A Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Subcutaneous Lunsekimig (SAR443765) Compared With Placebo in Adult Participants With Moderate-to-severe Atopic Dermatitis

Phase 2
150 participants needed

Study Overview

This is a parallel, Phase 2b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of lunsekimig monotherapy in adult participants (aged 18 to 80 years, inclusive) with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).

This study explores the efficacy and safety of 3 subcutaneous (SC) dose regimens of lunsekimig in adult participants with moderate-to-severe AD who have a documented history, within 6 months prior to baseline, of an inadequate response to topical treatments or for whom topical therapies are not advised. The study consists of 6 arms: 3 parallel dosing regimens and matching placebo arms. Additionally, participants have the option of engaging in a dense pharmacokinetic/pharmodynamic (PK/PD) sampling subgroup.

The study duration will be up to approximately 36 weeks, including up to 4 weeks of screening, 24 weeks of treatment period and an 8-week safety follow-up period.

Eligibility Criteria

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: Dermatitis Atopic
  • Age: 18 years - 80 years
  • Gender: All

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants must be 18 to 80 years of age, inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
  • Diagnosis of Atopic Dermatitis (AD) as defined by the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) clinical guidelines (2023) for 1 year or longer at baseline (Day 1)
  • Documented history within 6 months prior to Screening Visit, of either inadequate response or inadvisability of topical treatments
  • Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score of 16 or higher (range, 0 to 72) at baseline (Day 1)
  • Validated Investigator Global Assessment Scale for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD) score of 3 or 4 at baseline visit (Day 1) (on the 0 to 4 vIGA-AD scale, a vIGA-AD score of 3 and 4 represents moderate and severe, respectively).
  • AD involvement of 10% or more of Body Surface Are (BSA) at baseline (Day 1)
  • Weekly average of daily Peak Pruritis-Numerical Rating (PP-NRS) score of ≥4 at baseline (Day 1)
  • Must have applied a stable dose of topical bland emollient (simple moisturizer, no additives [eg, urea]) at least once daily for a minimum of 5 out of 7 consecutive days before baseline (Day 1).

Exclusion Criteria:

Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:

  • Skin comorbidity that would adversely affect the ability to undertake AD assessments (eg, psoriasis, tinea corporis, and lupus erythematosus) according to the Investigator's judgment.
  • Known history of, or suspected, significant current immunosuppression

NOTE: The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial

This study investigates moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. It focuses on evaluating the effects of an investigational medication given as a subcutaneous injection.

The study looks at how safe and effective the investigational medication is. It evaluates different dosage regimens to understand their impact on the condition.

  • Who can participate: Adults aged 18 to 80 years with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, who have a history of inadequate response to topical treatments or are unsuitable for such therapies, can join.
  • Study details: Participants will receive either the investigational medication or a placebo.
  • Study timelines: The study will last 36 weeks.
