clomipramine and Skin Diseases

clomipramine has been researched along with Skin Diseases in 4 studies

Clomipramine: A tricyclic antidepressant similar to IMIPRAMINE that selectively inhibits the uptake of serotonin in the brain. It is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and demethylated in the liver to form its primary active metabolite, desmethylclomipramine.
clomipramine : A dibenzoazepine that is 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine which is substituted by chlorine at position 3 and in which the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen is replaced by a 3-(dimethylamino)propyl group. One of the more sedating tricyclic antidepressants, it is used as the hydrochloride salt for the treatment of depression as well as obsessive-compulsive disorder and phobias.

Skin Diseases: Diseases involving the DERMIS or EPIDERMIS.

Trial Outcomes

Change in Target Lesion Pruritus Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at Week 4 Compared to Baseline.

Target lesion pruritus as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) from 0 to 100 mm at week 4 compared to baseline (with 0 being no pruritis and 100 being maximum pruritis). (NCT00356200)
Timeframe: Baseline to week 4

Interventionmm (Mean)
Cohort 1, 10 ug/ml Fluphenazine Treated Lesion-30
Cohort 1, Placebo Treated Lesion-27.2
Cohort 2, 100 ug/ml Fluphenazine Treated Lesion-18
Cohort 2, Placebo Treated Lesion-32.6

Change in Target Lesion Score at Week 4 Compared to Baseline

Change in score from 0-14 of target lesion disease activity based on scaling, erythema, and induration as determined by a physician assessor at week 4 compared to baseline (with 0 being no disease activity and 14 being maximum disease activity). (NCT00356200)
Timeframe: Baseline to week 4

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Cohort 1, 10 ug/ml Fluphenazine Treated Lesion-1
Cohort 1, Placebo Treated Lesion-0.8
Cohort 2, 100 ug/ml Fluphenazine Treated Lesion-0.4
Cohort 2, Placebo Treated Lesion-1.5

Change in Target Lesion Scoring Evaluated at Baseline and 4 Weeks

Actual change in target lesion score comparing 4 week score with baseline score. Improvement is positive, worsening is negative. Target lesions scores range from 0 (no disease) to 12 (severe disease), and are scored based on the sum of erythema (0-4), induration (0-4) and scale (0-4) scores. (NCT00929578)
Timeframe: 4 weeks

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Placebo-1.4
Fluphenazine-1.4

Change in the Target Lesion Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score for Pruritus Evaluated at Baseline and 4 Weeks

Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score for pruritus. Subjective measurement of pruritus on an analog scale with a single mark denoting self-perceived pruritus: Minimum 0mm for no itch, Maximum 100mm for worst itch imaginable. Scores are measured in millimeters. This secondary outcome is a percentage improvement from baseline score for pruritus. Improvement is negative, worsening is positive. (NCT00929578)
Timeframe: 4 weeks

Interventionpercentage of baseline pruritus (Mean)
Placebo0.86
Fluphenazine-2.16

Fluphenazine Serum Levels Measured at Baseline, 2 Hours Post Dose and 1 Week Post Dose.

Number of participants with fluphenazine serum levels > 0.200ng/ml, at baseline, 2 hours post dose and 1 week post dose. (NCT00929578)
