Amlitelimab for Eczema
(ATLANTIS Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to test the long-term safety and effectiveness of a new treatment called amlitelimab for individuals with moderate to severe eczema, a skin condition causing itchy, inflamed patches. Participants will receive amlitelimab through under-the-skin injections for nearly five years. The trial seeks individuals aged 12 and up who have had eczema for at least one year and have not found success with other treatments. As a Phase 2 trial, the research focuses on measuring the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group of people.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the study team or your doctor to get a clear answer based on your specific situation.
Is there any evidence suggesting that amlitelimab is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that amlitelimab is generally well-tolerated. In studies, most participants did not experience serious side effects. One study found the treatment safe, with no unexpected or severe issues. Another study noted improvements in atopic dermatitis (a skin condition causing itchy, inflamed skin) without major safety concerns. These findings suggest amlitelimab is safe for many, but consulting a healthcare provider before joining a trial is always important.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for eczema?
Amlitelimab is unique because it targets a specific part of the immune system called OX40L, which plays a role in the inflammation seen in eczema. Unlike traditional treatments like topical steroids or immunosuppressants that can have broad effects, Amlitelimab's targeted action may result in fewer side effects and improved safety. Researchers are excited about this treatment because it offers a new approach to managing eczema, potentially providing relief for patients who do not respond well to existing therapies.
What evidence suggests that amlitelimab might be an effective treatment for eczema?
Research has shown that amlitelimab, the investigational treatment in this trial, offers promising results for treating moderate to severe eczema. A recent study found that amlitelimab significantly reduced eczema symptoms and was well tolerated by patients over a year. Many patients experienced a 50% to 90% decrease in their eczema symptoms. These improvements suggest amlitelimab could effectively treat those with atopic dermatitis.14678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) who haven't responded well to topical treatments can join this study. They must have had AD for over a year, an Eczema Area Severity Index score of 16+, and cover at least 10% of their body. Pregnant or breastfeeding women are excluded, as are those with certain infections like TB, HIV, hepatitis B/C, or recent vaccinations.Inclusion Criteria
