Study summary

This is a Phase I, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating HXN5003 in healthy participants and patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).

The study consists of two parts: Part A (single ascending dose in healthy participants) and Part B (multiple ascending dose in AD patients).

The primary objectives are to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of HXN5003.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Participants must be able to understand and comply with the study requirements and voluntarily sign the form (ICF).
  2. (Healthy Participants) Male or female participants aged 18 to 50 years (inclusive) at the time of signing the ICF.
  3. (Healthy Participants) Male participants weighing ≥ 50.0 kg and female participants weighing ≥ 45.0 kg, with a (BMI) between 19.0 and 26.0 kg/m² (inclusive).
  4. (Patients with AD) Male or female participants aged 18 to 70 years (inclusive)
  5. (Patients with AD) Participants must have documented AD history, moderate-to-severe disease, and inadequate response to topical therapy at screening.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Presence of any disease at randomization, as judged by the investigator.
  2. History of severe drug allergy or systemic anaphylactic reactions, such as anaphylactic shock, laryngeal edema, etc.
  3. Known or suspected history of , or history of invasive opportunistic infections, including infections that are unusually frequent, recurrent, or prolonged in duration as judged by the investigator, even after resolution of the infection.
  4. Participants who have resided long-term in regions with high prevalence of Human Herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8), such as Africa or the Mediterranean coastal areas.
  5. History of or malignant disease, with the exception of surgically excised cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in situ, basal cell carcinoma, and cervical carcinoma in situ that have been in complete remission for more than 5 years without any evidence of recurrence.
  6. Female participants who are breastfeeding or pregnant, or women of with a positive serum pregnancy test result at screening.
  7. Participants with a chronic active infection or a condition that would seriously interfere with study drug administration at baseline within 4 weeks prior to randomization; or a superficial skin infection requiring treatment within 1 week prior to randomization; or an acute illness within 48 hours prior to randomization.
  8. (Patients with AD) Other than AD, A history of clinically significant disease which is poorly controlled or could pose a safety risk to the participant or confound the safety assessment, as judged by the Investigator to compromise participant safety in the study.
  9. (Patients with AD) Positive results in any of the following infectious disease screening tests: 1)History of active tuberculosis, or positive result at screening (T-SPOT.TB or QuantiFERON-TB Gold); 2)Positive for ; 3)Positive antibody; 4)Positive Treponema pallidum antibody; 5)History of infection, or positive HIV antibody.
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.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
