Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Difference in number of days/week corticosteroid use between verum and placebo group over 12 weeks. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Efficacy: - Difference in mean grams/week topical corticosteroid use between verum and placebo group over 12 and 20 weeks. - Proportion of patients with AD who indicate to have used less corticosteroids at week 2 and 12, as compared to baseline and at week 20 as compared to the 12 week treatment period (appendix 8). - Change in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) from baseline to week 2, 6, 12 and 20 - Change in Patient Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) from baseline to week 2, 6, 12 and 20 - Proportion of patients with a reduction from baseline of 2 or more points of Investigators global assessment (IGA) at week 2, 6 and week 12 - Change in IGA from baseline to week 2, 6 and 12 and week 20 - Change in Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (Pruritus NRS) from baseline to week 2, week 6 and week 12 and week 20 - Proportion of patients with a change in Pruritus numerical Rating Scale (Pruritus NRS) form baseline to week 2, week 12 and week 20. - Mean time to flare from baseline through week 12 and from week 12 through week 20. Flare is defined is an exacerbation that requires the need of any stronger topical therapy, an increase in dosage of the topical therapy or the need of a systemic therapy. 2. Quality of Life: - Change in Skindex-29 score from baseline to week 12 and week 20. 3. The effect of Gladskin on the dynamics of S. aureus and on other microorganisms on skin/mucosa: - Proportion of patients with a reduction of S. aureus from baseline to measurement 1 (0,5hour after baseline) as determined by semi quantitative culture - Proportion of patient with a > 1 log reduction of S. aureus from the lowest measurement (visit 1 or visit 2a) to week 2 and week 12 as determined by quantitative QPCR - Change in relative abundance of bacteria: determined by 16s rRNA sequencing 4. Safety and tolerability of Gladskin: - Incidence of (serious) adverse device events from baseline through the end of the study. | — |
