Summary

This study looked at how the drug tralokinumab affects the skin of people with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema). Researchers measured drug levels and immune changes in skin samples after 16 weeks of treatment. The goal was to better understand how the drug works, which could help predict who will respond best. The study included 20 patients and 5 healthy volunteers, but it was terminated early.
