Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug for atopic dermatitis (a skin condition). The study is comparing the new drug to a placebo, and looking at different doses of the drug to see what is most effective.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with chronic atopic dermatitis diagnosed for at least a year, having moderate-to-severe symptoms (EASI score ≥16, IGA ≥3), and covering more than 10% of body surface. Participants should have tried topical treatments without success in the past 6 months. Excluded are those with TB, hepatitis B/C, HIV, recent parasite infections or travel to high-risk areas, inadequate prior drug washout periods, certain eye conditions (VKC/AKC), or any condition that could risk safety or study integrity.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing AK120's effectiveness and safety against a placebo in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. It's a phase 2 study where participants are randomly assigned to receive either AK120 or a placebo in a double-blind setup—meaning neither the researchers nor the participants know who gets which treatment until after the results are collected.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of AK120 aren't listed here, common side effects for treatments like this can include skin irritation or redness where applied, itching beyond usual eczema symptoms, potential allergic reactions if sensitive to ingredients in AK120 and general discomfort.
