Brief Summary:

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the potential therapeutic effects of topical CBD products produced by Phoilex Ltd., specifically the Releaf Gel, in those diagnosed with atopic dermatitis. Patients will be routinely assessed via questionnaire, and physical measurements will be taken with respect to the affected area studied in order to judge clinical efficacy.

The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

  • Did you experience an immediate increase in skin hydration?
  • Did you experience a soothing or comforting feeling on your irritated skin area? Please explain where your affected area is located, and also include at what time point this occurred. Example: Affected Area: Palm, Time Point: 1-hour post-application
  • Upon the affected area being in the healing phase, was your skin itch/scratch free for 4/6/10/12 hours (please circle)?
  • Did you experience immediate relief from your skin inflammation?
  • Did the study cream absorb quickly into your skin, without any greasy feeling?
  • Has your skin flare disappeared in 2 week(s)?
  • Has your skin condition appearance improved? (Yes/No)

Participants will apply Phoilex Releaf Gel (a cream) to their affected areas of atopic dermatitis. The questions listed above shall be discussed and observations recorded at the 0 week, 1 week, 2 week, and 4 week time points. Additional monitoring questions may be asked of the participants to ensure the safety of the product. A chart will be provided to the participants to track Phoilex Releaf Gel usage (how many pumps, and time of day) throughout duration of the study.

We hypothesize that Releaf gel will be suitable to ameliorate the common signs and symptoms of atopic dermatitis as well as improve patient quality of life.

Patients will be given the Releaf Gel to apply to the affected areas daily. They will be examined at the following time points: Immediately after application, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks.

The instructions given to the patient shall be to apply one pump per every affected area, wash hands before applying to affected area, apply twice a day (morning, and evening), apply on clean skin, and application after showering is advised.

The number of pumps of Phoilex Releaf gel will be documented within a chart provided to the patient. It is suggested that not more than 25 lesions compassing an area greater than 50 cm² in total be treated during the course of this study.

The maximum dose would be 240 mL of Phoilex Releaf gel in 30 days. The minimum dose would be 0.5 mL (one pump) of the Phoilex Releaf gel in 30 days. The maximum daily dose of CBD per day 46 mg per application, equivalent to 92 mg per day.
