Inclusion criteria

  1. Male and female pediatric patients ages 2-17 years of age with confirmed diagnosis of atopic dermatitis by Hanifin and Rajka criteria [Hanifin, 1980].
  2. Patients with atopic dermatitis covering 5% to 40% of the body surface area (BSA) and with an Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) of 2 or 3 (mild or moderate atopic dermatitis) at Baseline. Scalp, palms, and soles should be excluded from the BSA calculation to determine eligibility at Baseline.

    Note: Patients with mild disease (IGA = 2) will be limited to approximately 25% of total enrollment.

  3. Females of and male patients who are engaging in sexual activity that could lead to pregnancy must use the following adequate methods while on study and for 2 weeks after stopping the study drug. Acceptable contraception methods are:

    • Male or male partner with vasectomy, OR
    • Male condom AND partner use of one of the contraceptive options below:
    • Spermicide;
    • Contraceptive subdermal implant that meets effectiveness criteria including a \<1% rate of failure per year, as stated in the product label;

Other Eligibility Criteria Considerations:

To assess any potential impact on patient eligibility with regard to safety, the Investigator must refer to the following document for detailed information regarding warnings, precaustions, , adverse events, and other significant data pertaining to the investigational product being used in the study:

  • The current version of the RVT-501 Investigator's Brochure.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(14)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Efficacy - Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score

    Efficacy will be assessed by determining the proportion of patients who achieve an Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score of 0 or 1 and at least a 2-point improvement in IGA at Week 4. The IGA will be assessed at every study visit. The IGA is a 5-point morphological assessment of overall disease severity and will be determined according to the following categories: 0-clear; 1-almost clear; 2-mild disease; 3-moderate disease; 4-severe disease.

    Time frame: 28 days

  2. Efficacy - Eczema Area Severity Index (EASI) score

    Efficacy will be assessed by determining the proportion of patients who achieve a 50% reduction in Eczema Area Severity Index score (EASI-50) at Week 4.The EASI will be assessed at every study visit. It quantifies the severity of a patient's atopic dermatitis based on both lesion severity and the percent of body surface area affected. The EASI is a composite score ranging from 0-72 that takes into account the degree of erythema, induration/papulation, excoriation, and lichenification (each scored from 0 to 3 separately) for each of four body regions, with adjustment for the percent of BSA involved for each body region and for the proportion of the body region relative to the whole body.

    Time frame: 28 days

  3. Efficacy - Peak Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)

    Efficacy will be assessed as change from Baseline to Week 4 in peak pruritus as measured with the 24-hour Peak Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Peak Pruitus NRS will be measured at each visit. The assessment consists of a patient-rated scale of 0-10, where 0 is "No itch" and 10 is the "Worst itch possible."

    Time frame: 28 days

  4. Efficacy - Whole body surface area (BSA) affected

    This exploratory endpoint will be evaluated as the change in total score from Baseline at all visits in whole body BSA (body surface area) affected. Whole body BSA affected will be assessed at every visit.

    Time frame: 28 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Frequency and severity of adverse events (local and systemic)

    Adverse events will be coded using the most current release of MedDRA® (Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities). The number and proportion of subjects with adverse events will be summarized by treatment, system organ class, and preferred term for all adverse events, all adverse events considered by the investigator to be related to study drug, all serious adverse events, and all adverse events leading to study drug discontinuation

    Time frame: 28 days

  2. Plasma concentrations of RVT-501

    PK samples will be collected only at the Week 1 visit in 2-11 year old patients. RVT-501 will be measured in plasma by validated assay to confirm exposure.These plasma concentrations will be listed by metabolite, subject, treatment, and time; and will be summarized by analyte and time.

    Time frame: 7 days

  3. Plasma concentrations of M11 metabolite

    PK samples will be collected only at the Week 1 visit in 2-11 year old patients. The M11 metabolite will be measured in plasma by validated assay to confirm exposure. These plasma concentrations will be listed by metabolite, subject, treatment, and time; and will be summarized by metabolite, treatment and time.

    Time frame: 7 days

Ran from Jan 2018 to primary completion in Jul 2018, 5 months.

Of 195 industry-sponsored phase 2 interventional studies under Dermatitis, Atopic, half reached primary completion within 13 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 17. This study's 5 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 223 studies reached it within 14 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 19.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 19, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
