Study Details:

Do you or someone you know suffer from red, itchy, or dry skin? If so, you may have Atopic Dermatitis, commonly referred to as Eczema. Atopic Dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease where affected skin may be red, itchy, swollen, cracked, weeping with crusting, and/or scaling. This condition normally appears on the cheeks, arms and legs, but can appear anywhere else on the body. Patients with moderate-to-severe AD have a poor quality of life through a combination of symptoms, emotional stress from poor self-image, the burden of applying topical treatments regularly, sleep disturbance, and reductions in work productivity.

Although some treatment options exist, not everyone responds well and some experience side effects that outweigh any benefits. As such, there is an unmet medical need for an alternative treatment.
