New eczema pill shows promise in Mid-Stage trial
NCT ID NCT07441395
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a daily pill called soquelitinib in 200 adults with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema). Participants take either the drug or a placebo for 12 weeks, and doctors track skin improvements and side effects. The goal is to see if soquelitinib can safely reduce eczema severity better than a dummy pill.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- soquelitinib
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new daily pill option for people with moderate to severe eczema that is not well controlled by current treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 200 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is also compared to a placebo, so the real benefit may be small or absent, and side effects are still being studied.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult male or female, ≥18 years of age, as applicable according to local legislation, at Screening. * Diagnosis of AD with onset of symptoms at least 1 year prior to the Screening visit. * Moderate to severe disease at screening and pre-randomization on Day 1 defined by: * EASI ≥16 * Body surface area ≥10% * vIGA ≥3 * PP-NRS average score of ≥4 over a period of 7 days prior to randomization at Day 1. * Documented history of prior topical and/or systemic therapy for AD within 6 months of randomization. * A female participant is eligible if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and is either of non-childbearing potential, OR of childbearing potential and agrees to use highly effective birth control Exclusion Criteria: * Other concomitant skin conditions that would interfere with evaluations of the effect of study medication on AD. * Other active skin diseases or skin infections (bacterial, fungal, or viral) requiring systemic treatment within 30 days of the Baseline visit or that could interfere with the appropriate assessment of AD lesions. * Known immunodeficiency syndrome, history of an invasive infection or active non skin-related infection requiring systemic anti-infective treatment within 30 days of Baseline. * History of immunosuppression not related to medication, history of clinically significant medical conditions, or any other reason which in the opinion of the investigator would interfere with the participant's participation in this study. * Have an unstable or uncontrolled illness, including but not limited to cerebrocardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, endocrine, hematologic, or neurologic disorders that would potentially affect participant safety within the study or confound efficacy and safety assessments.
