  • Have active moderate to severe AD at screening and baseline visits
  • EASI score ≥ 16 and ≥10% BSA at the screening and baseline visits
  • History of inadequate response to treatment for AD with topical medications; or determination that topical treatments are otherwise medically inadvisable (e.g., because of important side effects or safety risks)
  • Patient applied a stable dose of non-medicated topical moisturizer (ideally once or twice daily) for ≥ 7 days prior to the baseline visit and agrees to continue use during study

    9. An investigational drug (non-biologic) within 4 weeks or within 5 half-lives (if known), whichever is longer prior to the baseline visit (W0D1)
    10. Phototherapy and photochemotherapy for AD within 4 weeks prior to the baseline visit (W0D1)
    11. A live (attenuated) vaccine within 12 weeks prior to the baseline visit (W0D1)

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

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.

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.

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.

ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedDate before it movedWhere the date was before it movedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from May 2025 to primary completion in Sep 2026, 15 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 15 months is above that.

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

Since we started tracking on Sep 25, 2026, the dates moved once, on Sep 29, 2026: primary completion Aug 2026 → Sep 2026 and completion Oct 2026 → Nov 2026.

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.
