Efficacy of a Cosmetic Shampoo RV3438G in Reccurent Squamous States

Completed
Conditions
Dermatitis, Seborrheic
Registration Number
NCT06578962
Lead Sponsor
Pierre Fabre Dermo Cosmetique
Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate, with clinical, biological and biometrological assessment methods, the effectiveness of RV3438G shampoo, after 2 weeks of short intensive treatment phase and also the effects of a maintenance phase of 8 weeks in association with a neutral shampoo, or with a gentle balancing shampoo, compared to a neutral shampoo used single.

This is a bicentric, comparative (during the maintenance phase), randomized, controlled and open study, in parallel groups conducted in subjects having mild to moderate recurrent squamous states, for 10 weeks.

4 visits are planned. The maximum duration of the study is 74 days from inclusion visit to the End-of-study visit.

The study area is the whole scalp.

Detailed Description

4 visits are performed: Visit 1: Inclusion (Day1) : start of the short intensive treatment phase (phase 1) Visit 2: Intermediate visit (Day15 ± 3 days, Week 2) : end of the short treatment intensive phase and start of the maintenance phase (phase 2) Visit 3: Intermediate visit (Day 43 ± 3 days, Week 6) : middle of the maintenance phase Visit 4: End-of-study visit (Day 71 ± 3 days, Week 10) : end of the maintenance phase
