CBP-201 in Adolescent and Adult Patients With Moderate-to-severe Atopic Dermatitis

A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase 3 Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of CBP-201 Monotherapy in Patients With Moderate-To-Severe Atopic Dermatitis Who Are Candidates for Systemic Therapy

This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial in patients, ≥12 years of age who weigh ≥40 kg, and are diagnosed with moderate-to-severe AD.

This study is comprised of a 2- to 6-week (Day-45 to Day 1) Screening Period, a 16-week randomized, double-blind Treatment Period 1, a 36-week Treatment Period 2, and an 8-week follow-up after the last dose of study drug.

Exclusion Criteria:

-

1. Other active skin diseases (e.g., psoriasis, lupus erythematosus etc.) or skin infections (bacterial, fungal, or viral) that require systemic treatment within 4 weeks of Screening Visit or would interfere with the assessment of AD lesions.

2. History of recurrent herpes herpeticum in the prior 12 months or more than 2 episodes of herpes herpeticum in past 2 years.

3. Non-skin related active infection requiring systemic treatment with parenteral anti-infectives within 30 days or oral anti-infectives within 14 days before the Baseline Visit (Visit 2).

NOTE: Patients who are not willing to abstain from donating blood and/or plasma from Screening and for the 112 days after last dose of study drug should not be enrolled.
