New shot could tame severe eczema in kids as young as 6 months
NCT ID NCT06311682
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a drug called tralokinumab, given as a shot along with steroid cream, can safely control moderate-to-severe eczema in children aged 6 months to under 12 years. About 195 participants will receive either the drug or a placebo for 16 weeks, then all will get the drug. The trial lasts up to 4 years and tracks skin clearance and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- tralokinumab (a biologic drug given as a shot) plus topical corticosteroids (steroid cream)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a new treatment option for young children and infants with hard-to-control eczema, potentially reducing itch and skin flares.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial in a small group, so results may not apply to all children. The drug requires regular injections and may cause side effects like injection reactions or infections.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age 6 months to \<12 years at screening. * Body weight ≥9 kg at screening. * Diagnosis of AD as defined by the Hanifin and Rajka (1980) criteria for AD. * History of AD for: ≥12 months for subjects aged ≥6 years at screening and ≥3 months for subjects aged 6 months to \<6 years at screening. * Documented inadequate response to mid-strength TCS within 6 months before the screening visit. * AD involvement of ≥10% body surface area at screening and baseline according to component A of SCORAD. * An EASI score of ≥16 at screening and baseline. * An IGA score of ≥3 at screening and baseline. * A Child Worst Itch NRS average score of ≥4 (subjects aged ≥6 years at screening) or a Scratch ObsRO average score of ≥4 (subjects aged \<6 years at screening) during the week prior to baseline. Exclusion Criteria: * Treatment with the topical corticosteroids (TCS), topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCI), topical phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitors (PDE-4), and topical Janus kinase inhibitors (JAK) within 1 week prior to baseline. * Treatment with bleach baths within 1 week prior to baseline. * Treatment with the immunomodulatory medications systemic immunosuppressive/immunomodulating drugs (e.g. methotrexate, cyclosporine, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, Janus kinase inhibitors) and systemic corticosteroids (excludes inhaled, ophthalmic, or intranasal delivery) within 4 weeks prior to baseline. * Use of tanning beds or phototherapy within 4 weeks prior to baseline. * Treatment with a live (attenuated) or non-live vaccine within 30 days prior to the baseline visit. * Active dermatologic conditions that may confound the diagnosis of AD or would interfere with assessment of treatment such as seborrheic dermatitis, active skin infection, scabies, cutaneous T cell lymphoma, or psoriasis. * Clinically significant active chronic or acute infection requiring treatment with systemic antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals or antiprotozoal within 2 weeks before the baseline visit. * History of past or current hepatitis B or C including a positive hepatitis B or C test at screening.
