Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age 18 years or above at screening for adult participants and age 12-17 years at screening and baseline for adolescent participants.
- Diagnosis of CHE, defined as hand eczema that has persisted for more than 3 months or returned twice or more within the last 12 months. Disease severity graded as moderate to severe at screening and baseline according to IGA-CHE (i.e. an IGA-CHE score of 3 or 4).
- HESD itch score (weekly average) of ≥4 points at baseline. The baseline weekly average will be calculated from daily assessments of itch severity during the 7 days immediately preceding the baseline visit (Day -7 to Day -1). A minimum of 4 itch scores out of the 7 days is required to calculate the baseline average score.
- Participants who have a documented recent history of inadequate response to treatment with topical corticosteroids (TCS) (at any time within 1 year before the screening visit) or for whom TCS are documented to be otherwise medically inadvisable (e.g. due to important side effects or safety risks).
- Inadequate response is defined as a history of failure to achieve and maintain a low disease activity state (comparable to an IGACHE score of ≤2) despite treatment with a daily regimen of TCS of class III-IV (potent to very potent), applied for at least 28 days or for the maximum duration recommended by the product prescribing information, whichever is shorter.
- Important side effects or safety risks are those that outweigh the potential treatment benefits and include intolerance to treatment, hypersensitivity reactions, and significant skin atrophy as assessed by the physician.
- Participants adherent to standard non-medicated skin care including avoidance of known and relevant irritants and allergens.
- A woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must use an acceptable method of birth control throughout the trial up until the last application of investigational medicinal product (IMP).
You may not qualify if:
- Active atopic dermatitis (AD) requiring medical treatment in regions other than the hands and feet.
- Hyperkeratotic hand eczema in combination with a history of psoriasis on any part of the body.
- Clinically significant infection (e.g. impetiginized hand eczema) on the hands.
- Clinically significant infection within 28 days prior to baseline which, in the opinion of the investigator, may compromise the safety of the participant in the trial, interfere with evaluation of the investigational medicinal product (IMP), or reduce the participant's ability to participate in the trial. Clinically significant infections are defined as:
- A systemic infection.
- A serious skin infection requiring parenteral (intravenous or intramuscular) antibiotics, antiviral, or antifungal medication.
- History of any known primary immunodeficiency disorder including a positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test at screening, or the participant taking antiretroviral medications as determined by medical history and/or participant's verbal report.
- History of cancer:
- Participants who have had basal cell carcinoma, localized squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix are eligible provided that the participant is in remission and curative therapy was completed at least 12 months prior to screening.
- Participants who have had other malignancies are eligible provided that the participant is in remission and curative therapy was completed at least 5 years prior to screening.
- Any disorder which is not stable and could:
- Affect the safety of the participant throughout the trial.
- Impede the participant's ability to complete the trial. Examples include but are not limited to cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, neurological, musculoskeletal, infectious, endocrine, metabolic, hematologic, immunological, and psychiatric disorders, and major physical impairment.
- Any abnormal finding which may:
- Put the participant at risk because of their participation in the trial.
