Key information

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Adults aged 19 to 70 years at the time of informed consent.
  • Diagnosis of atopic dermatitis according to the Hanifin and Rajka criteria at screening.
  • History of atopic dermatitis for at least 24 weeks prior to screening.
  • Moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis at screening, defined as:
  • EASI score ≥16
  • SCORAD score ≥25
  • Body Surface Area (BSA) involvement ≥10%
  • vIGA score ≥3
  • Inadequate response to prior standard topical and/or systemic treatments for atopic dermatitis, or inability to receive such treatments due to safety concerns.
  • Voluntary written informed consent provided.

Exclusion criteria

  • Presence of clinically significant comorbidities at screening, including:
  • Active infection requiring antimicrobial treatment within 2 weeks prior to baseline, or superficial skin infection within 1 week prior to baseline;
  • Skin diseases that require ongoing treatment or may interfere with safety or efficacy assessments;
  • Uncontrolled asthma requiring oral corticosteroids;
  • Positive test results for hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or syphilis;
  • Other uncontrolled or clinically significant medical conditions that may affect study participation or assessments;
  • Clinically significant abnormal laboratory results at screening (e.g., AST or ALT > 3 × ULN, serum creatinine > 2 × ULN).
  • History of prohibited treatments prior to baseline, including:
  • Use of JAK inhibitors within 4 weeks;
  • Use of biologic therapies for atopic dermatitis within 12 weeks;
  • Use of systemic immunosuppressants, immunomodulators, or systemic corticosteroids within 4 weeks;
  • Use of topical corticosteroids, topical PDE-4 inhibitors, or topical calcineurin inhibitors within 2 weeks;
  • Participation in another clinical trial with an investigational drug or device within 4 weeks prior to screening;
  • Prior treatment with cell therapy or gene therapy.
  • History of malignancy within 5 years prior to screening, except adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer without recurrence.
  • History of tanning within 4 weeks prior to baseline.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or women planning pregnancy during the study period.
  • Women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to use adequate contraception from the time of informed consent through the end of the study.
  • Known or suspected hypersensitivity to the investigational product or any of its components.
  • Any other condition that, in the investigator's judgment, makes the participant unsuitable for participation in the study.

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of participants who achieve a score of 0 or 1 on the validated Investigator's Global Assessment (vIGA) scale at Visit 6, and demonstrate at least a 2-point reduction from baseline(Visit 2)

    Time frame: From baseline to Weeks 16

    validated Investigator's Global Assessment [vIGA], 0-4, higher scores indicate worse disease severity

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline (Visit 2) in vIGA score

    Time frame: From baseline to Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24

  2. Percentage of participants with a vIGA score reduction of 1 point or ≥2 points from baseline (Visit 2)

    Time frame: From baseline to Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24

  3. Percentage of participants with a vIGA score of 0 or 1 at Week 24

    Time frame: From baseline to Week 24

  4. Percentage of participants with a ≥50% reduction in total EASI score from baseline (Visit 2)

    Time frame: From baseline to Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24

    Eczema Area and Severity Index [EASI], 0-72, higher scores indicate worse disease severity

  5. Percentage of participants with a ≥75% reduction in total EASI score from baseline (Visit 2)

    Time frame: From baseline to Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24

  6. Percentage of participants with a ≥90% reduction in total EASI score from baseline (Visit 2)

    Time frame: From baseline to Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24

  7. Change from baseline (Visit 2) in total EASI score

    Time frame: From baseline to Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24

  8. Percentage of participants with a ≥50% reduction in total SCORAD score from baseline (Visit 2)

    Time frame: From baseline to Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24

    Scoring Atopic Dermatitis [SCORAD], 0-103, higher scores indicate worse disease severity

  9. Percentage of participants with a ≥75% reduction in total SCORAD score from baseline (Visit 2)

    Time frame: From baseline to Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24

  10. Change from baseline (Visit 2) in total SCORAD score

    Time frame: From baseline to Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24

  11. Change from baseline (Visit 2) in individual SCORAD item scores

    Time frame: From baseline to Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24

  12. Change from baseline (Visit 2) in DLQI score

    Time frame: From baseline to Weeks 8, 16, and 24

    Dermatology Life Quality Index [DLQI], 0-30, higher scores indicate worse quality of life

  13. Percentage of participants using rescue medication, number of uses, and total amount used

    Time frame: From Week -6 (Visit 1) to Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24
