Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Diagnosis of atopic dermatitis based on the criteria of the Japanese Dermatological Association and have: pruritus (itching); eczema-like changes in a typical pattern, and a chronic or chronically relapsing course.
- Childhood onset (under age of 13) of atopic dermatitis.
- Diagnosis of moderate atopic dermatitis based on the Rajka Langeland score between 4.5 and 7.5, inclusive.
- Have at least 3 ratings of "Moderate itching", "Severe itching", or "Extremely severe itching" either at night or during the day based on the Pruritus Categorical Response Scale (PCRS) in the 7 days prior to randomization.
- Atopic dermatitis with 10% to 50% (inclusive) Body Surface Area (BSA) involvement.
You may not qualify if:
- Have current signs or symptoms of liver or renal insufficiency or cardiac, vascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurologic, hematologic, psychiatric, or metabolic disturbances that are severe, progressive or uncontrolled in the Investigator's opinion. Patients with well controlled asthma, allergic rhinitis, or allergic conjunctivitis are allowed to participate. Atopic dermatitis patients with other chronic conditions will not be excluded if the Investigator has determined that the condition is not severe or progressive and is being controlled with stable therapy.
- Have any known malignancy or have a history of malignancy (with the exception of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma in situ of the skin, or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has been treated with no evidence of recurrence within 5 years prior to the first administration of study agent).
- Evidence of any other skin condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would interfere with the assessment of atopic dermatitis.
- Use of non-steroid immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory agents within 4 weeks of randomization, including cyclosporine A, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, and interferon gamma.
- Use of systemic corticosteroids within 4 weeks of randomization.
