Study to evaluate ATI-045 injection compared to placebo in adults with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis

2 1

What is this study about?

This study focuses on patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, a chronic skin condition causing itchy, inflamed, and scaly rashes. The research evaluates a new medication called ATI-045, which is a humanized monoclonal antibody given as a subcutaneous injection under the skin.

The purpose of this research is to determine how well ATI-045 works compared to placebo in treating atopic dermatitis symptoms. During the study, participants will receive either ATI-045 or placebo injections for a period of 24 weeks. The maximum daily dose of the medication will be 600 mg, with a total maximum dose of 4200 mg over the treatment period.

The medication being tested works by targeting a specific protein in the body called thymic stromal lymphopoietin, which plays a role in causing inflammation in atopic dermatitis. Throughout the study, doctors will monitor how well the treatment works by measuring changes in the severity and extent of skin symptoms. They will also track any side effects that may occur during the treatment period.

1 Initial assessment

You will undergo an evaluation to confirm that you have had atopic dermatitis for at least 6 months

Your skin condition will be assessed using specific measurements including the EASI score (a tool that measures the severity and extent of eczema) which must be 16 or higher

At least 10% of your body surface area must be affected by atopic dermatitis

Your itching severity will be evaluated using a numerical scale

2 Treatment assignment

You will be randomly assigned to receive either ATI-045 or a placebo (inactive substance)

Neither you nor your doctor will know which treatment you are receiving

The medication will be given as an injection under the skin (subcutaneous injection)

3 Treatment period

The treatment period will last for 24 weeks

You will need to continue using your regular non-medicated moisturizer daily throughout the study

Regular assessments of your skin condition will be performed

Your itching severity will be monitored using a daily rating scale

4 Monitoring and assessments

Your skin condition will be regularly evaluated using the EASI score

The affected body surface area will be measured

Blood tests will be performed to monitor your health

Heart measurements (ECG) and vital signs will be checked

Any side effects will be recorded and monitored

5 Final evaluation

After 24 weeks, a final assessment of your skin condition will be performed

The effectiveness of the treatment will be measured by comparing your final EASI score to your initial score

Your overall response to the treatment will be evaluated

Final safety assessments will be conducted

Trial locations

ATI-045 is an investigational medication being studied for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (also known as eczema). This medication is being tested to see how well it works in reducing the severity and area of eczema symptoms compared to placebo. The exact mechanism of how this medication works is not specified in the trial information, but it aims to help patients who have not responded well enough to other treatments for their atopic dermatitis.

Investigated diseases:

Atopic Dermatitis – A chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes itchy, red, swollen, and cracked skin. The condition typically begins in childhood and can continue through adulthood, occurring in periodic flare-ups. It makes the skin very sensitive and prone to dryness, with affected areas often appearing darker or redder than the surrounding skin. The condition commonly appears on the face, hands, feet, and in body areas where the skin flexes, such as inside the elbows and behind the knees. People with atopic dermatitis often experience intense itching, which can lead to scratching and further skin damage.
