First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 study tests whether rilzabrutinib, an oral medication, can reduce eczema severity in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis who do not respond well to or cannot tolerate topical corticosteroids. Participants receive either rilzabrutinib or a placebo for 16 weeks. The main goal is to measure changes in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score from the start to week 16.
