Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study was designed to test the hypothesis whether a standardized, time-and score-oriented treatment following a strict evidence based algorithm is equally effective to a standard treatment regimen for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.

Study Type: Mono-centre study, patients are blinded, physicians are randomized to either treat study- or controll group

Eligible are patients age 2 years or older with SCORAD \>= 20 Duration: 12 Months, study visits every 4 weeks.

Primary endpoint is Difference between Baseline SCORAD and mean SCORAD under treatment.

Secundary endpoints are quality of life, safety and economic burden in both treatment groups.
