Summary
This pilot study is testing whether an oral medication called roflumilast (already used for other conditions) can help people aged 12 and older with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (eczema). 36 participants will take a daily pill for 12 weeks. The study measures changes in eczema severity and tracks side effects. It is an early, small trial without a placebo group.
