About this trial
Atopic dermatitis is a common multifactorial skin disease. Topicals are the mainstay of treatment, but adherence to topicals is often abysmal, possibly worsened by the complexity of recommended treatment algorithms. Giving patients a simple, one drug approach may be advantageous.

Treatments tested in this trial
ruxolitinib
Drugpatients are directed to apply topical ruxolitinib (Opzelura) twice daily to all affected areas until clear, then as needed
ruxolitinib and an Eczema Action Plan
Drugpatients will be directed to apply topical ruxolitinib (Opzelura) twice daily to all affected areas until clear, then as needed.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Adherence percentage
Percentage of expected study medication applications completed during the 8-week treatment period, based on study-collected medication-use data.
Secondary outcomes
Adult Dermatology Life Quality Index (DQLI) scores
Total scores range from 0 to 30. The higher the score, the more significantly the skin disease impairs the patient's quality of life
Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) scores
The total score ranges from 0 to 30. Higher scores indicate a greater impairment in the child's quality of life
Patient Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) scores
The maximum total score is 28 - Higher scores indicate more severe eczema
Patient Satisfaction Survey scores
responses to each Patient Satisfaction Survey question will be analyzed separately. Mean scores for the 1-10 questions will be compared between treatment arms.
