Study summary

The main purpose of this study is to see how well different doses of soquelitinib work in participants with atopic dermatitis (AD) as compared to a placebo (pill with no medicine in it). To check this, the study doctors will examine participants' skin regularly to track how their AD changes during the study.

The study doctors will see how safe soquelitinib is by tracking side effects among participants. They will also check "tolerability," which means how well the participants can handle soquelitinib and whether any potential side effects are manageable for them.

To understand how well soquelitinib works, it will be compared with a placebo. Placebo is a substance that looks like soquelitinib but contains no active medicine in it.

Participants will:

  • Take study treatment (soquelitinib or placebo) every day for 12 weeks
  • Visit the clinic for check-ups and tests every week for the first 2 weeks then every 2 weeks during the treatment period, and then return for follow-up visits 30, 60, and 90 days after the last dose of study treatment

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Adult male or female, ≥18 years of age, as applicable according to local legislation, at Screening.
  • Diagnosis of AD with onset of symptoms at least 1 year prior to the Screening visit.
  • Moderate to severe disease at screening and pre-randomization on Day 1 defined by:
  • EASI ≥16
  • Body surface area ≥10%
  • vIGA ≥3
  • PP-NRS average score of ≥4 over a period of 7 days prior to randomization at Day 1.
  • Documented history of prior topical and/or systemic therapy for AD within 6 months of randomization.
  • A female participant is eligible if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and is either of non-, OR of childbearing potential and agrees to use highly effective

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Other concomitant skin conditions that would interfere with evaluations of the effect of study medication on AD.
  • Other active skin diseases or skin infections (bacterial, fungal, or viral) requiring systemic treatment within 30 days of the Baseline visit or that could interfere with the appropriate assessment of AD lesions.
  • Known immunodeficiency syndrome, history of an invasive infection or active non skin-related infection requiring systemic anti-infective treatment within 30 days of Baseline.
  • History of not related to medication, history of medical conditions, or any other reason which in the opinion of the investigator would interfere with the participant's participation in this study.
  • Have an unstable or uncontrolled illness, including but not limited to cerebrocardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, endocrine, hematologic, or neurologic disorders that would potentially affect participant safety within the study or confound efficacy and safety assessments.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

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.

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.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percent change from baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score at Week 12

    EASI is used to measure the severity and extent of atopic dermatitis (AD) and measures erythema, infiltration, excoriation and lichenification on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head and neck, trunk, upper and lower extremities. The total EASI score ranges from 0 (minimum) to 72 (maximum) points, with the higher scores reflecting the worse severity of AD.

    Time frame: Baseline through Week 12

Secondary outcomes

  1. Response of achieving 75% reduction in EASI (EASI75) score at Week 12

    EASI is used to measure the severity and extent of AD and measures erythema, infiltration, excoriation and lichenification on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head and neck, trunk, upper and lower extremities. The total EASI score ranges from 0 (minimum) to 72 (maximum) points, with the higher scores reflecting the worse severity of AD.

    Time frame: Baseline through Week 12

  2. Response of achieving validated Investigator Global Assessment (vIGA) score of 0 or 1 with reduction from Baseline of ≥2 points at Week 12

    vIGA is an assessment scale used to determine severity of AD and clinical response to treatment on a 5-point scale (0 = clear; 1 = almost clear; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; 4 = severe) based on erythema, induration/papulation, lichenification and oozing/crusting, and takes extent of disease into account. Therapeutic response is a IGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear).

    Time frame: Baseline through Week 12

  3. Response of achieving ≥4-point decrease in Peak Pruritus-Numerical Rating Scale (PP-NRS) score at Week 12

    PP-NRS is a validated, single-item, patient-reported outcome of itch severity measured by an 11-point scale for worst itch over the last 24 hours

    Time frame: Baseline through Week 12

  4. Safety and tolerability

    Incidence, nature, and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events of soquelitinib compared with placebo, including changes in laboratory values, vital signs, and electrocardiograms (ECGs)

    Time frame: Up to 30 days after last intervention administration
