About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial to Evaluate the Effect of Tralokinumab on Vaccine Antibody Responses in Adults With Moderate-to-severe Atopic Dermatitis Who Are Candidates for Systemic Therapy

The purpose of this trial is to test if treatment with the trial drug, tralokinumab, can affect the body's immune response to vaccines. The trial will also evaluate the efficacy of tralokinumab when it is given concomitantly with vaccines.

The trial includes a screening period of 2 to 6 weeks, a treatment period of 16 weeks (Weeks 0 to 16), and a 14-week off-treatment follow-up period for the assessment of safety (Weeks 16 to 30). Eligible subjects may transfer to an open-label, long-term trial at Week 16 or later.

Read the detailed description

Subjects with atopic dermatitis (AD) will be treated with either tralokinumab or dummy treatment (placebo) for 16 weeks. All subjects will receive 2 vaccines at Week 12. The vaccines are:

  1. Tetanus (lockjaw), diphtheria (infection of the nose and throat), and pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine. This combination vaccine is also known as the Tdap vaccine and is used to prevent these 3 diseases.
  2. Meningococcal vaccine. This vaccine is used to prevent meningococcal diseases (infection of the brain and spinal cord) and blood poisoning.

The primary objective of the trial is to demonstrate non-inferiority of tralokinumab versus placebo with respect to immune responses to concomitantly administered vaccines.

The secondary objective is to evaluate efficacy of tralokinumab concomitantly administered with vaccines.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TralokinumabDrug

    Tralokinumab is a human recombinant monoclonal antibody of the IgG4 subclass that specifically binds to human IL-13 and blocks interaction with the IL-13 receptors. It is presented as a liquid formulation for subcutaneous administration.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Placebo contains the same excipients in the same concentration only lacking tralokinumab.

  • Tdap vaccineBiological

    Tetanus (lockjaw), diphtheria (infection of the nose and throat), and pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine. All subjects will receive 1 dose at Week 12.

  • Meningococcal vaccineBiological

    This vaccine is used to prevent meningococcal diseases (infection of the brain and spinal cord) and blood poisoning. All subjects will receive 1 dose at Week 12.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Positive Anti-tetanus Response at Week 16

    The antibody response to Tdap vaccine will be assessed by measuring serum anti-tetanus IgG by an immunoassay. A positive response is defined as a 3-fold IgG increase compared to Week 12 if IgG ≤1.0 IU/mL at Week 12; or IgG ≥2.5 IU/mL if IgG >1.0 IU/mL at Week 12.

    Measured: Week 12 to Week 16

  2. Positive Anti-meningococcal Response at Week 16

    The antibody response to meningococcal vaccine will be assessed by measuring serum anti-meningococcal IgG by an immunoassay. A positive response is defined as at least a 3-fold increase compared to Week 12.

    Measured: Week 12 to Week 16

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Participants With Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Score of 0 (Clear) or 1 (Almost Clear) at Week 16

    The IGA is an instrument used in clinical trials to rate the severity of the subject's global atopic dermatitis and is based on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe).

    Measured: Week 0 to Week 16

  2. Participants Achieving at Least 75% Reduction in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) at Week 16.

    The EASI is a validated measure used in clinical practice and clinical trials to assess the severity and extent of atopic dermatitis.

    > The EASI is a composite index with scores ranging from 0 to 72, with higher values indicating more severe and/or more extensive condition.

    Measured: Week 0 to Week 16

  3. Number of AEs.

    Overall summary of AEs during the treatment period is presented. For list of SAEs and frequent AEs by MedDRA system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) during the entire trial period (including safety follow-up), see Adverse Events Overview section.

    Measured: Week 0 to Week 16

  4. Presence of Anti-drug Antibodies (ADA).

    ADA levels were measured using a validated bioanalytical method. Data were reported in the following categories: positive (presence of ADA at baseline and/or presence of ADA at at least 1 post-baseline assessment), perishing (presence of ADA at baseline and absence of ADA at all post-baseline assessments), negative (absence of ADA at all assessments), no post-baseline ADA assessment.

    Measured: Week 0 to Week 16

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tralokinumab, Tdap vaccine and Meningococcal vaccine in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by LEO Pharma at 51 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 51 sites in United States, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Mar 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Positive Anti-tetanus Response at Week 16 (time frame: Week 12 to Week 16). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Mar 2025.
