Evaluate Reversal of Pathological Epidermal Phenotype in Severe Atopic Dermatitis With Suppression of Immune Activation During Cyclosporine Therapy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cyclosporine A for Atopic Dermatitis and Eczema. Completed, enrolled 9 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Atopic Dermatitis (AD) or eczema is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disease that affects 1-3% of the adults and up to 25% of the children in the United States. Patients with severe AD will be studied during a 24-week study with systemic cyclosporine (Neoral, capsule form) to evaluate the immune suppression and pathological correlation of cyclosporine A in these patients in order to determine the extent to which immune activation drives the pathological epidermal phenotype.
