About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess Immunization Responses in Adult and Adolescent Subjects With Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis Treated With Nemolizumab
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of nemolizumab (CD14152) on humoral immune responses to tetanus and meningococcal vaccination in adult and adolescent participants with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).
Read the detailed description
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, parallel-group study in adult and adolescent participants (≥ 12 to 54 years) with moderate-to-severe AD. Eligible participants must have a documented history of inadequate response to topical AD medication(s). Approximately 200 participants were randomized 1:1 to receive either 30 mg nemolizumab (with a 60 mg loading dose) or placebo, stratified by baseline disease severity Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) (IGA = 3, moderate; IGA = 4, severe). The study consisted of a 2- to 4-week screening period, a 16-week treatment period, and an 8-week follow-up period (12 weeks after the last study drug injection).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Nemolizumab in people with Dermatitis, Atopic, run by Galderma R&D at 64 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 5 inclusion and 6 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 1 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 64 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 Jun 2025). 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?
Percentage of Participants With a Positive Serum Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Response (>= 4-Fold Increase or >= 0.2 IU/mL in Anti-Tetanus IgG Concentrations) to Tetanus Toxoid at Week 16 (4 Weeks Post-vaccination) (time frame: At Week 16 (4 weeks post-vaccination)). 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 1 Jun 2026.
