Sinecort Pilot Efficacy Study

An Investigator-blind, Randomized, Monocentre, 3-arm, Active Controlled Pilot Trial to Explore the Efficacy and Safety of a New Topical Medical Device in Patients With Mild Atopic Dermatitis in an Intra-individual Comparison With a Standard Therapy (1% Hydrocortisone Cream) and Untreated Skin.

• Any other skin disease at the test area that would interfere the clinical assessment in the opinion of the investigator
• Moles, tattoos, strong pigmentation, or scars at the test area that would interfere the clinical assessment
• Regular intake of antiphlogistic drugs (for example, NSAIDs)
• Any condition or treatment which might influence the trial (e.g. any treatment with topical antibiotics, antifungals, or corticoids) within 14 days prior to screening as well as during the trial (exception: topical treatment of AD lesions other than the test areas (for example, face) with low potency steroids restricted to small areas)
• UV-therapy or the use of solarium within 30 days before screening as well as during the trial
• Any alternative treatment of AD (e.g. acupuncture, kinesiology, and homoeopathy) within 30 days before screening as well as during the trial
