Brief Summary

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

Prospective longitudinal study to characterize Choronic Hand Eczema (CHE) subtypes and Atopic Dermatitis (AD) with noninvasive molecular and imaging techniques, and assess changes through time and its association with quality of life.

Detailed Description

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

Prospective longitudinal study of adult patients with moderate to severe chronic hand eczema, subject with modreate to severe Atopic Dermatitis and healthy volenteers to assess changes in morphological parameters and molecular signatures with non-invasive techniques.In addition, disease severity and their association with occupation, smoking status, quality of life will be evaluated per CHE subtypes and compared to subjects with only AD. Samples and data collected from healthy volunteers will be used as controls in the analyses.

2. Subject is willing to participate and is capable of giving informed consent. Note: Consent must be obtained prior to any study-related procedures.
3. Subject must be willing to comply with all study procedures and must be available for the duration of the study.

CHE subjects only:
4. Subject has at least a 6-month history of CHE before Screening (information obtained from medical chart or subject's physician, or directly from the subject).
5. Subject has moderate to severe CHE as defined by an IGA score of ≥3 at Screening and Day 1.
6. Subject has CHE covering ≥0.25% of BSA on palmar surface of hands at Screening and Day 1.
7. Subjects has CHE that can be categorized in one of the following CHE subtypes at Day 1:

* Atopic hand eczema (without wet-work or excessive contact with irritants)
* Irritant contact hand eczema without atopic disease
* Hyperkeratotic hand eczema without atopic disease
* Vesicular hand dermatitis without atopic disease
* Allergic contact hand eczema without atopic disease
* Idiopathic hand eczema without wet-work, excessive contact with irritants, atopic disease, hyperkeratotic morphology, allergic contact hand eczema and vesicular hand eczema.

Subjects with only AD:
8. Subject has clinically confirmed diagnosis of active atopic dermatitis, according to Hanifin and Rajka criteria.
9. Subject has at least a 6-month history of AD and had no significant flares in AD for at least 4 weeks before Screening (information obtained from medical chart or subject's physician, or directly from the subject).
10. Subject has moderate to severe AD as defined by a vIGA-AD score of ≥3 at Screening and Day 1.
11. Subject has AD covering ≥0.5% of BSA at Screening and Day 1.
12. Subject has an AD lesion covering ≥0.25% of BSA on the forearm at Screening and Day 1.Healthy Volunteers only:
13. Subject is in good general health, according to the investigator's judgment based on medical history and physical examination.

Exclusion Criteria

All subjects:

1. Subject has a history of skin disease or presence of skin condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the study assessments.
2. Subject has used systemic antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to Day 1.
3. Subject has used topical antibiotics within 1 week prior to Day 1.
