- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Safety of 3% AKP-11 ointment. This is assessed by drug related adverse events, physical examination, vital signs, ECG, laboratory assessment (haematology, plasma biochemistry, and urinalysis) and skin irritation assessment, as reported by investigator and by participant in study diary.[Day 1, 8, 15, 22, 28 and End of Study (EOS) visit (Day 7 post last treatment day) ];Change in Local-Investigator Global assessment (L-IGA) from baseline using 6-point scale.[Day 1, 8, 15, 22, 28 and EOS];Change in Local Eczema Area and Severity Index (L-EASI) score from the baseline, using a 4-point severity scale.[Day 1, 8, 15, 22, 28 and EOS]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score from baseline.[Day 1 and 28];Change in severity of atopic dermatitis, as assessed by SCORAD.[Day 1, 8, 15, 22, 28 and EOS];Change in pruritus score. The participant diaries will be provided to the participants that include the details how to score pruritus. Participant need to mark a line on a horizontal 10 cm long VAS scale. The study personnel will advise the participants how to mark the VAS scale during the Day 1 visit and ensure the participants are correctly marking VAS scale at every site visit. The participants will refer the table and imagine the intensity of pruritus they experience. [Day 1, 8, 22, 28 and EOS]
