Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this study, it will be investigated if symptoms of atopic dermatitis of children with high familial risk will be delayed beyond the 6th or even 12th month of life by applying the SanaCutan Basiscreme.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Enrolled healthy newborns with high risk for atopic dermatitis will be 1:1 randomised into treatment and control group. The treatment group receives the SanaCutan Basiscreme for twice daily skin application until the age of 6 months (main phase; half of them until the age of 12 months (main + follow-up phase)), whereas the control group should avoid skin care products. Guardians of both groups are requested to document all applied skin care products in a diary. In regular visits at the study sites, a blinded physician investigates the skin of the children. In case of an atopic dermatitis (= atopic dermatitis has to be diagnosed in at least two visits with an interval of at least four weeks), the severity will be examined (SCORAD) and the treatment with SanaCutan Basiscreme will be terminated. All children will be followed up until the age of 6 months (end of main phase). This is the time when a blood test will be conducted to determine sensitization against food and inhalant allergens and total IgE. If children do not develop an atopic dermatitis in the main phase, the study continues until they receive the diagnosis (up to a maximum of 12 months, end of follow-up phase).

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Prospective, randomized, non-treatment-controlled, investigator-blinded, multicenter, 2-arm parallel group study (main phase: from inclusion until 6 months of age with treatment group and control group (without treatment) according to 1:1 randomisation; follow-up phase: 6-12 months of age in which only half of the children from the treatment group is treated according to initial 1:1 randomisation)

Investigators

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Treatment group

Children of the treatment group receive the cream "SanaCutan Basiscreme". The cream's main ingredients are white soft paraffin and liquid paraffin and it is already approved for the treatment of several skin diseases due to its skin care effect.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

SanaCutan Basiscreme

Intervention Type DRUG

In this study, the SanaCutan Basiscreme will be used as a cream for twice daily application on the whole body (eyes and mucous membranes have to be omitted) for a duration of 6 months (main phase) or 12 months (main + follow-up phase) or less (if the child develops atopic dermatitis).

Control group

Children of the control group should avoid regular skincare applications. Skincare is not prohibited, however, it is recommended to use products only in urgent cases.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
