Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing a new drug called UCB1381 to see if it is safe and well-tolerated when given through a vein or under the skin. The study includes both healthy individuals and those with atopic dermatitis, a condition causing red, itchy skin. The drug likely works by calming the immune system to reduce skin inflammation.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

Yes, participants must stop taking certain medications before joining the trial. Specifically, those with atopic dermatitis must stop using topical therapies for 2 weeks and systemic therapies for 4 weeks before the study starts. Other medications, except for some exceptions like contraceptives and occasional pain relievers, must be stopped 14 days before the study.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for healthy adults aged 18-55 with a BMI of 18-30 kg/m2, and adults aged 18-65 with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD), a BMI of 18-35 kg/m2, and certain severity scores. Participants must not have used specific treatments recently or have conditions that could affect the study.

Inclusion Criteria

Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 30.

I have had severe skin eczema for over a year, not better with usual creams.

I agree to use birth control during the study.

Exclusion Criteria

Part B Participants with moderate to severe Atopic dermatitis (AtD) must not have participated in another study of an IMP within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) of the Baseline Visit or is currently participating in another study of an IMP

Part B Participants with moderate to severe Atopic dermatitis (AtD) must not have a history or presence of any medical or psychiatric condition, physical examination finding, laboratory test result, electrocardiogram (ECG), or vital sign that, in the opinion of the investigator, could significantly alter the absorption, metabolism, or elimination of drugs; constitute a risk when taking the study intervention; or interfere with the interpretation of data

I have moderate to severe Atopic dermatitis and haven't been in studies for IL-13 or IL-22 or JAK inhibitors recently.
