Brief Summary

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

This is an ascending dose escalation study to test the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of ASN008 TG in first-in-human subjects

Detailed Description

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

This is a two part, randomized, blinded, vehicle-controlled study to determine a safe and tolerable dose of ASN008 TG. Part A will asses a single ascending dose of ASN008 TG in cohorts of healthy volunteers, while Part B will assess multiple ascending doses of TG, to be determined (TBD) based on Part A safety and tolerability, in patients with mild-to-moderate dermatitis. Results from Part A and B will characterize safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics. Part B patients will be assessed for changes in pruritus based on a numerical rating scale (NRS) of pruritus at baseline and on Day 15.
