Summary

This study will assess the features of children, younger than 12 years old, with moderate to severe eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, when their condition is not adequately controlled with topical therapies (creams or lotions) or when those therapies are not medically advisable.

This is not a treatment study. You and your child will complete questionnaires describing how their condition effects them. Information related to your child's illness will be collected by reviewing their medical chart and by assessments performed by the study team. Participation in this study will involve at least 12 visits that will take place over a period of 10 years.

The information collected in this study may lead to an improved understanding of your child's illness and may provide healthcare providers with important information for treating atopic dermatitis in the future.

A 5-year Longitudinal Observational Study of Patients Undergoing Therapy for Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Skin Conditions

Summary

This is a 5-year, longitudinal, observational study of adult and pediatric patients (all ages) being treated for Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Skin Conditions. In addition to the study database, a biospecimen repository will be included in order to perform studies on biomarkers of response.

Patients being prescribed medical therapy for IMISC will be eligible for enrollment. Treatment algorithms will follow each site's local standard of care and no specific treatments, assessments, and/or laboratory tests will be dictated by enrollment in the main TARGET-DERM Program. Patients will be screened and enrolled at a regularly scheduled clinic visit. Up to three years of retrospective
medical records from patients who provide consent/assent and meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria will be obtained by the research site. Records will include but will not be limited to: hospitalizations, laboratory reports, clinic notes, telephone contact reports, medication lists, reasons for medication initiation and/or discontinuation, biopsy results, and imaging. Patients may
also be linked to external databases (such as patient support programs). Patients will also be asked to provide biological samples and complete patient reported outcome (PRO) surveys, although participation in these two portions is optional.

During the follow-up period, the research site will prospectively submit the research subjects' medical records approximately every 6 to 12 months, for up to 5 years. Patients/legal representatives ("parent proxy") will be asked to complete PRO surveys at regular intervals during this follow-up period.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the dose dependent safety, tolerability and potential efficacy of QRX003 lotion in subjects with Netherton Syndrome (NS). This is a multi-center, randomized, vehicle-controlled, double-blind, parallel group comparison study of QRX003 lotion in adult subjects 18 years of age or older with NS. Approximately 18 subjects will be enrolled at approximately 7 sites. Subjects will be randomized (1:1:1) to treatment as follows:

1. QRX003 (dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline) lotion, 2% (Low dose)
2. QRX003 (dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline) lotion, 4% (High dose)
3. Vehicle lotion

Subjects will apply the assigned test article once daily in the morning to a designated Treatment Area for 12 weeks. Subjects will attend 5 clinic visits for up to 20 weeks.

Summary

Ritlecitinib (PF 06651600) is an investigational drug (referred to as "study drug" from here on) and is being developed as possible study treatment for participants with non segmental vitiligo (both active and stable vitiligo). The study drug will be compared with a placebo to find out if the study drug is better than the placebo for the study treatment of vitiligo. The duration of this study is a maximum of 60 weeks. There will be an initial screening period of 30 days where the study doctor will determine eligibility. If eligible, participants will be randomly assigned to receive the study drug or a placebo during a 52 week study treatment period. At the end of the treatment period, participants will enter a 4 week Follow Up Period.

Impact of Systemic Tetracyclines in Adolescence on Metabolism, Adiposity, and Skeletal Maturation

Summary

In clinical practice, standard of care for treatment of adolescent acne includes extended courses, i.e., 3 months or longer, of systemic tetracyclines, a type of antibiotic.The gut is home to many bacteria. Administration of antibiotics kills these bacteria and prevents them from repopulating during critical developmental periods. The lack of these bacteria has effects on metabolism, fat, and bone mass
accrual in adolescent mice. Given what we have observed in mouse studies,
we are interested to observe the impact of systemic tetracycline acne therapy in adolescents on fat deposition and the skeleton.

Utility and Histologic Effects of the J-Tip Device in Dermatologic Conditions Requiring Local Anesthesia

Keywords

Summary

This project is a pilot study to determine if use of the J-Tip Needle-Free Injection System, used to administer local anesthesia, has any effects on the appearance of skin samples when viewed under a microscope compared with skin samples that have been injected with local anesthesia using a needle. If use of the J-Tip device for local anesthesia delivery is shown not to alter the microscopic appearance of skin, anesthesia for skin biopsies in the future may potentially be performed without a needle, allowing for less fear and pain.
