Name	Time	Method
Main Objective: • Change in Eczema Area and Severity Index(EASI). Efficacy response will be assessed using EASI.<br><br><br><br>;Secondary Objective: •Change in Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) for atopic dermatitis. Participants dermatitis will be visually assessed and an IGA score will be determined by the Investigator using a prespecified evaluation criteria.<br><br><br>•Number of participants with adverse events. Adverse events will be determined by observation and non-leading questioning of patients, and by measuring safety parameters (electrocardiograms, clinical laboratory, blood pressure)<br><br><br>•QGE031 plasma concentrations. Blood samples will be collected on Day 1(predose),15, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85, 99, 113, 127, 141, 155, and 169 for determination of QGE031 serum levels<br><br><br><br>;Primary end point(s): •Change in Eczema Area and Severity Index(EASI) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Time Frame: baseline, 12 weeks
