Key information

About this study

This is a Pre Market Study to evaluate and confirm the performance of the RelizemaTM cream in the improvement of the dermatitis severity, assessed through a clinical parameter, the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) at baseline and at Visit 3, compared to vehicle.

To evaluate the performance of the RelizemaTM cream, compared to placebo in the eczema improvement through the EASI.

The safety objectives is to evaluate the local and general tolerability of Relizema cream compared to placebo.

Treatment and study plan

Relizema cram

Device

Relizema cream is a CE marked, Class IIa medical device, dermatological cream for topical use indicated for symptomatic treatment of dermatitis and erythema. Relizema cream is indicated for the treatment of itching and flushing associated with different types of dermatitis, including atopic dermatitis.

Primary outcomes

  1. To Evaluate and Confirm the Performance of the Relizema Cream in the Improvement of the Dermatitis Severity in Paediatric Patients.

    Time frame: 28 days of treatment

    The disease severity will be clinically measured through the Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) for dermatitis after 28 days of treatment, compared to vehicle.

Secondary outcomes

  1. To Evaluate the Performance of the Relizema Cream, Compared to Placebo,

    Time frame: after 14 and 42 days of treatment, 42 days reported

    To evaluate the performance of the Relizema cream, compared to placebo, in the improvement of dermatitis severity (IGA) after 14 and 42 days of treatment

  2. To Evaluate the Eczema Improvement

    Time frame: after 14, 28 and 42 days of treatment, reported after 42 days

    To evaluate the eczema improvement through the EASI (Eczema Area and Severity Index) score

  3. To Evaluate the Media in Itching, Burning, Pain and Pruritus at Visits

    Time frame: after 14, 28 and 42 days of treatment, day 42 reported

    To evaluate itching as reported by the patient at visits by the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS that is a numeric scale from 0 to 10, 0 is the best result, 10 is the worst), in the two treatment groups

  4. To Evaluate Improvement in the Quality of Life (QoL) of the Subject Related to His/Her Dermatitis

    Time frame: after 14, 28 and 42 days of treatment, reported 42 days

    To evaluate the QoL improvement of the patient related to his/her dermatitis, through the Children Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) questionnaire in the two treatment groups; The questionnaire asks for 10 questions, covering the following topics: symptoms, embarrassment, shopping and home care, clothes, social and leisure, sport, work or study, close relationships, treatment. Each question refers to the impact of the skin disease on the patient's life over the previous week.

    Each question is scored from 0 to 3, giving a possible score range from 0 (meaning no impact of skin disease on quality of life) to 30 (meaning maximum impact on quality of life).

    Global score:

    0-1 = No effect on patient's life 2-5 = Small effect 6-10 = Moderate effect 11-20 = Very large effect 21-30 = Extremely large effect. The CDQLI was compiled by the patient at each visit. Young children were supported for the questionnaire compilation by the parents/guardian, if necessary)

  5. To Evaluate the Patient's Adherence to Treatment

    Time frame: 42 days

    Units on a scale of partecipants with an improvement in the dermatitis severity

  6. To Evaluate the Need of a Rescue Treatment (as Indicated by the Investigator) to Manage AD Flare;

    Time frame: 42 days of treatment

    To evaluate the need of a rescue treatment (as indicated by the Investigator) to manage AD flare;

  7. To Evaluate the Patient's Global Evaluation of Performance of Relizema Cream, Compared to Placebo

    Time frame: at the end of the study ( day 42)

    To evaluate the patient's global evaluation on performance of the study product performed by means of a 7-items scale (where 1 = very much improved, 2 = improved, 3 = minimally improved, 4 = no change, 5 = minimally worse, 6 = worse, 7 = very much worse)
