Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults 18–75 with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis who have not had adequate relief from therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with AD that does not respond to LT-002-158 or who experience intolerable adverse effects may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II trial evaluating the safety and preliminary effectiveness of LT-002-158 tablets in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. Participants will take either LT-002-158 or placebo daily for 16 weeks, with regular clinic visits and assessments. Eligibility requires adults 18–75 with a confirmed history of AD and active disease measures at screening.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, LT-002-158 could reduce AD symptoms and improve skin condition compared with placebo.
How similar studies have gone: Similar Phase II approaches in AD have shown signal of efficacy with targeted therapies, but this specific LT-002-158 approach is novel/early in development.

Inadequate response, intolerance or inappropriateness for topical corticosteroid (TCS) or topical calcineurin inhibitor (TCI) therapy within 6 months prior to the baseline visit). Inadequate response is defined as failure to achieve and maintain remission or low disease activity (equivalent to vIGA 0 \[ clear\] to 2 \[mild\]) despite at least 28 days of treatment with a medium-to-high-potency TCS regimen (± TCI, as applicable), or for the maximum duration recommended in the product prescribing information (e.g., 14 days for super-potent TCS), whichever is shorter. 5. Participants must apply a stable dose of topical emollients (moisturizer) daily for at least 7 consecutive days immediately prior to the baseline visit, and should be willing to continue using moisturizer throughout the study. 6. Female participants of childbearing potential and male participants, as well as their partners, must have no plans to conceive during the study and for 6 months after the last dose, and must agree to use highly effective contraceptive methods. 7. Able to understand and voluntarily sign the written informed consent form; willing and able to complete the scheduled visits, treatments, examinations, and other procedures (e.g., diary card recording and collection) in accordance with the protocol requirements. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Concurrent presence of other skin diseases that may interfere with study assessments, such as psoriasis, tinea corporis, lupus erythematosus, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and severe contact dermatitis. 2. Presence of active, chronic, or recurrent infection requiring systemic anti-infective treatment within 4 weeks prior to the baseline visit; or presence of an infection that at baseline judged of the investigator to be inadequately controlled, such as infectious eczema, impetigo, cellulitis, or pneumonia. 3. Known or suspected primary or secondary immunodeficiency disease; history of splenectomy or functional asplenia. 4. Presence of other active autoimmune diseases (excluding allergic rhinitis and asthma) or a history of invasive opportunistic infections. Other exclusion criteria specified in the protocol.
