This is an interventional basic science trial for Atopic Dermatitis Read More

Inclusion Criteria:

• Chronic atopic dermatitis (AD) for at least 2 years before the screening visit, and confirmed according to American Academy of Dermatology Consensus Criteria at the time of the screening visit
• Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score greater than or equal to (>=) 16 at both the screening and baseline visits
• IGA score >= 3 (based on the Investigator's Global Assessment [IGA] scale ranging from 0 to 4, in which 3 is moderate and 4 is severe) at both the screening and baseline visits
• AD involvement >=10 percent (%) of body surface area (BSA) at both the screening and baseline visits
• Peak (maximum) pruritus numeric rating scale (PP NRS) score of at least 4.0 at both the screening and baseline visit
• Documented recent history (within 6 months before the screening visit) of inadequate response to topical medications (topical corticosteroid [TCS] with or without topical calcineurin inhibitor [TCI])

Exclusion Criteria:

• Body weight less than (<) 45 kilogram (kg)
• Participants meeting 1 or more of the following criteria at screening or baseline: (a) Had an exacerbation of asthma requiring hospitalization in the preceding 12 months; (b) Reporting asthma that has not been well-controlled in the previous 3 months; (c) Asthma Control Test (ACT) <= 19 (for those with a history of asthma); (d) Peak expiratory flow < 80% of the predicted value
• Participants with a current medical history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and/or chronic bronchitis

• Participants for whom administration of the CYP substrates provided in this study is contraindicated or medically inadvisable
• Participants with international normalized ratio (INR) > 1.5
