Phase 2 Study of Efficacy and Safety of AK120, in Subjects With Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis

Phase 2
Terminated
Conditions
Atopic Dermatitis
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT05048056
Lead Sponsor
Akesobio Australia Pty Ltd
Brief Summary

This is a phase 2, multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, dose-ranging study, conducted in subjects with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis.

Detailed Description

This phase 2 study is designed to explore the efficacy and safety, as well as pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and immunogenicity of dose-ranging AK120 compared to placebo, which will generate information regarding the selection of dosing regimens with AK120 monotherapy treatment in adult subjects with moderate-to-severe AD.

Primary Objectives:

• To evaluate the efficacy of AK120 in the treatment of adult subjects with moderate-to-severe Atopic Dermatitis (AD).

Secondary Objectives:

* To evaluate the safety of AK120 in the treatment of adult subjects with moderate-to-severe AD.

* To evaluate the Pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and immunogenicity of AK120 in adult subjects with moderate-to-severe AD.

Key

Exclusion Criteria
  1. Inadequate washout period for prior drug therapy (eg. corticosteroids, immunosuppressive/ immunomodulating, biologics, phototherapy, Chinese traditional medicine, anti-infective agents).
  2. History of exposure to active TB, and/or history or current evidence of TB infection.
  3. Positive serology results at Screening for hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV.
  4. Any history of vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) or atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC) within 6 months before the baseline visit.
  5. History of clinical parasite infection, recent or planned travel to an area with endemic parasite infection within 6 months before the Screening visit
  6. Any medical or psychiatric condition, laboratory, or ECG parameter which, in the opinion of the Investigator or the Sponsor's medical monitor, would place the subject at risk, interfere with participation in the study, or interfere with the interpretation of study results.
