Study summary

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.

Read the detailed description

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).

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    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.

    Drug: SanaCutan Basiscreme

  • No intervention
    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.

Interventions

  • DrugSanaCutan Basiscreme

    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).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Cumulative incidence of children with atopic dermatitis at 6 months of age

    A confirmed atopic dermatitis is present if an atopic dermatitis is diagnosed in at least 2 examinations at intervals of at least 4 weeks (preliminary diagnosis + proof of chronification). The primary objective is achieved when the cumulative incidence of children with atopic dermatitis in the treatment group at 6 months of age is significantly lower than in the control group without predetermined treatment (p \< 0.05).

    Time frame: 0-6 months of age

Secondary outcomes

  1. Cumulative incidence of children with atopic dermatitis at the age of 12 and 16 weeks and 9, 12 and 6-12 months

    Time frame: 0-12 months of age

  2. Cumulative incidence of children with preliminary diagnosis of atopic dermatitis (regardless of whether chronification is confirmed) at 12 and 16 weeks and 6, 9 and 12 months

    Time frame: 0-12 months of age

  3. Time to onset of atopic dermatitis at the age of 0-6, 6-12 and 0-12 months

    Time frame: 0-12 months of age

  4. Cumulative incidence and frequency of children with xerosis at the age of 6 and 12 months

    Time frame: 0-12 months of age

  5. Cumulative incidence and frequency of children with signs of itching at 6 and 12 months of age

    Time frame: 0-12 months of age

  6. Cumulative incidence and frequency of children with other types of eczema at 6 and 12 months of age

    Time frame: 0-12 months of age

  7. Severity of atopic dermatitis at the time of detection of (confirmed) atopic dermatitis up to the age of 12 and 16 weeks and 6, 9 and 12 months

    Method: SCORAD (SCORing Atopic Dermatitis; 0-104 points; higher score indicates a more severe atopic dermatitis)

    Time frame: 0-12 months of age

  8. Frequency of sensitization to food allergens (according to Fx5 test + hazelnut) and to inhalation allergens (according to Sx1 test) and total IgE at the age of 6, 9 and 12 months

    Positive/negative of Fx5 test and Sx1 test and - in case of a positive result - on a single allergen basis (with specific IgE value). The measures of sensitization and total IgE are performed for all children at the age of 6 months and again for children in the follow-up phase, if they are diagnosed with atopic dermatitis in this period of time.

    Time frame: 0-12 months of age

  9. Adverse events: overall frequency, type, severity, causality, with frequencies, separate presentation of local reactions up to the age of 6 and 12 months

    Time frame: 0-12 months of age

  10. Drop-outs (with reasons) up to the age of 6 and 12 months

    Time frame: 0-12 months of age

  11. Compliance regarding the use of the investigational medicinal product in the treatment group up to the age of 6, 12 and 6-12 months

    Time frame: 0-12 months of age

  12. Compliance regarding the use of other skin care products (not investigational medicinal product) in both groups up to the age of 6, 12 and 6-12 months

    Time frame: 0-12 months of age

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jul 2020 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2023, 41 months after the start.

Of 149 industry-sponsored phase 3 interventional studies under Dermatitis, Atopic, half reached primary completion within 18 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 28. This study's planned 41 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 156 studies reached it within 18 months; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 28.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 24, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
