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.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

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.

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.
