Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

A randomised, adaptive design, double-blind, placebo-controlled, first-in-human, two-part study to investigate the safety, tolerability, PK and preliminary efficacy of multiple topical doses of BEN2293 in patients with mild to moderate AD.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: BEN2293 (0.25% or 1.0% w/w) or matching placebo
Phase 1/Phase 2

Detailed Description

This Protocol will be adaptive and designed to enable knowledge gained from the previous cohort to be applied to subsequent cohorts. Changes made will be within the boundaries of the adaptive elements with clear control mechanisms and guidance for staying within these boundaries.

Part A is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, sequential group study to investigate ascending multiple topical doses of BEN2293 in patients with mild to moderate AD. Patients will participate in only one cohort.

Part B is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to investigate up to two dose regimens of topical doses of BEN2293 administered for a maximum of 28 days in patients with mild to moderate AD.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Dose Regimen Low Dose

Low Dose Strength

Drug: BEN2293 (0.25% or 1.0% w/w) or matching placebo
BEN2293 and placebo will be administered as a topical ointment. Both ointments contain the same excipients; placebo ointment has been manufactured in the same way except for the addition of 0.25% and 1.0% (w/w) BEN2293.
Other Names:
  • BEN2293
  • Experimental: Dose Regimen High Dose

    High Dose Strength

    Drug: BEN2293 (0.25% or 1.0% w/w) or matching placebo
    BEN2293 and placebo will be administered as a topical ointment. Both ointments contain the same excipients; placebo ointment has been manufactured in the same way except for the addition of 0.25% and 1.0% (w/w) BEN2293.
    Other Names:
  • BEN2293
  • Placebo Comparator: Placebo

    Placebo

    Drug: BEN2293 (0.25% or 1.0% w/w) or matching placebo
    BEN2293 and placebo will be administered as a topical ointment. Both ointments contain the same excipients; placebo ointment has been manufactured in the same way except for the addition of 0.25% and 1.0% (w/w) BEN2293.
