parent or legal guardian and assent from the participant will be obtained prior to enrolment.
Exclusion Criteria:
Iron-related exclusions
- Known iron overload disorders (e.g., hereditary hemochromatosis).
- Ferritin above age- and sex-specific upper reference limits for adolescents (based on local laboratory pediatric reference ranges) in the absence of elevated CRP.
Use of oral or intravenous iron supplementation within the previous three months.
Hematologic exclusions
- Haemoglobin less than 8 g/dL. Participants excluded on this basis will be referred to the haematology clinic for evaluation and management of severe anaemia, in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (Article 37).
- Known hemoglobinopathies (e.g., thalassemia major, sickle cell disease).
- Active bleeding or known bleeding disorders. Dermatologic exclusions
- Presence of other chronic inflammatory skin diseases that may interfere with assessment (e.g., psoriasis, bullous disorders).
- Active skin infection requiring systemic antibiotic therapy.
Use of systemic treatments for atopic dermatitis, including:
- Systemic corticosteroids
- Immunosuppressants
- Biologic therapies within the following washout periods: dupilumab ≥12-16 weeks; cyclosporine ≥4 weeks; methotrexate ≥4-6 weeks; systemic corticosteroids ≥2-4 weeks.
Systemic exclusions
Severe chronic illnesses that may affect study participation or safety, including:
- Advanced kidney disease
- Chronic liver disease
- Any other medical condition that, in the investigator's judgment, may interfere with study participation or outcomes.

武器和干预
参与者组/臂 |
干预/治疗 |
|---|---|
|
无干预:standard-of-care topical therapy (emollients and steroids)
Participants will receive standard-of-care topical therapy (emollients and steroids).
Standard topical therapies for atopic dermatitis will be continued and documented.
|
|
|
实验性的:standard-of-care topical therapy (emollients and steroids)+ Oral Iron
Participants will receive (Ferrodunal capsules providing 100 mg elemental oral iron once daily) in addition to standard-of-care topical therapy (emollients and steroids).
The 100 mg fixed dose falls within the recommended paediatric dosing range of 3-6 mg/kg/day for most adolescents weighing ≥20 kg.
Iron supplementation will be discontinued if serum ferritin exceeds 300 ng/mL on two consecutive measurements.
