7 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The primary hypothesis is that routine measurement of trans epidermal water loss (TEWL) rates and stratum corneum (SC) hydration levels will promote patient adherence to maintenance moisturizer therapy and prevent disease relapse. The project will consist of a trial in which thirty subjects with xerosis receive moisturizer therapy and are randomized to receive either no intervention, a weekly electronic survey to assess patient's response to daily moisturizer, or daily monitoring of the effectiveness of a moisturizer with a portable hydration measurement device. The study team will measure adherence to daily moisturizer use objectively in all three groups with electronic monitors attached to the containers of the moisturizer. The adherence measure will allow the study determine how well moisturizers work for xerosis when that are well used. The study team anticipate that in the no intervention group, adherence will be abysmal and that in the group reporting their response to treatment weekly, adherence will be much better. This will give the study team negative and positive controls for assessing the effect of home barrier monitoring on treatment adherence.
The purpose of the study is to compare the changes in the appearance of dry skin after the use various moisturizers: white petrolatum ointment, coconut oil, jojoba oil, and almond oil in patients with dry skin.
This was a placebo-controlled double-blinded trial to compare effects of 2% IDL lotion to placebo in female subjects with dry skin. Primary endpoints were skin hydration (NovaMeter) and transepidermal water loss (VapoMeter).
This research is being done to evaluate the role of a regular skin care regimen comprising of a mild soap and moisturizer in improving dry skin and overall skin health. In this study, the investigators hope to learn the importance of regular skin care regimen in improving dry skin and overall skin health.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about HT-001 Topical Gel for treatment of EGFR inhibitor-induced skin toxicities. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Determine the therapeutic effect of HT-001 for treatment of patients who develop acneiform rash undergoing Epidermal Growth Factor inhibitor (EGFRI) therapy using the acneiform rash investigator's global assessment scale \[ARIGA\] * Evaluate the safety of HT-001 during treatment Participants will apply HT-001 Gel once per day for 6 weeks, during which the effect on treating acneiform rash or other skin disorders induced by EGFRI therapy will be evaluated using different assessment tools to measure severity of rash, pain, and itching (pruritus), as well as the change in quality of life. The study will be completed in 2 periods: the first period is open-label (unblinded) and all patients will receive HT-001 topical gel with the active ingredient; the second period is blinded and patients will be randomized to receive one of three concentrations of HT-001 or placebo. Researchers will compare HT-001 to the placebo in the second period to see if HT-001 provides a significant treatment effect.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy (assessed by clinical evaluation of eczema/atopic lesion severity \[atopic dermatitis severity index {ADSI} scoring\] and perceived benefits in itch \[visual analog score {VAS} scoring\]) and tolerability (assessed by clinical grading) of an investigational spot treatment Gel Cream when used on a target site of participants with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.
This study will test the safety and efficacy of three topical agents containing oat kernel flour to determine how well they relieve skin dryness and itching related to cancer therapies. Participants will receive a body wash, a body cream, and an anti-itch balm to use at home for 4-6 weeks.
