Brief Summary

This is a Phase 2 research study testing an investigational topical cream called JYP0066 for the treatment of mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis (eczema) in teenagers (12-17 years old) and adults. The study will check whether JYP0066 cream can reduce eczema signs and symptoms such as redness, itching, dryness, and skin thickening, and whether it is safe and well tolerated. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: they will apply either 4%, 3%, or 2% JYP0066 cream, or a matching placebo cream, to eczema-affected skin twice a day for 8 weeks. All creams will look the same. This helps the study compare which concentration works best and how safe each one is.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 12 Years - 75 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Participant is ≥12 and ≤75 years of age at the time of signing informed consent; male or female.
• Note: Participants who are ≥12 and \<18 years of age at screening and baseline will be classified as adolescents throughout the study.
• Body weight ≥40 kg. Meets Williams diagnostic criteria for atopic dermatitis (AD) at screening and baseline, with AD onset at least 6 months before screening.
• Williams criteria - Major criterion: itchy skin. Minor criteria: (a) history of flexural dermatitis (elbow/antecubital, popliteal, anterior ankle, neck; in children \<10 y, cheek rash); (b) history of asthma or allergic rhinitis (or atopic disease in first-degree relatives for children \<4 y); (c) generalized dry skin in recent years; (d) flexural eczema (in children \<4 y: cheek/forehead/extensor eczema); (e) onset before age 2 (for patients ≥4 y). Diagnosis = major criterion + ≥3 minor criteria.
• vIGA-AD score of 2 (mild) or 3 (moderate) at both screening and baseline. Total AD lesion area of 3%-20% body surface area (BSA) at screening and baseline.
• Note: Lesions on scalp, face, and genital area are excluded from BSA calculation at screening and baseline.
• Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening. All participants of childbearing potential (and their partners) must agree to use highly effective contraception from informed consent through 1 month after last study drug administration and must not donate sperm/ova during this period.
• Note: Applies also to post-menarchal female adolescents and post-semenarche male adolescents.
• Adults: able to understand the purpose and procedures of the study, voluntarily provide written informed consent, and comply with visits/requirements. Adolescents: participant and parent/legal guardian (as applicable) voluntarily provide written informed consent/assent and can communicate with investigator and attend scheduled visits.
