Living with atopic dermatitis (eczema) can be painful. We want to change that; Take the next step for your eczema.
A clinical study is exploring potential treatments for adults with atopic dermatitis (eczema). The study is evaluating an investigational study drug, given as 2 injections per dose under the skin.
All participants will receive the study drug; however, some participants will also receive placebo (inactive medicine) for certain injections.
Taking care of your skin is very important. Atopic dermatitis (eczema) can lead to more than just discomfort — it can disrupt sleep, impact emotional well-being, and increase the risk of skin infections. Managing your atopic dermatitis (eczema) can help improve your quality of life, reduce flare-ups, and protect your skin's long-term health.

Study Overview
We are looking for adults with atopic dermatitis (eczema) to participate in this clinical study. If your eczema is hard to control, you may qualify.
Living with moderate to severe eczema can mean more than just itchy skin. For many people, it’s a daily struggle—managing flare-ups, sleepless nights, and the emotional toll that comes with visible irritation or discomfort.¹ Even with available medications, not everyone finds relief.
This study, sponsored by Novartis, is focused on an investigational drug given as two injections (shot) under the skin.
If you're living with persistent eczema, despite trying available medications, this study could be a good fit for you.
See if you qualify: Take the pre-screening questionnaire.
What is atopic dermatitis?
Atopic dermatitis (Eczema) is a chronic skin condition that causes dry, itchy, inflamed skin. It can appear anywhere on the body and often can go up and down in severity. For many people, eczema starts in childhood, but it can continue into adulthood or even begin later in life.
Approximately 1 in 10 people (about 10%) will experience eczema at some point in their lives.²
There are treatments that help manage symptoms, but not all work for everyone. That’s why research into new treatment options is so important.
