Topical Application of AS101 for the Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis
Topical Application of AS101 for the Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis
Atopic Dermatitis is a chronic non contagious disease that causes itchy, inflamed skin. The
 purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of topical AS101 ointment for
 the treatment of Atopic dermatitis.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease, affecting 10-20%
 of children and 2% of adults worldwide. The mechanism of AD is still not completely
 understood, but the disorder appears to result from the complex interaction between
 immunological responses, various susceptability genes, defects in skin barrier function, host
 and environmental factors and infectious agents. AS101 is a non toxic potent immunomodulator
 that has been shown to have beneficial effects in diverse pre clinical and clinical studies.
 Recently, AS101 has shown efficacy and safety in the treatment of mild to moderate Psoriasis
 which shares with AD a related immunological mechanism along with the AS101 ability to
 decrease the level of interleukins known to be involved ith the pathogenesis of AD.
