Inclusion criteria

  • Age 18 and above.
  • Diagnosis of AD as defined by the Hanifin and Rajka 1980 criteria for AD.
  • History of AD for ≥1 year.
  • Subjects who have a recent history of inadequate response to treatment with topical medications or for whom topical treatments are otherwise medically inadvisable.
  • AD involvement of ≥10% body surface area at screening and baseline.
  • Stable dose of emollient twice daily (or more, as needed) for at least 14 days before baseline.
  • Willingness to abstain from consumption of any 1 or more of the following items in the periods specified:
  • ±7 days within each cocktail dosing visit: foods/beverages that affect the CYP system:
  • Grapefruit or grapefruit juice, Seville oranges or orange juice, starfruit, pomegranate and cranberry juices, red wine, red grape extract.
  • Cruciferous vegetables (for example broccoli).
  • Chargrilled meat.
  • ±48 hours within each cocktail dosing visit: caffeinated beverages and foods/drugs that contain caffeine.

Exclusion criteria

  • Administration, within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to Day -7, of any medication that is a known inducer or inhibitor of 1 or more of the following CYP enzymes: CYP3A, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYD2D6, and CYP1A2.
  • Subjects who are poor metabolisers of CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP2D6, based on genotyping.
  • Any contraindication to 1 or more of the following drugs, according to the applicable labelling: caffeine, warfarin, omeprazole, metoprolol, or midazolam.
  • Consumption of any 1 or more of the following items in the periods specified:
  • ±7 days within each cocktail dosing visit: foods/beverages that affect the CYP system:
  • Grapefruit or grapefruit juice, Seville oranges or orange juice, starfruit, pomegranate and cranberry juices, red wine, red grape extract.
  • Cruciferous vegetables (for example broccoli).
  • Chargrilled meat.
  • ±48 hours within each cocktail dosing visit: caffeinated beverages and foods/drugs that contain caffeine.
  • Nausea or diarrhoea 1 week prior to Day -7.
  • Active dermatologic conditions that may confound the diagnosis of AD.
  • Use of tanning beds or phototherapy within 5 weeks prior to Day -7.
  • Treatment with systemic immunosuppressive/immunomodulating drugs and/or systemic corticosteroid within 3 weeks prior to Day -7.
  • Treatment with topical corticosteroids, topical calcineurin inhibitors, or topical phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitors within 1 week prior to Day -7.
  • Receipt of any marketed biological therapy or investigational biologic agent (including immunoglobulin, anti-IgE, or dupilumab):
  • Any cell-depleting agents, including but not limited to rituximab: within 6 months prior to Day -7, or until lymphocyte count returns to normal, whichever is longer.
  • Other biologics: within 3 months or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to Day -7.
  • Active skin infection within 1 week prior to Day -7.
  • Clinically significant infection within 4 weeks prior to Day -7.
  • A helminth parasitic infection within 6 months prior to the date informed consent is obtained.
  • Tuberculosis requiring treatment within 12 months prior to screening.
  • Known primary immunodeficiency disorder.

Treatment and study plan

Tralokinumab

Drug

Human recombinant monoclonal antibody of the IgG4 subclass that specifically binds to human IL-13 and blocks interaction with the IL-13 receptors. Presented as a liquid formulation for subcutaneous injection.

Caffeine

Drug

1x 100 mg tablet

Warfarin

Drug

2x 5 mg tablets

Omeprazole

Drug

1x 20 mg capsule

metoprolol

Drug

1x 100 mg tablet

Midazolam Hydrochloride

Drug

1 mL of 2 mg/mL oral solution/syrup

Primary outcomes

  1. Ratio of the AUC-last at Week 15 (after multiple doses of tralokinumab) to that on Day -7 (at baseline) for each of the 5 substrates

    Time frame: Day -7 and Week 15

    AUC-last = area under the plasma concentration curve from time 0 to the last quantifiable observation

  2. Ratio of the Cmax at Week 15 (after multiple doses of tralokinumab) to that on Day -7 (at baseline) for each of the 5 substrates

    Time frame: Day -7 and Week 15

    Cmax = maximum observed plasma concentration

Secondary outcomes

  1. Ratio of the AUC-last on Day 8 (after a single dose of tralokinumab) to that on Day -7 (at baseline) for each of the 5 substrates

    Time frame: Day -7 and Day 8

    AUC-last = area under the plasma concentration curve from time 0 to the last quantifiable observation

  2. Ratio of the Cmax on Day 8 (after a single dose of tralokinumab) to that on Day -7 (at baseline) for each of the 5 substrates

    Time frame: Day -7 and Day 8

    Cmax = maximum observed plasma concentration

  3. Ratio of the AUC-inf on Day 8 (after a single dose of tralokinumab) to that on Day -7 (at baseline) for each of the 5 substrates

    Time frame: Day -7 and Day 8

    AUC-inf = area under the plasma concentration curve from time 0 to infinity

  4. Number of adverse events

    Time frame: From Day 1 up to Week 30

  5. Presence of anti-drug antibodies (yes/no)

    Time frame: From Day 1 up to Week 30
