NCT ID NCT05958407
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested a drug called tralokinumab for people with moderate-to-severe atopic hand eczema that hasn't improved with standard treatments. 235 adults received either the drug or a placebo every two weeks for 16 weeks, then everyone got the drug for another 16 weeks. The goal was to see if the drug could clear or nearly clear the eczema and reduce symptoms.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 years or above at screening * Diagnosis of atopic dermatitis (AD) as by the Hanifin and Rajka (1980) criteria for AD * History of AD for ≥1 year * Presence of atopic hand eczema (AHE) that has persisted for more than 3 months or returned twice or more within the last 12 months, with avoidance of any known and relevant irritants and allergens * AD involvement of at least one body location other than the hands and wrists at screening * An Investigator's Global Assessment AHE score of 3 or 4 (moderate to severe) at screening and baseline * A HESD itch score (weekly average) of ≥4 at baseline * Subjects who have a documented recent history (within 12 months before the screening visit) of inadequate response to treatment of AHE with topical prescription medications or for whom topical treatments are otherwise medically inadvisable (e.g., due to important side effects or safety risks) Exclusion Criteria: * Subjects must not enter the trial if they have active subtypes of hand eczema other than AHE that are considered to be the predominant cause of the current hand eczema including: * Active irritant contact dermatitis * Active allergic contact dermatitis * Active protein contact dermatitis/contact urticaria * Active hyperkeratotic hand eczema * Active vesicular hand eczema (pompholyx) * Active dermatologic conditions that may confound the diagnosis of AD or AHE, or that would interfere with the assessment of treatment * Use of tanning beds or phototherapy (e.g., UVB, UVA1, PUVA), or Grenz ray therapy on the hands or wrists within 28 days prior to baseline or use of bleach baths on the hands or wrists within 7 days prior to baseline * Treatment with systemic immunosuppressive/immunomodulating drugs and/or systemic corticosteroids within 28 days prior to baseline * Treatment with topical corticosteroids, topical calcineurin inhibitors, topical phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitors, or topical Janus kinase inhibitors within 7 days prior to baseline * Receipt of any marketed biological therapy (i.e. immunoglobulin, anti immunoglobulin E) including dupilumab or investigational biologic agents 3 to 6 months prior to baseline
