Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 258366 0
To establish the safety and tolerability of the rHuB[beta]D2 cream in comparison to the placebo cream.
Timepoint [1] 258366 0
All treatment sites will be assessed by the study doctor at each clinic visit and patient asked to provide responses to tolerability questions. For Stage 1 and 2 this will be every day for the duration of the stage. For Stage 3 this will be approximately every second day for 14 days.
Primary outcome [2] 258367 0
To compare the change in the local dermatitis score SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) at the treatment sites of the rHuB[beta]D2 cream and the placebo cream between the start of treatment (day 0) and the end of treatment (day 14). SCORAD efficacy assessed at Stage 3 approximately every second day
Timepoint [2] 258367 0
SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD)of intensity items will be taken at each timepoint for each treatment site
Primary outcome [3] 258368 0
To assess the change in the Staphylococcus aureus colonization rate at the treatment sites between the start of treatment (day 0) and the end of treatment (day 14).
Timepoint [3] 258368 0
For Stage 3, a bacterial swab of the affected area will be taken at baseline and Day 14 to test for Staphylococcus aureus.
Secondary outcome [1] 264099 0
To assess the change in the colonization rate of any bacteria at the treatment sites between the start of treatment (day 0) and the end of treatment (day 14).
Timepoint [1] 264099 0
For Stage 3, a bacterial swab of the affected area will be taken to test for Staphylococcus aureus.
Secondary outcome [2] 264100 0
To compare the symptomatic relief of the rHuB[beta]D2 cream and the placebo cream as assessed by the patient using a Likert scale.
Timepoint [2] 264100 0
Patients will perform a 5-point scale to assess the symptomatic relief of all treatment sites at all timepoints.
