A Study To Assess Safety And Effectiveness Of Medrol In Contact Dermatitis In Indian Patients

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study will be a prospective, non-interventional, single arm and open label study, in patients with contact dermatitis requiring systemic steroid therapy with a purpose to obtain the real life effectiveness and tolerability of Medrol in treating contact dermatitis in Indian patients. Patients with contact dermatitis who have been prescribed for Medrol will be enrolled into the study and will be followed up for the resolution of symptoms

Official Title
-----------------
Medrol® In Contact Dermatitis: A Prospective Study To Assess The Safety And Effectiveness Of Medrol In Contact Dermatitis In Indian Subjects

Conditions
-----------------
Dermatitis, Contact

Intervention / Treatment
-----------------
* Drug: Tablet Methylprednisolone (4 or 16 mg)


Participation Criteria
=================
Eligibility Criteria
-----------------
Inclusion Criteria: To be eligible for enrollment in this study, patients must be prescribed oral Medrol tablets (4mg and 16 mg) for contact dermatitis as per the locally approved prescribing information Medrol tablets, will be prescribed to the patient by the physician according to his/her usual practice. The decision to prescribe Medrol tablet will necessarily precede and will be independent of the decision to enroll patient into the study Only those patients, who are ready to sign an informed consent, will be included in the study Subject can be contacted through telephone Exclusion Criteria: Patients who have any other dermatological or systemic condition that may interfere or confound with the study outcome measurements Patients taking any oral steroid preparation or immunomodulators or have taken any such oral medication during last 15 days before enrollment. NSAIDs (Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Agents) are excluded from the list Any contraindication to Medrol tablet use. Contraindications of Medrol use are systemic fungal infections and known hypersensitivity to components Participation in other studies within last 1 month before the current study begins and/or during study participation Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Treatment Status (Success/Failure) of Contact Dermatitis (CD) at the Second Follow-up Visit | The signs and symptoms of CD were rated on Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) 5-point scale (range, 0 - 4 scale): 0 - no clinically relevant reaction; 1- macular erythema with induration; 2 - weak (non-vesicular) reaction with erythema, infiltration, and possible papules; 3 - strong (edematous or vesicular) reaction; 4 - extreme (spreading, bullous, ulcerative) reaction. Success was defined as a score of 0 or 1 and failure was defined as a score of 2, 3, or 4. | Second follow-up visit (Day 5-28) | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Treatment Status (Success/Failure) of CD at the First Follow-up Visit | The signs and symptoms of CD were rated on PGA 5-point scale (range, 0 - 4 scale): 0 - no clinically relevant reaction; 1- macular erythema with induration; 2 - weak (non-vesicular) reaction with erythema, infiltration, and possible papules; 3 - strong (edematous or vesicular) reaction; 4 - extreme (spreading, bullous, ulcerative) reaction. Success was defined as a score of 0 or 1 and failure was defined as a score of 2, 3, or 4. | First follow-up visit (between Day 6 to 10 after start of treatment) | 
| Treatment Status (Success/Failure) of CD at the Third Follow-up Visit | The signs and symptoms of CD were rated on PGA 5-point scale (range, 0 - 4 scale): 0 - no clinically relevant reaction; 1- macular erythema with induration; 2 - weak (non-vesicular) reaction with erythema, infiltration, and possible papules; 3 - strong (edematous or vesicular) reaction; 4 - extreme (spreading, bullous, ulcerative) reaction. Success was defined as a score of 0 or 1 and failure was defined as a score of 2, 3, or 4. | Third follow-up visit (between Day 6 to 10 after EOT) | 
| Treatment Status (Success/Failure) of CD at the Final Follow-up Visit | The signs and symptoms of CD were rated on PGA 5-point scale (range, 0 - 4 scale): 0 - no clinically relevant reaction; 1- macular erythema with induration; 2 - weak (non-vesicular) reaction with erythema, infiltration, and possible papules; 3 - strong (edematous or vesicular) reaction; 4 - extreme (spreading, bullous, ulcerative) reaction. Success was defined as a score of 0 or 1 and failure was defined as a score of 2, 3, or 4. | Final follow-up visit (between Day 25 to 35 after EOT) | 
| Change From Baseline in Participant-rated Clinical Severity Score of Lesions at First, Second, Third and Final Follow-up Visits | Participant-rated clinical severity score of lesions rated the severity of all symptoms in the past 24 hours on an 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) where 0 = No lesions and 10 = Most severe possible lesions. | Baseline,First Follow-up(between Day 6-10 of start of treatment),Second(Day 5-28),Third(between Day 6-10 after EOT),Final(between Day 25-35 after EOT) | 
| Change From Baseline in Participant-rated Pruritus Score at First, Second, Third and Final Follow-up Visits | Participant-rated pruritus score of lesions rated the severity of pruritus suffered in the past 24 hours on an 11-point NRS where 0 = no pruritus and 10 = most severe possible pruritus. | Baseline,First Follow-up(between Day 6-10 of start of treatment),Second(Day 5-28),Third(between Day 6-10 after EOT),Final(between Day 25-35 after EOT) | 
| Change From Baseline in Investigator-rated Total Signs and Symptoms of CD Score at First, Second, Third and Final Follow-up Visits | Investigator-rated total signs and symptoms score of CD included pruritus, erythema, induration, vesiculation, edema or other specific sign or symptom rated on a 5 point scale of 0 - 4 (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=extreme) with a total score of 0 - 20 (lower score was preferred). | Baseline,First Follow-up(between Day 6-10 of start of treatment),Second(Day 5-28),Third(between Day 6-10 after EOT),Final(between Day 25-35 after EOT) |
