Clinical Trials

Clinical trials play a vital role in improving eczema treatments and deepening our understanding of the condition. On this page, you'll find information about eczema-related clinical trials happening across Australia, including how to participate, what to expect, and who might be eligible. Whether you're considering taking part or simply want to stay informed, we're here to guide you every step of the way and help you make confident, informed decisions about your eczema care.
Atopic Dermatitis Study

Help us find a new approach to treat atopic dermatitis (eczema)

​

Consider taking part in a clinical study of an investigational drug for atopic dermatitis (AD)

 

In atopic dermatitis inflammation (swelling) is triggered when an overactive immune (body’s defence) system damages skin-barrier tissue. Laboratory studies have shown that this investigational drug (study drug) could possibly decrease inflammation and help with tissue repair in AD.

 

This study is to see if the investigational medication is safe and can improve AD and make you feel better.

You may be able to take part in this study if you:

·       Are aged between 18 – 70 years of age

·       Have moderate to severe atopic dermatitis for at least 1 year

​

If you take part, you will receive either the investigational drug or placebo - a placebo is a solution without any active ingredients that looks the same as the investigational drug.

​

You will receive 4 doses of study drug or placebo which will be administered every 4 weeks as a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection over 12 weeks. The study will last for 8-9 months and will include up to 15 visits to the clinic after the screening period.

​

Participants are reimbursed for their time and travel expenses.

Eczema Clinical Study

Eczema/Atopic Dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects approximately 7% of adults worldwide. Despite available therapies, there remains an unmet need for safe and effective long-term management options, particularly for rapid reduction of itching.

Waitemata Clinical Research is recruiting for eczema clinical studies. We are looking for participants that have:

  • Moderate to severe eczema

  • At least 10% of your body is covered by eczema (approximately 10 handprints)

  • Tried steroid creams, but found them mostly ineffective (e.g. Hydrocortisone)
