   • SCORAD score ≥25
   • Body Surface Area (BSA) involvement ≥10%
   • vIGA score ≥3

5. Inadequate response to prior standard topical and/or systemic treatments for atopic dermatitis, or inability to receive such treatments due to safety concerns.

6. Voluntary written informed consent provided.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Presence of clinically significant comorbidities at screening, including:

   • Other uncontrolled or clinically significant medical conditions that may affect study participation or assessments;

2. History of prohibited treatments prior to baseline, including:

   • Use of JAK inhibitors within 4 weeks;
   • Use of biologic therapies for atopic dermatitis within 12 weeks;
   • Use of systemic immunosuppressants, immunomodulators, or systemic corticosteroids within 4 weeks;
   • Use of topical corticosteroids, topical PDE-4 inhibitors, or topical calcineurin inhibitors within 2 weeks;
   • Participation in another clinical trial with an investigational drug or device within 4 weeks prior to screening;
   • Prior treatment with cell therapy or gene therapy.
