Study summary

This study will collect skin measurements from people with atopic dermatitis (AD) using the investigational Nevisense Go device. Participants aged 12 to 89 years with a history of AD flares will use the device at home for about 90 days. Participants will complete device measurements, electronic diary entries, and up to five in-person study visits. The study is based on the idea that changes in skin barrier function may occur before an AD flare becomes visible or symptoms begin. Information collected during the study, including device measurements, diary entries, and investigator assessments, will be used to evaluate whether these changes may help estimate the likelihood of an AD flare before visible signs or symptoms occur.

Read the detailed description

Atopic dermatitis (AD), also called eczema, is a skin condition associated with repeated periods of worsening symptoms known as flares. Researchers believe that changes in skin barrier function may occur before visible skin changes or symptoms develop. The investigational Nevisense Go device uses Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), which measures electrical properties of the skin related to skin barrier function. Previous studies using EIS have shown associations between impedance measurements and skin barrier changes in AD. This study will collect EIS measurements from affected and unaffected skin over time to evaluate whether these measurements may help estimate the likelihood of AD flare onset before visible signs or symptoms occur. The study is observational because device measurements will not be used to guide participant treatment or clinical care during study participation.

Study population

The study population includes adolescents and adults aged 12 to 89 years with a documented diagnosis of atopic dermatitis and a recent history of disease flares. The multicenter design is intended to support enrollment of a demographically diverse participant population representative of individuals with atopic dermatitis in the United States.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

Participants may be eligible if they:

  • Are 12 to 89 years old.
  • Have been diagnosed with atopic dermatitis (eczema).
  • Have had at least one atopic dermatitis flare within the past 2 months.
  • Are willing and able to use the Nevisense Go device at home, complete an electronic symptom diary, and attend study visits.
  • If currently using systemic treatment for atopic dermatitis, have been on the same treatment for at least 3 months and do not plan to change treatment during the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

Participants may not be eligible if they:

Interventions

  • DeviceNevisense electrical impedance spectroscopy

    The NevisenseGo device will collect skin measurements from people with atopic dermatitis (AD) to see if it can effectively predict a flare in disease.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Relationship between skin measurements and subsequent atopic dermatitis flares

    Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurements collected over time to assess their relationship to subsequent participant-reported atopic dermatitis flares occurring before visible signs or symptoms are apparent.

    Time frame: Measurements taken over 90 days, 5 days a week

  2. Develop and validate an algorithm using Nevisense Go EIS

    To develop and validate an algorithm using Nevisense Go EIS data that can calculate the momentary likelihood of AD flares, before signs or symptoms

    Time frame: From enrollment until end of treatment at 90 days.

Secondary outcomes

  1. To assess the relationship between EIS measurements of skin and AD severity through a variety of patient-reported outcome measures, including itch severity and flare frequency.

    Time frame: From enrollment until end of study at 90 days

  2. To assess the relationship between EIS measurements of skin and AD severity through a variety of clinician-reported outcome measures

    Including Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI), Validated Investigator's Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD), and body surface area (BSA).

    Time frame: From time of enrollment until end of study at 90 days.

  3. To assess the relationship between EIS measurements of skin and resolution of AD flares.

    Time frame: From enrollment until end of study at 90 days

  4. To assess the feasibility of using the Nevisense Go device.

    Time frame: Enrollment to Day 90 (end of study)

  5. To assess adherence to using the Nevisense Go device.

    Time frame: Enrollment to Day 90 (end of study)

2 registry updates 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 Jun 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Apr 2027, 9 months after the start.

Of 74 industry-sponsored observational studies under Dermatitis, Atopic, half reached primary completion within 32 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 84. This study's planned 9 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 170 studies reached it within 35 months; a quarter within 17.

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.
