A Study to Learn About the Study Medicine Called Tilrekimig in People With Moderate-to-Severe Eczema

The purpose of this study is to find out how well tilrekimig works, how safe it is, and how it affects the body when used together with medicated creams or ointments in adults and adolescents with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema). Eczema (also called atopic dermatitis) is a common skin condition that makes the skin dry, itchy, red, and irritated. * This study is seeking participants who: Are aged 12 years or older. * Were confirmed to have atopic dermatitis (AD) at least 12 months ago. * Are not having an effective treatment result from medicines that are applied on skin for AD. * Are considered by their doctors to have moderate to severe AD. Participants in this study will randomly receive either tilrekimig or placebo at a 2:1 ratio. A placebo does not have any medicine in it but looks just like the medicine being studied. The study treatment period will be 24 weeks. The last dose of study treatment will be administered at week 20. Some participants will join the long-term extension study C4531008 at week 24. A long-term extension study is an additional study that participants may be able to join after completing the main study. It allows researchers to continue collecting information about how well the study medicine works and how safe it is when used for a longer period of time. Participants who do not join this study will enter a 12-week safety follow-up period. This period ends 16 weeks after their last study treatment dose.

Study period: It includes a screening period (4 weeks), a treatment period (44 weeks), and a follow-up period (8 weeks). After screening is completed, participants will be randomly grouped in a 1:1 ratio. On Day 1 (D1), they will receive a loading dose of either IBI3027 or Dupilumab Injection 600 mg by subcutaneous injection (SC), followed by 300 mg each time, SC administration, once every 2 weeks (Q2W), until the last administration on W44. After the treatment is completed, a 8-week safety follow-up will be conducted.

Evaluating the Safety and Tolerability of Baricitinib in Patients With Job Syndrome With Lupus-Like Disease and/or Atopic Dermatitis

Background: Autosomal dominant hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES), also called Job syndrome, is a genetic disorder that affects the immune system. It can cause skin and lung infections and problems with blood vessels, connective tissues, and bones. People with HIES often have lupus-like disease or atopic dermatitis (skin rash). Researchers want to know if a drug approved to treat other immune system diseases (baricitinib) can help people with HIES. Objective: To test baricitinib in people with HIES with lupus-like disease or skin rash. Eligibility: People aged 12 years and older with HIES with lupus-like disease or skin rash. Design: Participants will have 5 clinic visits, 4 remote visits, and 2 phone visits in 9 months. Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests. They will have tests of the speed and pressure of blood flow through their body: Blood pressure cuffs will be placed on each arm and leg; electrodes will be placed on the wrists and a microphone on the chest. The study has a 3-month lead-in period. Participants will not take the study drug during this time. They will continue with their usual medical care. They will have 2 phone calls with the study team. Baricitinib is a tablet taken by mouth. Participants will take 1 or 2 tablets by mouth every day for 6 months. They will start with a low dose and may increase to a higher dose. Blood and urine tests will be repeated during each study visit. Other tests may also be repeated during some visits. A skin sample may also be taken....

Natural History and Genetics of Food Allergy and Related Conditions

Background: \- About 15 million Americans have a food allergy. Because there are no cures or effective prevention or treatment for food allergies, researchers want to learn more about them. Objective: \- To learn more about the causes and effects of food allergy and related conditions. Eligibility: * People ages 2 99 who have food allergy and/or a related genetic or other condition * Their relatives * Healthy relatives and volunteers Design: * Participants will have at least 3 visits over 1 2 years, and then once a year for up to 12 years. Each may last a day or longer. * Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and questionnaires. * Participants may have the following: * Blood tests * Allergy skin prick tests: Drops of allergens are placed on the back or arm. The skin is scratched under each drop. * Leukapheresis: blood is taken from a needle in one arm, passed through a machine, and returned through a needle in the other arm. * X-rays * Esophageal string test: One end of a string is taped to the cheek and the other end is packed into a capsule. When the capsule is swallowed, the string unwinds; it is left in for at least 1 hour. * EGD and colonoscopy: Biopsies are taken from the gastrointestinal system. * Tiny biopsies of skin * Photographs of the body * Collection of cells through: * Swab of nose, inside of cheek, or skin * Gentle skin scrape * Tape stripping: piece of tape is put on the skin and pulled off.

Studies of Skin Microbes in Healthy People and in People With Skin Conditions

This study will examine microbes (e.g., bacteria, fungi, viruses) that live on human skin and how microbes contribute to health and disease. It will analyze healthy human skin and how the these microorganisms might change in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), a skin condition also known as eczema. Healthy volunteers, as well as patients with moderate to severe eczema (AD), between 2 and 40 years of age may be eligible for this study. We also wish to enroll children and adults aged 2-40 who have been diagnosed with inherited immune disorders known as HIES (hyperimmunoglobulin-E syndrome), WAS (Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome), or DOCK8 immunodeficiency because they frequently have skin problems similar to AD. Eligible participants undergo the following tests and procedures: * Medical family and medication history * Skin examination * Blood tests (research blood as well as serum IgE, and complete blood count) * Skin samples to analyze microbes. Samples are obtained by the following methods: swabbing the skin with a cotton swab; scraping (scratching) the skin gently with a blade to remove only the outermost skin layers; and, only in adults, biopsy (surgical removal) of a small skin sample less than 1/4-inch (5 mm) in diameter. * Nose swabs to analyze microbes. * Patients with eczema may have photographs of their skin taken to help monitor the skin rashes. Participants may be contacted periodically for follow-up studies. Patients with atopic dermatitis may have additional skin samples collected to examine changes in the skin bacteria over time and during all of the stages of eczema. In addition, patients who have a flare of their eczema are asked to undergo a skin sample collection as soon as possible.

A Study to Learn About Study Medicine Called PF-08049820 in People With Eczema

The purpose of this study is to learn if the study medicine (PF-08049820) is safe and effective for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD), also known as eczema, or atopic eczema. People with this condition may have severe itching and rashes on the skin. The study is seeking participants who: 1. Are 18 to 64 years of age; 2. Were confirmed to have AD at least 6 months ago; 3. Do not have a suitable prescribed medicine for AD; 4. Are considered by their doctors to have moderate to severe AD. The study has two stages (Stage 1 and Stage 2). In both stages, eligible participants will take either PF-08049820 or placebo as tablets by mouth daily for 12 weeks. A placebo does not have any medicine in it but looks just like the medicine being studied. Participants will visit the clinic on Day 1, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12. They will have a follow-up visit at Week 16. During this time, the participant's health and skin condition will be checked. They will have blood and urine tests. They will also have to answer questions about their health, skin condition, and how much their skin condition affects their lives. The experiences of participants receiving the study medicine will be compared to those receiving placebo. This will help to understand if PF-08049820 is safe and effective.

Clinical-Instrumental Study To Evaluate And Compare The Efficacy And Tolerability Of Two Emollients Products In Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with erythema, scaly and oozing plaques, and severe pruritus which has an important impact on quality of life and quality of sleep. It is divided into 2 chronic phases : flare-up and remission period. Signs and symptoms of AD are associated with a compromised immune system, a defective skin barrier, a cutaneous dysbiosis and overall inflammatory status. The aim of the study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy and tolerability of two face and body cream products, new emollient versus placebo, in used over the course of 5 weeks as a replacement of usual or any emollient by female and male subjects with atopic dermatitis. This is an interventional, single-center, double-blind, randomized and comparative study.

Part C will assess BYN-001 in adults with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.

Retention of Vernix Caseosa in Newborns for Primary Prevention of Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis (AD), also known as eczema, is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease that usually begins in infancy and causes significant itching, discomfort, and sleep disturbance. It affects up to one in five children worldwide and represents a growing public-health problem. Research has shown that genetic and environmental factors contribute to its development, especially those related to skin-barrier integrity and the skin microbiome during early life. Preventing AD before it starts-known as primary prevention-has become an important goal. Vernix caseosa is a naturally occurring, white, creamy substance that covers the skin of newborns at birth. It forms during the last trimester of pregnancy and plays a key role in protecting and hydrating the baby's skin before and after birth. Vernix contains water, lipids, and proteins with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Despite these potential benefits, in many hospitals vernix is routinely removed soon after delivery as part of standard newborn cleaning or bathing practices. However, there is little scientific evidence to support early removal, and some studies suggest that keeping vernix on the skin for longer may help the newborn's skin barrier function and reduce colonization by harmful bacteria. The PROTEGO Study (Post-Partum Retention of Vernix Caseosa for Primary Prevention of Atopic Dermatitis, Guarding Skin Integrity and Fostering a Healthy Microbiome) is a randomized controlled clinical trial designed to test whether delaying the removal of vernix caseosa after birth can help prevent atopic dermatitis and improve skin health during the first year of life. A total of 1,383 mother-infant pairs will be enrolled from three maternity hospitals in Santiago, Chile. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1. Retention group: Vernix caseosa will be left on the skin and allowed to dry naturally; the baby's first bath will be delayed according to the study protocol. 2. Removal group: Vernix will be removed following current hospital practice using gentle cleaning with water and oil or petroleum jelly shortly after birth. All infants will be followed for 12 months with regular clinical assessments, standardized skin evaluations, and collection of biological samples. The main outcome will be the cumulative incidence of atopic dermatitis, diagnosed using modified UK Working Party criteria and/or Hanifin \& Rajka criteria at 12 months of age. Secondary outcomes include skin-barrier measurements (transepidermal water loss, skin pH, and natural moisturizing factor), the composition of the skin microbiome, and early signs of allergic or infectious diseases. This study will provide high-quality evidence on whether preserving vernix caseosa after birth is a simple, safe, cost-effective and natural strategy to strengthen the newborn's skin barrier and reduce the risk of eczema and related conditions. The results could help improve newborn-care practices and promote skin health in early life worldwide.
