About this trial

This is a randomized, double-blind phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AK139 in the treatment of patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Able to understand the study and voluntarily sign the ICF.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) diagnosed at least 6 months before screening.

Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score ≥16, Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score ≥3, and Body surface area (BSA) involvement ≥10% at both screening and baseline.

A weekly average of daily Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (P-NRS) score ≥4 at baseline.

Disqualifiers

Acute onset of AD within the first 4 weeks of randomization.

Received systemic corticosteroids, immunosuppressive/immunomodulatory drugs, phototherapy or other systemic therapies used for AD within the 4 weeks before randomization.

Received treatment with other clinical research drugs (non-biological agents) within the first 4 weeks or 5 half-lives of randomization (whichever is longer)

Received or planned to receive live vaccine treatment within the 12 weeks before randomization or during the study period.
