Study summary

The primary objective of the study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of nemolizumab in pediatric participants (aged 6-23 months) with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) who are not adequately controlled with topical treatments.

Read the detailed description

Participants will be screened up to 4 weeks prior to the Baseline visit. At Baseline/Day 1, all participants will receive a loading dose of nemolizumab high dose administered subcutaneously (SC), followed by nemolizumab low dose SC every 4 weeks (Q4W) during the 52-week treatment period, with the final study treatment administered at Week 48.

After completion of the 52-week treatment period, participants will enter an 8-week safety follow-up period through Week 60. Participants who prematurely discontinue the study before the Week 48 visit will be followed for 12 weeks after their last administration of study treatment.

Inclusion criteria

  • Participants greater than and equal to (>=) 6 to less than (\<) 24 months of age at the screening visit.
  • Diagnosis of AD according to the American Academy of Dermatology Consensus Criteria at the time of the screening visit.
  • Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score >= 16 at both screening and baseline visits.
  • Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score >= 3 (based on the IGA scale ranging from 0 to 4, in which 3 is moderate and 4 is severe) at both screening and baseline visits.
  • AD involvement >= 10 percent (%) of body surface area (BSA) at both screening and baseline visits. (Note: BSA to be derived from the SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD).)
  • Weekly average of worst scratch/itch Numeric Rating Scale (WSI-NRS) score of at least 4 at both screening and baseline visits as assessed by the parent(s)/caregiver:

    • Screening WSI-NRS score will be determined by a single WSI-NRS assessment (score ranging from 0 to 10) for the 24-hour period immediately preceding the screening visit.
    • Baseline WSI-NRS score will be determined based on the average of daily WSI-NRS scores (score ranging from 0 to 10) during the 7 days immediately preceding baseline (rounding not permitted). A minimum of 4 daily scores out of the 7 days immediately preceding baseline is required for this calculation. For participants who do not have at least 4 daily scores reported during the 7 days immediately preceding the planned enrollment date, enrollment should be postponed until this requirement is met, without exceeding the maximum screening duration of 4 weeks.
  • Documented history by a physician and/or investigator of inadequate response to existing topical AD medications or use of systemic therapies for control of the disease (within 6 months before the screening visit).
  • Participant's parent(s)/caregiver willing and able to comply with all time commitments and procedural requirements of the clinical study protocol.
  • Participant's parent(s)/caregiver understand and sign a parental Form (ICF) before any study-related procedures are performed.
  • Participant's parent(s)/caregiver agree to apply a moisturizer daily from the screening visit and liberally as needed throughout the study; if applying a prescribed topical (TCS) prior to study enrollment, agree to continue at the same stable dose from screening and throughout the study as determined appropriate by the investigator.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria

Coal tar products - 2 weeks Topical Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor - 2 weeks Topical phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4) inhibitor - 2 weeks Medium and higher potency TCS - 2 weeks Topical calcineurin inhibitor (TCI) - 2 weeks Topical medications with occlusive dressings (e.g., wet wraps) - 2 weeks Systemic (inhaled and intraocular permitted) - 4 weeks or immunomodulatory drugs (e.g., cyclosporine A, oral tacrolimus, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil, JAK inhibitors) - 4 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) Biologics and biosimilars (e.g., etanercept, adalimumab, infliximab, omalizumab) - 8 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) Dupilumab - 10 weeks Live (attenuated) vaccine - 4 weeks Alternative medicine for AD (e.g., traditional Chinese medicine) - 2 weeks For participants with planned live (attenuated) vaccination during the study, consultation with a pediatrician will determine whether vaccination should be postponed until study completion or administered before study start without compromising health. Inactivated vaccines (e.g., diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DPT), hepatitis A, , inactivated polio vaccine (IPV), haemophilus influenzae type B, meningococcal, pneumococcal, influenza) are permitted.

  • Participants who, after a full 16-week treatment course with dupilumab, experienced worsening of AD or failed to achieve minimal improvement (e.g., \<= 10% reduction in EASI or no reduction in IGA).

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

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.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

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.

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.
