Brief summary
In this multicentre, prospective clinical research conducted in outpatient healthcare facilities, the investigators studied the effect of novel cosmetic product Imunoglukan P4H® ACUTE! cream paste in children with neonatal pustulosis, diaper dermatitis or perioral dermatitis. The main endpoints of the study were focused on objective evaluation of erythema severity and overall improvement of selected dermatoses. Participants enrolled in the study applied Imunoglukan P4H® ACUTE! cream paste at least 2-3 times daily (or as needed) in an adequate amount to the affected area for a maximum of 2 weeks (without other treatment).
Detailed description
* Design: Multicentre, prospective, open-label study * Centres: 20 outpatient healthcare facilities in Slovakia (1 Department of Dermatology, 19 general outpatient clinic for children and adolescents) * Patients: 110 children from 3 weeks of age with selected skin dermatoses (neonatal pustulosis, diaper dermatitis, perioral dermatitis) * Treatment: Imunoglukan P4H® ACUTE! cream paste applied 2-3 times a day or as needed (without other treatment) * Study period: until erythema disappears or for a maximum of 14 days * Primary endpoints: * severity of erythema according to 5-point scale (Clinician's Erythema Assessment - CEA) * overall severity and improvement of selected dermatoses according to 6-point scale (Investigator's Global Assessment - IGA) * Secondary endpoint: * tolerability of novel cosmetic product (Clinician's Assessment of Tolerability)

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Clinician's Erythema Assessment | from the enrolment (day 1;V0) to complete recovery from erythema (latest on day 14; V1) at each study visit Evaluations: - initial visit (V0) - day of enrolment - control visit (V1) - after complete recovery from erythema or max. 14 days from enrolment | Clinical assessment of erythema using a 5-point severity scale (0 = no erythema; 1 = very mild erythema: light pink; 2 = mild erythema: pink; 3 = moderate erythema: red; 4 = severe erythema: intense red) |
| Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) | from the enrolment (day 1; V0) to complete recovery from erythema (latest on day 14; V1) initial visit (V0) - day of enrolment control visit (V1) - after complete recovery from erythema or maximum 14 days from enrolment | Overall severity and improvement of selected dermatoses (diaper dermatitis, perioral dermatitis, neonatal dermatitis) evaluated by Investigator's global assessment (IGA) using a 6-point scale (-1 = worsening; 0 = no response; 1 = mild response; 2 = moderate response; 3 = excellent response; 4 = complete response) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events | from the enrolment (day 1; V0) to complete recovery from erythema (latest on day 14; V1) | Safety was monitored by number of participants with treatment-related adverse events. |
| Tolerability of the cosmetic product | from the enrolment (day 1; V0) to complete recovery from erythema (latest on day 14; V1) Evaluation at control visit (V1) - after complete recovery from erythema or maximum 14 days from enrolment | Tolerability was assessed by product acceptance and adherence to study treatment using a 3-point tolerability scale (0 = poor; 1 = good; 2 = excellent) |
