Will this eczema cream cause Sun-Related allergies? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT04807751
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed Phase 1 trial tested whether delgocitinib cream, a potential eczema treatment, can cause a UV-light-induced allergic skin reaction (photoallergy). Sixty healthy adults had the cream or a placebo applied to their skin and were then exposed to UV light. Researchers checked for skin reactions to determine the cream's photoallergic potential.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- delgocitinib cream
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that delgocitinib cream is safe to use without causing UV-related allergic skin reactions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase safety study in healthy people, not patients. It only tests for photoallergy and does not evaluate effectiveness for any disease.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Healthy subjects aged 18-64 years (inclusive). * Fitzpatrick skin type of I, II, or III. Exclusion Criteria: * Atopic dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, acne, dermatitis solaris or suntan that could interfere with the test field evaluation, hyperpigmentation, multiple naevi, tattoos, blemishes, or dense body hair in the range of the test fields. * Any other skin disease or other visible skin condition noted on physical examination which in the investigator's opinion might interfere with the evaluation of the test field reaction. * Any history of or presence of cancerous or precancerous skin lesions in general including melanoma, lentigo maligna, basal cell carcinoma, dysplastic naevi or actinic keratoses. * History of or active or both photo-induced or photo-aggravated disease (e.g. cutaneous or lupus erythematodes, polymorphic light eruptions). * Use of any topical or systemic medication that could interfere with the trial objective within 2 weeks before randomisation until subject's end of trial. * Use of drugs that might cause photosensitising or phototoxic reactions within 4 weeks before randomisation until subject's end of trial. * Foreseeable intensive UV-light exposure to test fields within 4 weeks before randomisation until subject's end of trial (solar or artificial).
