Clinical Trial of an Ointment in Patients With Mild and Moderate Atopic Dermatitis

Vietnam90 participantsStarted 2025-02-23

Plain-language summary

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic skin disorder, which negatively impacts up to 20% children and 3% adults in the world. The main AD treatments aim to regress clinical manifestations, improve and restore skin lesions. Daily moisturizing has also been shown to have the ability to protect the skin, increase skin elasticity and reduce the severity of AD. In the past few decades, Korea has been a well-known country with cosmetic companies and products derived from nature. Carboexpert is also one of them. Since its inception, the company has focused on researching and developing herbal extracts in skin care cosmetic products, typically the product Theraphytoabel Theraphyto Intensive-Cure Ointment. The product uses a high concentration of extract from Syzygium formosum (Wall) masam leaves originating from Vietnam. This is a medicinal herb that has been used in Vietnam for hundreds of years. Folk remedies in Vietnam use hot water leaf extract of this plant to treat urticaria and rashes. Previous studies have shown that leaf extract has also been shown to be very effective against gram-positive bacteria. The study in 2018 also demonstrated that the ethanol extract of S. formosum leaves was effective in reducing food allergy on mouse model. Based on the above evidences, this study will evaluate and compare the effectiveness and safety between Theraphytoabel Theraphyto Intensive-Cure Ointment product and commercial moisturizers which using in Vinmec on moderate and mild AD patients at Vinmec International Hospital Times City, Hanoi.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
