This research study is for adults 18 to 65 with moderate to severe eczema (atopic dermatitis) that creams and ointments have not controlled well enough. It tests an investigational medicine compared with a placebo. A study team will check if you may be able to join.
This Phase 2b trial recruits adults whose moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis has not responded adequately to topical treatments. If you've used eczema creams or ointments for at least 4 weeks without sufficient relief, or your doctor advises they're unsafe for you, you may qualify. Study sites span Cape Coral, Fort Myers, North Fort Myers, Estero, and Fort Myers Beach. A research team will evaluate your eligibility and explain the investigational medicine being tested. Compensation available for qualified participants.
