Brief Summary

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

Primary objective:

To evaluate the efficacy of tralokinumab in combination with topical corticosteroids (TCS) compared with placebo in combination with TCS in treating moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).

Secondary objectives:

To evaluate the efficacy of tralokinumab in combination with TCS on severity and extent of AD, itch, health-related quality of life, and health care resource utilisation compared with placebo in combination with TCS.

To assess the safety of tralokinumab in combination with TCS when used to treat moderate-to-severe AD for 16 weeks.

Participants Investigators
Neither the trial participant nor any of the investigator or LEO pharma staff who are involved in the treatment or clinical evaluation and monitoring of the participants will be aware of the treatment received. The packaging and labelling of the investigational medicinal product (IMP) will contain no evidence of their identity. Since tralokinumab and placebo are visually distinct and not matched for viscosity, IMP will be handled and administered by a qualified, unblinded healthcare professional at the site who will not be involved in the management of trial participants and who will not perform any of the assessments.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Tralokinumab+TCS

Week 0 to Week 16: Tralokinumab will be given as subcutaneous injections. Participants will receive tralokinumab loading dose on Day 0 followed by multiple tralokinumab injections. The last administration will occur at Week 14. Topical corticosteroids (TCS) will be administered as needed.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Tralokinumab

Intervention Type DRUG

Tralokinumab is a human recombinant monoclonal antibody of the immunoglobulin G4 subclass that specifically binds to human interleukin-13 (IL-13) and blocks the interaction with IL-13 receptors. It is presented as a liquid formulation for subcutaneous administration.

Topical corticosteroids (TCS)

Intervention Type OTHER

TCS administered as needed.

Placebo+TCS

Week 0 to Week 16: Placebo will be given as subcutaneous injections. Participants will receive placebo loading dose on Day 0 followed by multiple placebo injections. The last administration will occur at Week 14. Topical corticosteroids (TCS) will be administered as needed.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type DRUG

Placebo contains the same excipients in the same concentration only lacking tralokinumab.

Topical corticosteroids (TCS)

Intervention Type OTHER

TCS administered as needed.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Japanese subject aged 18 years and above.
* Diagnosis of AD as defined by the Hanifin and Rajka (1980) criteria for AD.
* History of AD for 1 year or more.
* A recent history (within 1 year before screening) of inadequate response to treatment with topical medication.
* AD involvement of 10% or more body surface area at screening and at baseline according to component A of SCORAD.
* Applied a stable dose of emollient twice daily (or more, as needed) for at least 14 days before randomisation.

Exclusion Criteria

* Subjects for whom TCS are medically inadvisable e.g. due to important side effects or safety risks in the opinion of the investigator.
* Active dermatologic conditions that may confound the diagnosis of AD or would interfere with assessment of treatment.
* Use of tanning beds or phototherapy within 6 weeks prior to randomisation.
* Treatment with systemic immunosuppressive/immunomodulating drugs and/or systemic corticosteroids within 4 weeks prior to randomisation.
* Treatment with TCS, topical calcineurin inhibitors, topical phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitors, or topical Janus kinase inhibitors within 2 weeks prior to randomisation.
* Receipt of any marketed biological therapy (i.e. immunoglobulin, anti-immunoglobulin E) including dupilumab or investigational biologic agents 3 to 6 months prior to randomisation.
* Active skin infections within 1 week prior to randomisation.
* Clinically significant infection within 4 weeks prior to randomisation.
* A helminth parasitic infection within 6 months prior to the date informed consent is obtained.
* Tuberculosis requiring treatment within the 12 months prior to screening.
* Known primary immunodeficiency disorder.
