Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing a new medication called SCD-044 to see if it can help people with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis by reducing symptoms like itching and inflammation.

Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. Please consult with the trial coordinators for more details.

How is the drug SCD-044 for eczema different from other treatments?

SCD-044 is unique because it involves multiple dosage levels being tested, which may help determine the most effective dose for treating eczema. Unlike standard treatments like topical corticosteroids or systemic immunosuppressants, SCD-044's specific mechanism of action and its potential benefits over existing therapies are still being explored in clinical trials.12345

Findings from Research

In a study involving 100 patients with eczema/atopic dermatitis, clocortolone pivalate 0.1% cream was found to be significantly more effective than a placebo in all measured outcomes, both objective and subjective.
The treatment was well-tolerated with no adverse reactions reported, indicating a high level of safety and excellent patient acceptance for both the active and placebo creams.
