Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44144   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7325   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate the short term efficacy of the emollient V0034CR in addition to a moderately potent topical corticosteroid in the acute phase of treatment of atopic dermatitis, by reducing the disease severity.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and subsequent amendments thereto, the Good Clinical Practices (CPMP/ICH/135/95) and local legal regulations. An information letter was given to the parent(s) or guardian(s) of each patient to assist them with their decision. Parent(s) or guardian(s) signed a written consent form, which described the details and constraints of the study, as well as the right to withdraw at any point, anonymity, and the right to access the data. The parent(s) or guardian(s), the investigator each had a copy of the signed consent form, as well as the sponsor for which it was sealed in an envelope to maintain confidentiality.
    Background therapy
    Corticosteroid treatment was used by the parents on the lesions until complete resolution of the inflammatory signs, mainly the resolution of erythema. For their child's body and scalp washing, parents used the foaming gel Klorane* provided by the sponsor (one 250 mL bottle for 3 weeks; batch F727; expiry date: 10/2007). Way of life and cosmetic cares should not be changed. Food supplements that could modify the skin properties as well as swimming pool were not allowed.
    Evidence for comparator
    Due to the natural evolution of the disease, the parallel groups design was the only one adapted to the study purpose. Very few emollients have been evaluated double blind, thus contributing to the lack of proofs of their efficacy. In order to evaluate the benefit of the emollient V0034CR, placebo was mandatory and justified. Furthermore, the use of a placebo was ethically acceptable since all patients received an active treatment by corticosteroids for treating inflammatory signs.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    A total of 322 patients were included in the study and randomized in the two treatment groups (19 centres in 7 countries). Two patients (Vehicle group) prematurely withdrew without any treatment application and any evaluation after inclusion.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Patients, male or female infants, aged between 3 and 24 months, presenting with atopic dermatitis according to the diagnostic criteria of the UK Working party; with SCORAD 20 to 50; whose xerosis was > 1; requiring topical corticosteroid treatment, moderately potent, on the body and/or the face were screened.

    Blinding implementation details
    The study products as well as their packaging and labelling were rigorously identical. The investigator, the hospital pharmacist if appropriate, the study monitor had a set of blind sealed envelops corresponding to the treatments received and given to the patients. An envelope could be opened only in case of emergency and only if the knowledge of the product having been received was necessary to start appropriate treatment.

    Evolution of SCORAD between baseline and D22 (or endpoint)
    End point description
    The change in SCORAD between D1 and D22 was compared between treatment groups by a covariance analysis using the baseline SCORAD as a covariate with the treatment and the centre effects. Drop-outs patients were included in the analyses on the APTe population except for two patients with no available assessment of the main efficacy criterion. If the evaluation at Visit 4 (D22) was missing, it was replaced by the last evaluation on treatment (Last Observation Carried Forward).
