Brief Summary

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

Seven-month study in pediatric patients (2-11 years) with moderate to severe AD who were considered to benefit from vaccination to prevent invasive disease caused by Neisseria meningitides serogroup C.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

At the week 1 visit, the patients were vaccinated with a protein-conjugated vaccine against meningitis. All patients received a challenge at the month 6 visit with a low dose of meningo polysaccharide vaccine. A control group of healthy subjects (not suffering from atopic dermatitis) received only the vaccination and the challenge dose.
