Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18 to 70 with visible moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (per EASI and vIGA-AD™), able to read English, give informed consent, and apply the assigned topical product as directed are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

People with only mild eczema, active dermatologic conditions that would interfere with assessments, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, or those unable to comply with topical treatment and clinic visits are unlikely to benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled study enrolling about 120 adults aged 18–70 with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either GX-03 or a petrolatum-based vehicle, applied topically at least twice daily for 8 weeks, with the investigational product and vehicle identically packaged to maintain blinding. Efficacy will be measured at baseline, Week 4, and Week 8 using EASI, vIGA-AD™, and Peak Pruritus NRS, with additional patient-reported outcomes collected as exploratory measures. Safety monitoring includes collection of treatment-emergent adverse events, weekly telephone check-ins during interim weeks, and on-site safety assessments at study visits.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, GX-03 could reduce skin inflammation and itching and improve comfort and quality of life for adults with moderate to severe eczema using a topical, low-systemic-risk option.

How similar studies have gone: Other topical emollients and topical therapies have shown symptom improvement in prior studies, but GX-03's specific formulation is novel and has not yet been proven in Phase 2 testing.
