Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Fold-Change in Epidermal Thickness of Lesional Skin
Epidermal hyperplasia assessed using change in epidermal thickness at week 16 as compared to baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

Fold-Change in K16 Expression of Lesional Skin
Epidermal hyperplasia assessed using change in the epidermal proliferation marker Ki67 at week 16 as compared to baseline. Staining quantification was performed with ImageJ 1.42
Number of Patients With SCORAD-50
The proportion of patients who achieve an improvement of 50% or greater from their Baseline objective SCORAD up to week 52. SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) -The intensity part of the SCORAD index consists of six items: erythema, edema⁄papulation, excoriations, lichenification, oozing⁄crusts and dryness. Each item graded on a scale 0-3. The subjective items include daily pruritus and sleeplessness, graded on a 10-cm visual analogue scale, with maximum subjective score 20. SCORAD full score is 0-103, with higher score indicating more symptoms.
Number of Patients Who Achieve EASI-50 Score
The proportion of patients who achieve an improvement of 50% or greater from their Baseline EASI score up to week 52. The EASI index assigns proportionate values to 4 body regions. Each region is assigned a score of 0 to 3, indicating none, mild, moderate, and severe clinical expression. The percentage of area involved is also assigned an eruption proportional score from 0 to 6. The total body score for each body region is obtained by multiplying the sum of the severity scores by the area score, then multiplying the result by the constant weighted value assigned to that body region. The sum of these scores gives the EASI total from 0-72, with higher score indicating more severity.
Number of Patients With Static Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Score 0 or 1
The proportion of patients who achieve a score of "clear-0" or "almost clear-1" in the static IGA score at Week 16 as compared to Baseline. The static IGA score represents an overall static evaluation of dermatitis, performed by the investigator at each visit. It utilizes a scale of 6-points; total scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 5 (very severe disease).
Percentage Change From Baseline in SCORAD Score
Percentage change in SCORAD scores at Week 16 as compared to baseline. SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) full score is 0-103, with higher score indicating more symptoms.
Percentage Change From Baseline in EASI Scores
Percentage change in EASI scores at Week 16 as compared to baseline. Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) total score from 0-72, with higher score indicating more severity.
Fold-Change in Elafin/Pi3 Level From Baseline
Change of IL-17 regulated keratinocyte products assessed by a change of the mRNA gene expression levels of elafin/Pi3 at week 16 as compared to baseline
Fold-Change in CCL20 Level
Change of IL-17 regulated keratinocyte products assessed by a change of the mRNA gene expression levels of CCL20 at week 16 as compared to baseline.
Fold-Change in CXCL1 Level
Change of IL-17 regulated keratinocyte products assessed by a change of the mRNA gene expression levels of CXCL1 at week 16 as compared to baseline.
Fold-Change in S100A7 Level
Change of IL-17 regulated keratinocyte products assessed by a change of the mRNA gene expression levels of S100A7 at week 16 as compared to baseline.
Fold-Change in A8 Level
Change of IL-17 regulated keratinocyte products assessed by a change of the mRNA gene expression levels of A8 at week 16 as compared to baseline
Fold-Change in A9 Level
Change of IL-17 regulated keratinocyte products assessed by a change of the mRNA gene expression levels of A9 at Week 16 as compared to baseline.
Fold-Change in A12 Level
Change of IL-17 regulated keratinocyte products assessed by a change of the mRNA gene expression levels of A12 as compared to baseline

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Atopic Dermatitis, also known as atopic eczema, or eczema, is a common skin disease that can affect males and females of all ages, but often starts in childhood. Recent studies show at least 4-7% of adults and 15-25% of children to be affected, with one third of patients having severe disease. It results in very itchy, red, swollen, and cracked skin. Scratching worsens the symptoms and causes the skin to become thickened over time. Patients with atopic dermatitis have an increased risk of skin infections, and many also develop hay fever or asthma. Atopic dermatitis can cause significant distress to both patients and their families. In this study, the aim is to assess the effects of a new treatment called secukinumab in patients with atopic dermatitis. A total of 30 patients will be included in the study, which will run for a total of 52 weeks.
Detailed Description
This is a randomized, double-blind, pilot study of a total of 44 subjects with AD (22 with intrinsic and 22 with extrinsic AD) consisting of 2 phases. Subjects will be randomized (2:1) to either receive secukinumab 300 mg or placebo via subcutaneous injection using 2 prefilled syringes.
