Summary

This randomized, double-blind trial compared topical crisaborole 2% with topical fluticasone propionate 0.05% in children aged 1-12 years with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis. Forty patients were assigned to receive either crisaborole or fluticasone twice daily on affected areas for 6 weeks, with responders (\>75% improvement in SCORAD) continuing the same treatment twice weekly for 12 weeks as maintenance. The study evaluated improvement in disease severity using SCORAD and ISGA, pruritus scores, disease-free survival, and local tolerability. Both treatments were effective and well tolerated; fluticasone produced faster short-term improvement, while crisaborole showed a trend toward fewer relapses and similar overall safety in this pediatric population.

Crisaborole 2% topical ointment applied in a thin layer to all affected atopic dermatitis lesions twice daily for 6 weeks, followed by twice-weekly application for 12 weeks as maintenance in patients who achieve more than 75% improvement in SCORAD at Week 6.

DRUG

Fluticasone propionate 0.05% topical cream

Fluticasone propionate 0.05% topical cream applied in a thin layer to all affected atopic dermatitis lesions twice daily for 6 weeks, followed by twice-weekly application for 12 weeks as maintenance in patients who achieve more than 75% improvement in SCORAD at Week 6.
