They must have had AD for at least two years and not responded well to or can't use topical steroids and calcineurin inhibitors. Participants need an IGA score of 3, EASI score above 7, significant itchiness, and a DLQI score over 10.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Ruxolitinib Cream against a placebo cream (Vehicle Cream) in adults with moderate AD who haven't seen improvement from standard treatments like topical steroids or are unable to use them due to intolerance or contraindications.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects of Ruxolitinib Cream may include application site reactions such as burning or irritation, headaches, increased risk of infections due to immune system effects, and possibly other skin issues.

5Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: VC Period: Ruxolitinib 1.5% Cream BIDExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants received ruxolitinib 1.5% cream, applied topically to the affected areas as a thin film twice daily (BID) from Day 1 to Week 8 during the Vehicle Control (VC) Period. Participants applied cream BID to areas identified at Baseline even if the areas improved.
Group II: VC Extension Period: Ruxolitinib 1.5% cream open-label escape armExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants received ruxolitinib 1.5% cream, applied topically to the affected areas as a thin film twice daily (BID) during the VCE Period. Participants applied cream BID to areas identified at Baseline even if the areas improved.
Group III: VC Extension Period/Escape Arm: Ruxolitinib 1.5% Cream BIDExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants who applied ruxolitinib 1.5% cream during VC Period, continued applying ruxolitinib 1.5% cream topically to the affected areas as a thin film BID from Week 8 to 24 during the Vehicle Control Extension (VCE) Period. Participants stopped treatment 3 days after lesions disappeared and restarted at the first sign of recurrence.
Group IV: VC Period: Vehicle Cream BIDPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Participants received vehicle cream, applied topically to the affected areas as a thin film twice daily (BID) from Day 1 to Week 8 during the VC Period. Participants applied cream BID to areas identified at Baseline even if the areas improved.
Group V: VC Extension Period/Escape Arm: Vehicle Cream BIDPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Participants who applied vehicle cream during the VC Period, continued applying vehicle cream as a thin film twice daily (BID) from Weeks 8 to 24 during the VCE Period. Participants applied cream BID to areas identified at Baseline even if the areas improved. Participants will be eligible to enter the ruxolitinib 1.5% cream open-label escape arm as defined in the protocol.
