Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria Male and female pediatric patients aged 0.5 years to 15 years with Atopic Dermatitis.

SCORAD Index at D0 = 15 to 50, inclusive. In goodgeneral health as reported by the parent(s)/legal representative(s). Available for the full duration of the study and willing to comply with procedures.

Subjects whose parents or legal representative are willing to sign the .

Exclusion Criteria Use of phototherapy for atopic dermatitis. Use of systemic within 2 weeks prior to the study. Use of or cytostatic drugs within 1 months prior to the study.

Use of antibiotics (topical and systemic) within 15 days prior to the start of the study.

Subjects who are treated with vitamin A-derived compounds or other topical medications for acne in the experimental area during the 30 days prior to the start of the study.

History of sensitivity to the study products, or its components. History or evidence of allergies requiring acute or chronic treatment (except seasonal allergic rhinitis).

Subjects with active infection in atopic dermatitis areas requiring antibiotics, antifungals, or antiviral agents within 7 days before baseline participation in any study that would interfere with the current study.

Fever (temperature> 37.5 °C axillary or equivalent) during 48 hours prior the start of the study.

Pathologies associated with immunodeficiency or cancer processes. Any concurrent dermatologic or medical conditions that may interfere with the investigators ability to assess the subject's response to the study drug or require the continued use of topical corticosteroids.

Subjects who have received the schedule MMR vaccination during the study period or have received the last dose within three weeks prior the start of the study.

Subjects who participates in any study that would interfere with the current study.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

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.

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

Start is estimated for Nov 2026; primary completion for Nov 2028, 24 months later.

Of 69 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Dermatitis, Atopic, half reached primary completion within 8 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 24. This study's planned 24 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 182 studies reached it within 15 months; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 34.

Start moved once since we started tracking on Sep 25, 2026: Aug 2026 → Nov 2026, on Nov 9, 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.
