Study Description
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study which is 52 weeks in duration. The study is designed to confirm the safety and efficacy of lebrikizumab as
monotherapy for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis utilizing a 16-week induction treatment period and a 36-week long-term maintenance treatment period.
Eligible adult and adolescent (≥12 to 17 years weighing ≥40 kg) patients with moderate-to- severe atopic dermatitis for at least one year, defined according to the American Academy of Dermatology Consensus Criteria, an Eczema Area and Severity Index Score (EASI) of ≥16, an Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score of ≥3 and a body surface area (BSA) of ≥10% will be enrolled.
During the 16-week Induction Period, approximately 400 patients will be stratified and randomized 2:1 to either 250 mg lebrikizumab (loading dose of 500 mg given at Baseline and Week 2) or placebo by subcutaneous (SC) injection every 2 weeks (Q2W). All study drug injections will be administered in the clinic.
After completion of the Week 16 visit, patients who have responded to treatment [defined as having an IGA of 0 or 1 or a 75% reduction in EASI from Baseline to Week 16 (EASI-75)] will enter the Maintenance Period and will be re-randomized 2:2:1 to one of the following treatment groups: lebrikizumab 250 mg Q2W, lebrikizumab 250 mg given every four weeks (Q4W), or placebo Q2W. Patients will be instructed to self-administer study drug at home.
