Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: ENS-002Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
ENS-002 lotion to be applied topically either once or twice per day depending on assigned study cohort. Cohort 1 - once daily dose (QD) of low dose ENS-002. This dose will be applied topically to a single target site once daily for 7 days. Cohort 2 - QD dose of high dose ENS-002 in subjects with moderate to severe Atopic Dermatitis. This dose will be applied topically to all affected skin (excluding scalp, face, groin, genitalia) once daily for 14 days. Cohort 3 - twice daily (BID) dose of high dose ENS-002 in subjects with moderate to severe Atopic Dermatitis applied topically to all affected skin (excluding scalp, face, groin, genitalia) twice daily for 14 days
