Brief Summary

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

This is a first-in-human, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, vehicle-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and PK of ATI-1777 solution following twice-daily applications to target areas of participants with moderate or severe atopic dermatitis (AD).

Detailed Description

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

Participants underwent screening evaluations to determine eligibility up to 30 days prior to randomization. Participants who meet all the entry criteria were randomized on Day 1 to active or vehicle treatment. Participants applied study drug (ATI-1777 topical solution 2.0% w/w or vehicle) twice daily for 4 weeks with weekly study visits and were to return 2 weeks after the last dose of study medication for a Post treatment Follow-up (PTFU) Visit.

* Male patients with partners of childbearing potential may be enrolled if they are:

* Documented to be surgically sterile (vasectomy), or

4. Have a diagnosis of AD fulfilling the specified diagnostic criteria of Hanifin and Rajka (Hanifin and Rajka 1980).
5. Have at least a 6-month history of AD prior to the Screening Visit, and no significant AD flares for the 4 weeks prior to the Screening Visit.
6. Have at least 1 lesion that measures at least 3 cm2 at the Screening Visit and on Day 1 prior to the first dose of study medication. This lesion must be representative of the patient's disease state, but not located on the hands, feet, or genitalia.
7. Have a stable diagnosis of moderate or severe (IGA score 3 or 4) AD at the Screening Visit.
8. Have AD affecting 3% to 20% BSA (not including scalp, face, palms of hands, soles of feet, groin, and genitalia) at the Screening Visit.
9. Willing to refrain from washing area of treatment or swimming for 6 hours after each study medication application.
10. Willing to refrain from excessive sun exposure (e.g., sunbathing and/or tanning salon visits) and to minimize sun exposure (e.g., wear sun protective clothing, hat) as much as possible.
11. Willing to refrain from use of moisturizers, emollients, and sunscreen on AD study treatment areas for duration of protocol therapy.
12. Willing to refrain from participating in strenuous exercise that would cause profuse sweating for a period of 6 hours after each study medication application.
13. Willing to return to the clinic, follow all study instructions, attend all study visits, and complete study procedures.
14. In good general health and free of any known disease state or physical condition that, in the investigator's opinion, might impair evaluation of the patient or that might expose the patient to an unacceptable risk by study participation.
15. Willing and capable of taking appropriate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) risk mitigation precautions (e.g., wearing a mask in public, adhering to social distancing, etc.) as recommended or required by local, state, or federal guidelines during participation in the study.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Unstable course of AD (spontaneously improving or rapidly deteriorating) based on the patient history or as determined by the investigator during the Screening Period.
2. Refractory AD (i.e., AD that required frequent hospitalizations and/or frequent intravenous treatment for skin infections within the year before the Screening Visit).
3. AD of a severity (EASI \>48) that the patient is not a candidate for a vehicle-controlled study.
4. Any signs or symptoms associated with AD therapy (e.g., history of anaphylaxis, hypersensitivity reactions, skin atrophy, striae, pigmentary changes) that, in the investigator's opinion, might impair evaluation of the AD or which exposes the patient to unacceptable risk by study participation.
5. Concomitant skin disease or clinically infected AD or presence of other skin disease in the area to be dosed that may interfere with study assessments.
6. Use of any of the following treatments within the indicated washout period prior to Day 1:

* Phototherapy (ultraviolet A, ultraviolet B, or psoralen and ultraviolet A therapy) within 4 weeks prior to Day 1.
* Systemic biologic immunosuppressant or immunomodulatory therapy (e.g., etanercept, alefacept, infliximab, dupilumab) within 12 weeks (or 5 half-lives of the product, whichever is longer) prior to Day 1.
