简要总结

It is historically well known that the management of pruritus in atopic dermatitis is very difficult. Most of the patients are not controlled with traditional antihistamines such as Clarinex, Claritin, and Allegra. It will be a welcome addition to our treatment armamentarium if a drug such as Xyzal can control pruritus associated with atopic dermatitis.

  • vasectomized partner. [Exception: Female subjects of childbearing potential who are not sexually active will not be required to practice a reliable method of contraception. These subjects may be enrolled at the Investigator's discretion if they are counseled to remain sexually inactive during the study and understand the possible risks in getting pregnant during the study.]
  • Definitive diagnosis of atopic dermatitis as per Rajka-Hanifin criteria.
  • Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pruritus score of 6 cm or more (moderate to severe itching) at baseline.
  • Willing to refrain from other antihistamines and topical steroids and topical immunomodulators for the duration of the study.
  • Able to understand and comply with the requirements of the study and sign Informed Consent/Health Insurance and Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA) Authorization forms.

  • History of hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reaction to to any component of the test medication , or to cetirizine.
  • Atopic Dermatitis triggered by an unavoidable irritant/allergen.
  • Skin disease/disorder that might interfere with the diagnosis or evaluation of atopic dermatitis (e.g., erythroderma, skin infection on the affected area, etc.)
  • Non-compliance with the proper wash-out periods for prohibited medications.
  • Uncontrolled chronic disease such as diabetes
  • The presence of renal disease with mild, moderate or severe renal impairment
  • Medical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, contraindicates the subject's participation in the clinical study.

主要结局

Pruritus VAS Scores at Baseline, Week 2 and Week 4

时间窗: Baseline - Week 2-Week 4

Consented subjects who met inclusion/exclusion criteria were assigned either 5mg levocetirizine dihydrochloride (Xyzal) or placebo to be taken daily each evening for 28 days. Subjects were asked to complete a Visual Analog Scale to measure itch at Baseline, Week 2 and Week 4. The scale is an eleven point scale ranging from 0-10 with 0 indicating no itch to 10 indicating itch that frequently interferes with daily activities.

次要结局

  • Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Questionnaire Scores at Baseline, Week 2 and Week 4(Baseline - Week 2 - Week 4)
