Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 and older with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis who require systemic treatment with nemolizumab and meet local consent and confidentiality requirements.
✕Probably not a fit
Participants without skin structural changes detectable by reflectance confocal microscopy or those not responding to nemolizumab may not experience measurable benefit.

What this trial studies
This observational study examines skin changes in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis who are treated with nemolizumab. Reflectance confocal microscopy is used to noninvasively visualize the epidermis and papillary dermis to identify cellular and structural changes. The study compares imaging findings to what would be expected from the disease course and treatment response in a real-world setting. Participation requires informed consent and affiliation with a social security scheme, and is conducted at a single center in Romans-sur-Isère, France. No interventional procedures beyond standard nemolizumab treatment are described.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, findings could improve understanding of how nemolizumab affects skin structure and inform future imaging-based monitoring in atopic dermatitis.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work in similar imaging approaches suggests potential insights into treatment-related skin changes, but this exact imaging + nemolizumab combination is novel.
