New drug shows promise for severe eczema in toddlers

NCT ID NCT07660835

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a drug called nemolizumab in toddlers aged 6 to 23 months with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) that hasn't improved with creams or ointments. The goal is to see how the drug moves through the body, if it is safe, and if it helps control the condition. All children receive the drug, and researchers monitor their blood levels, side effects, and skin improvement.
