Phase 3

Conditions
Children with a high risk of developing atopic dermatitis

Lead Sponsor
INFECTOPHARM Arzneimittel und Consilium GmbH
Brief Summary

The MOPAD study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the SanaCutan Basiscreme by comparing the cumulative incidence of atopic dermatitis (AD) in infants with high familial risk between the treatment group and the control group (without treatment) at the age of 6 months. A clinical efficacy (primary objective) is achieved if the cumulative AD incidence in the treatment group at the age of 6 months is significantly lower than in the control group (p < 0.05). AD is confirmed if in at least 2 examinations at an interval of at least 4 weeks (initial diagnosis + evidence of chronification) an AD is diagnosed. A confirmed AD is abbreviated as “AD” in the context of the study (this does not refer to the initial detection of AD symptoms).
