Summary

This trial will test if a new drug, upadacitinib, is effective and safe for treating moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in adolescents and adults.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adolescents and adults with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) who weigh at least 40 kg, have a history of inadequate response to certain topical treatments, and are candidates for systemic therapy. Participants should not be pregnant or breastfeeding, must discontinue other eczema treatments before the study, and cannot have used JAK inhibitors previously.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Upadacitinib's effectiveness in treating moderate to severe eczema compared to a placebo. It aims to see if this drug can improve symptoms in those who haven't responded well enough to topical therapies.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, common ones associated with drugs like Upadacitinib may include infections, headaches, nausea, and potential liver issues. The exact side effects will be monitored throughout the trial.
