Inclusion Criteria

  • Written informed consent obtained from the subject prior to performing any protocol-related pro-cedures, including screening evaluations
  • Age ≥ 18 years at time of study entry.
  • Diagnosis of chronic atopic dermatitis for at least 1 year prior to enrollment based on American Academy Criteria
  • Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score ≥12 at baseline visit (Week 0)
  • Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) ≥3 at baseline visit (Week 0)
  • Subject is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study
  • Subject receives abrocitinib by the treating dermatologist within routine care

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1. Subject is unable to provide written informed consent or comply with the protocol
  • Concurrent enrolment in another clinical trial where the subject is receiving an IMP or participation in another clinical trial with investigational product during the last 30 days before inclusion or 7 half-lives of previously used trial medication, whichever is longer.
  • Active dermatologic conditions that may confound the diagnosis of AD or would interfere with as-sessment of treatment, such as scabies, cutaneous lymphoma, or psoriasis.
  • Known active allergic or irritant contact dermatitis that is likely to interfere with the assessment of severity of AD.
  • Having used systemic immunosuppressive/immunomodulating therapy (e.g. systemic corticoster-oids methotrexate, cyclosporine, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, JAK inhibitors) or tanning beds or phototherapy during any week within the 4 weeks or receipt of any marketed biologic ther-apy (e.g., dupilumab, tralokinumab) within 3 months or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to baseline
  • Treatment of selected marker skin areas (non-lesional skin at volar forearm and extensor forearm, lesional skin) with topical corticosteroid or topical calcineurin inhibitor 1 week prior to baseline visit and throughout the study.
  • Treatment of skin areas of examination with emollients 24 hours prior to baseline visit and throughout the study.
  • Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in transepidermal water loss (TEWL) at one non-lesional and one lesional marker skin area at week 2 and week 12 compared to baseline/week 0 (day 0).

Time Frame: 12 Weeks

To determine the mean change of TEWL in g/m2/h at one non-lesional and one lesional marker skin site at week 2 and week 12 compared to baseline

Secondary Outcomes

  • Number of epidermal barrier-related genes/pathways differentially expressed in a marker lesional skin site at week 2 and week 12 compared to baseline(12 Weeks)
  • Epidermal thickness and epidermal differentiation markers in a marker lesional skin site at week 2 and week 12 compared to baseline(12 Weeks)
  • Stratum corneum biomarker (cytokine) levels (pg/μg protein) in marker skin sites at week 2 and week 12 compared to baseline(12 Weeks)
  • Composition of Bacterial Taxa of one lesional and non-lesional marker skin area at week 2 and week 12 compared to baseline(12 Weeks)
