  • 3. Diagnosis of severe recalcitrant atopic ezcema
  • 4. History of inadequate clinical response (in the opinion of the treating clinician) to mild to potent topical corticosteroids
  • 5. An objective (o)-SCORAD severity score of at least 30

排除标准

  • 1. Serious underlying medical condition which in the opinion of the Investigator would compromise the safety of the patient

  • 3. Any active and/or chronic infection at screening or baseline (randomisation) visit that, based on the investigator's clinical assessment, makes the subject an unsuitable candidate for the study
