Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18 years or older with a clinical diagnosis of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis per Hanifin-Rajka criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with unstable disease, localized lesions only in hands/feet without prior broader involvement, or factors interfering with skin assessments may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled Phase 2 trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of VC005 gel in adults with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis. Participants are randomized to receive either VC005 gel or a placebo vehicle for a specified treatment period, with outcomes assessed to determine improvements in skin symptoms and adverse effects. Eligibility requires adults 18 or older diagnosed by Hanifin-Rajka criteria and able to sign informed consent, while excluding those with unstable disease or localized lesions that could confound assessments. The trial is led by Jiangsu vcare pharmaceutical technology and conducted at Hangzhou First People’s Hospital in Hangzhou, China. The design emphasizes rigorous blinding and controlled comparison to establish preliminary efficacy signals and safety data for VC005 gel.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience improvements in eczema symptoms and reduced disease burden.
How similar studies have gone: Phase 2 studies with vehicle-controlled designs are common for topical therapies; this study tests a new gel formulation with established blinding and randomization to determine early efficacy signals.

Patients judged by the investigator to have an unstable course of Atopic Dermatitis (AD) (spontaneous improvement or rapid deterioration) within 2 weeks before baseline; 2. Patients with skin lesions limited to the hands or feet at screening and baseline, with no prior history of involvement in other typical areas (such as the face or flexural folds); 3. Skin damage or abnormalities that may affect the evaluation of the investigational drug administration site (e.g., hyperpigmentation, large-area scars, tattoos, etc. at the affected site); 4. Presence of skin diseases at screening and baseline that may affect the evaluation of the administration site, including but not limited to: psoriasis, acne, skin cancer, generalized erythroderma, Netherton's syndrome, etc.; 5. Patients with a history of malignant tumors, with the exception of: cervical carcinoma in situ, non-metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma, or non-metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma that have been completely resected with no evidence of recurrence for more than 5 years of survival.
