ATLAS Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new drug to see if it's effective and safe for people with moderate-to-severe eczema that isn't controlled by other treatments.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-80 with moderate-to-severe Atopic Dermatitis (AD) not well-controlled by topical treatments can join. They must have used a non-medicated emollient twice daily for a week before the study, have an EASI score ≥16, IGA score ≥3, and at least 10% body surface area affected. Those who haven't responded to or can't use certain topical meds due to side effects are eligible. People currently on biologics or those without primary response to biologic treatment for AD are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Lirentelimab (AK002), administered subcutaneously every two weeks for seven doses against a placebo in adults with AD inadequately controlled by topical treatments. It's randomized and double-blind, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who gets the real drug versus placebo during the test phase.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of Lirentelimab aren't listed here, similar medications may cause reactions at injection sites, increased risk of infections, potential allergic responses, headaches, nausea and fatigue among others.
