What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests lebrikizumab, a treatment for eczema, to evaluate its effectiveness when used alone. The goal is to determine if it can reduce eczema patches, particularly those that are very itchy. Individuals with eczema for at least a year, who find ointments or creams ineffective, might be suitable for this study. Participants will receive the treatment for about six months and will be involved in the trial for approximately nine and a half months. As a Phase 4 trial, this research aims to understand how the already FDA-approved and effective treatment benefits more patients.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial requires that you stop taking certain medications before starting, such as systemic immunosuppressive drugs and biologic therapies for eczema. If you're on these, you'll need to stop them at least 4 weeks before the trial begins.

What is the safety track record for this treatment?

Research has shown that lebrikizumab is generally safe for people with moderate-to-severe eczema (also known as atopic dermatitis). Earlier studies demonstrated a good safety record for lebrikizumab, with no new or unexpected side effects found in adults and teenagers.

Lebrikizumab is already approved in the U.S. for treating moderate-to-severe eczema, indicating its safety for other patients with this condition.

Overall, current evidence supports the safety of lebrikizumab for those considering participation in this clinical trial. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why are researchers enthusiastic about this study treatment?

Lebrikizumab is unique because it targets eczema differently than current options. Most treatments for eczema, like topical steroids or calcineurin inhibitors, focus on reducing inflammation at the skin's surface. Lebrikizumab, on the other hand, is a monoclonal antibody that works by blocking the activity of interleukin-13 (IL-13), a key protein involved in the inflammatory pathway that causes eczema. This targeted approach may offer more precise control of the condition with potentially fewer side effects. Researchers are excited about the possibility of improved effectiveness and safety compared to traditional therapies.

What is the effectiveness track record for lebrikizumab in treating eczema?

Research has shown that lebrikizumab, the investigational treatment in this trial, effectively treats moderate-to-severe eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis. In two studies, after 16 weeks, about 68.4% of patients experienced significant improvement in their skin condition, compared to 40.8% who did not receive the treatment. Another study found that lebrikizumab consistently reduced eczema symptoms over 36 weeks. The treatment is considered safe and has improved the quality of life for people with eczema. Lebrikizumab works similarly well to other treatments like dupilumab, making it a strong option for managing eczema. ^{2 3 6 7 8}

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults and adolescents with moderate atopic dermatitis (eczema) who experience a high level of itchiness. Participants should have fewer affected areas, but these should be significantly itchy. The study will last about 9 and a half months, including 6 months of treatment.

Inclusion Criteria

Have an Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score ≥16 at screening and baseline

Have an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score ≥3 at screening and baseline

I rate my itchiness at 6 or more out of 10.

Exclusion Criteria

I frequently need oral steroids for a chronic condition.

I have liver cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis.

I haven't had cancer in the last 5 years, except for certain skin cancers or cervical cancer that were fully treated.
