About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Atopic Dermatitis focused on measuring atopic dermatiits, adolescent, adults, in-home, telemedicine

Eligibility Criteria

12 Years - 70 Years (Child, Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants with diagnosis of AD for at least 6 months.
  • Participants with an overall and a face and/or neck IGA score of 2 or 3 at screening and baseline.
  • Participants with AD affecting the following at screening and baseline:

    1. ≥ 0.5% of the total BSA on the face and/or neck
    2. Up to a total of 20% BSA (face and/or neck plus other body areas)
  • Willingness to avoid pregnancy or fathering children based on the criteria outlined in the protocol.
  • Further inclusion criteria apply.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants who have an unstable course of AD (spontaneously improving or rapidly deteriorating) as determined by the investigator over the previous 4 weeks prior to baseline.
  • Participants with concurrent conditions and history of other diseases such as immunocompromised; chronic or acute infection requiring systemic treatments; active acute skin infection; other concomitant skin conditions that may interfere with the evaluation of AD or compromise participant safety; other types of eczema; chronic asthma requiring high dose of inhaled corticosteroids.
  • Any serious illness or medical, physical, or psychiatric condition(s) that, in the investigator's opinion, would interfere with full participation in the study, including administration of study drug and attending required study visits; pose a significant risk to the participant; or interfere with interpretation of study data.
  • Previous treatment with systemic or topical JAK inhibitors (eg, ruxolitinib, tofacitinib, baricitinib, filgotinib, lestaurtinib, pacritinib).
  • Participants who are pregnant (or who are considering pregnancy) or lactating.
  • Laboratory values outside of the protocol -defined criteria

Arm Type

Experimental

Experimental

Arm Label

Double-blind Period: vehicle cream or Ruxolitinib cream 1.5% BID

Open Label Extension: Ruxolitiib cream 1.5%

Arm Description

Participants will be treated with ruxolitinib cream 1.5% or vehicle cream twice a day (BID) in a double-blind fashion.

Patients will be treated with Ruxoltinib cream 1.5% twice per day (BID) during the open label extension period. Participants who complete the double-blind period will continue into this open-label extension period for an additional 4 weeks of treatment.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Double-Blind Period: Proportion of participants who achieve an EASI75 of the head and neck region
Defined as >=75% improvement in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score of the head and neck region. EASI is a validated composite scoring system integrating the proportion of the body region (area) involved and the intensity of key signs of atopic dermatitis (AD). The EASI score examines 4 areas of the body and weights them for participants 8 years of age and older as follows: Head/Neck (H) = 0.1, Upper limbs (UL) = 0.2, Trunk (T) = 0.3, and Lower limbs (LL) = 0.4. The severity strata for the EASI are as follows: 0 = clear; 0.1 to 1.0 = almost clear; 1.1 to 7.0 = mild; 7.1 to 21.0 = moderate; 21.1 to 50.0 = severe; 50.1 to 72.0 = very severe. The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The total EASI score ranges from 0 to 72. A higher score indicated worse disease status, and a negative change from baseline indicated improvement.

The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body.

The total EASI score ranges from 0 to 72. A higher score indicated worse disease status, and a negative change from baseline indicated improvement.
Number of treatment-related adverse events
Defined as any adverse event either reported for the first time or worsening of a pre-existing event after first dose of study drug.
