Atopic Dermatitis Clinical Trials in Madison, WI

This is a Phase 1b, randomized, placebo/vehicle-controlled, double-blinded, multi-center trial. It is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of S. hominis A9 (ShA9) topical application as a treatment for atopic dermatitis (AD). The trial will enroll adults and adolescents with atopic dermatitis who are culture positive for S. aureus colonization. The primary safety objective of this study is to compare the safety profile of ShA9 to placebo (vehicle) over 14 weeks of application, which includes an initial two-week period of co-treatment with topical corticosteroids (TCS). The primary efficacy objective of this study is to assess the ability of ShA9, compared to placebo (vehicle), to prolong the period of atopic dermatitis control over 12 weeks after conclusion of an initial two-week period of co-treatment with TCS.

The goal of this study is to establish a birth cohort that collects prenatal and early life biosamples and environmental samples and rigorously phenotypes young children for food allergy and Atopic Dermatitis (AD) to identify prenatal and early life markers of high risk for food allergy and AD, as well as biological pathways (endotypes) that result in these conditions. Primary Objectives: * To study the role and interrelationships of established and novel clinical, environmental, biological, and genetic prenatal and early-life factors in the development and course of allergic diseases through age 3 years (or 6 years for those who choose to continue participation into SUNBEAM II), with an emphasis on atopic dermatitis and food allergy * To apply systems biology to identify mechanisms and biomarkers underlying the development of food allergy, atopic dermatitis, and their endotypes * To collect, process, and assay or store environmental and biological samples for current and future use in the study of allergic disease development Read Less
