Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is an interventional, randomized, parallel group, treatment, Phase IIb, double blind, 4-arm study to assess the effect of pegylated-recombinant-human interleukin-2 (rezpegaldesleukin) in adult participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.

The estimated duration is 15-35 days for screening and then up to approximately day 378 (last dose on day 280 + 98 days safety follow-up) for all patients. Patients with a response at Week 16 (end of induction therapy) will be re-randomized for the maintenance therapy period.

Anticipated Enrollment :
396 participants
Allocation:
Randomized
Intervention Model:
Parallel Assignment
Intervention Model Description:
Patients will be randomized initially to 1 of 4 groups (A dose regimen, B dose regimen, C dose regimen, or D dose regimen [placebo]) for the blinded induction period. At Week 16, the start of the blinded maintenance period, patients who responded well to treatment will be re-randomized within their previously assigned groups to either maintenance regimen 1 or maintenance regimen 2. At Week 16, patients without an adequate response during the blinded induction period may be assigned to receive open label escape therapy through the maintenance period of the study (up to Week 40); however, patients receiving escape therapy with inadequate improvement in disease severity will be discontinued from the study therapy at week 32. Any patients enrolled into the blinded maintenance period with acute exacerbation of atopic dermatitis may be eligible to receive open label escape therapy instead.Patients will be randomized initially to 1 of 4 groups (A dose regimen, B dose regimen, C dose regimen, or D dose regimen [placebo]) for the blinded induction period.
