Efficacy of Baricitinib In Treatment of Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity Versus Irritant Skin Reactions in Healthy Adult Male Subjects

Early Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Allergic Contact Dermatitis
• Interventions: Drug: Placebo; Drug: Baricitinib

• Registration Number: NCT03945760
• Lead Sponsor: Wright State Physicians

Brief Summary

The treatment of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) can be unsatisfactory, and that other skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis have an increased likelihood of ACD, improved systemic treatments are needed.

This research study explores the effectiveness of Baricitinib in treating Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity (allergic) versus Irritant Skin reactions. Subjects for this study need to be healthy males between the ages of 18 and 40. This study will evaluate this by injecting antigens as well as applying them on top of the skin to the forearm then measure the effects of Baricitinib by skin and blood testing.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of participants with reduced skin inflammation associated with Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity (DTH) versus irritant skin reactions by pro-inflammatory cytokine profile.	Day 28	Investigator will assess the skin inflammation reduction as measured by pro-inflammatory cytokine profile associated with DTH versus irritant skin reactions.
Number of participants with reduced skin inflammation associated with Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity (DTH) versus irritant skin reactions by erythema measurement.	Day 28	Investigator will assess the skin inflammation reduction as measured by erythema associated with DTH versus irritant skin reactions.
Number of participants with reduced skin inflammation associated with Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity (DTH) versus irritant skin reactions by measurement of reaction size.	Day 28	Investigator will assess the skin inflammation reduction as measured by reaction size associated with DTH versus irritant skin reactions.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of participants with reduced pruritus associated with DTH versus irritant skin reactions.	Day 28	Investigator will assess pruritus reduction associated with DTH versus irritant skin reactions by a daily itch rating scale questionnaire.
