  • Phototherapy (ultraviolet B [UVB] or Psoralen Ultraviolet A [PUVA]) for AD within four weeks of baseline (Day 1) visit.
  • Treatment with TCS or topical calcineurin inhibitor (TCI) within 7 days before the baseline (Day 1) visit.

To investigate the safety and tolerability of repeated subcutaneous (s.c.) doses of MOR106 administered concomitantly with topical corticosteroids (TCS) in participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) who are candidates for systemic therapy.

Being tested
MOR106, Placebo
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • MOR106Drug

    MOR106 liquid formulation for s.c. injection administered concomitantly with TCS (medium potency).

  • PlaceboDrug

    Placebo liquid formulation for s.c. injection administered concomitantly with TCS (medium potency).

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Adverse Event of Special Interest (AESIs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An Adverse Events (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence, new or worsening of any pre-existing condition, in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal product and which did not necessarily had to have a causal relationship with the treatment. TEAEs: AES with an onset date on or after the start date of the IMP administration. AESIs: skin-related events (SRE) (except exacerbation and infective exacerbation of AD) or injection site reactions (ISRs) as per common terminology criteria for AEs (Grade 3: ulceration or necrosis; severe tissue damage; operative intervention indicated, Grade 4: life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated, Grade 5: death ). An SAE: AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect; is medically significant.

    Measured: Day 1 up to Day 169/Early discontinuation(ED)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Serum Concentrations of MOR106

    Measured: Day 1, Day 4, Day 15, Day 29, Day 43, Day 57, Day 71, Day 85, Day 99, Day 113, Day 127, Day 141, Day 155 and Day 169

  2. Number of Participants With Anti-drug Antibodies (ADAs)

    Measured: Day 1 up to Day 169/ED

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MOR106 in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by Lakefront Biotherapeutics NV at 14 sites in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 14 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in United States. 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 Jan 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?

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Adverse Event of Special Interest (AESIs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: Day 1 up to Day 169/Early discontinuation(ED)). 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 5 Jan 2021.
