Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of LEO 29102 Cream in Atopic Dermatitis.

Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of LEO 29102 Cream in Atopic Dermatitis. A Multicentre, Prospective, Randomised Phase Ib Study in Subjects Investigating Safety,Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of LEO 29102 Cream (2.5 mg/g) When Treating Atopic Dermatitis Lesions Twice Daily for 7 Days (Cohorts I, II and III) and 6 Weeks (Cohort IV)

The purpose of this Phase Ib study is to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of LEO 29102 2,5 mg/g cream when treating atopic dermatitis (AD) lesions from 10 up to 100% of the body surface area (BSA) twice daily (BID) for 7 days (Cohorts I, II, III) and from 10% up to 50% of BSA (bid) for 6 weeks (Cohort IV). This trial will be performed in four cohorts. Cohort I, II and III includes patients with a larger BSA that increases from one cohort to the next. After each cohort (Cohort I, II)a blinded evaluation of the safety and tolerability data will assess whether a stepwise increase in the percentage of "to be treated BSA" is justified. Cohort IV will start dosing after finalisation of Cohort II and after submission of data from Cohort I and II to the national authority and IEC for review.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Clinical diagnosis of AD defined according to Hanifin and Rajka.
2. Investigator Global Assessment scored as mild (2) to severe (4) AD.
3. At screening, AD lesions amenable for treatment involving 10% to < 25% (Cohort I), 25% to < 50% (Cohort II), 50% to 100% (Cohort III) and 10% to < 50% (Cohort IV) of the total BSA.
4. On Day -1, AD lesions amenable for treatment involving 10% to < 28% (Cohort I), 25% to < 55% (Cohort II), 50% to 100% (Cohort III) and 10% to < 55% (Cohort IV) of the total BSA.
5. Adult male or female subjects, aged 18 to 65 years, inclusive.
