What is being measured

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

  1. Incidents of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) from Baseline through the End of Study (EOS) Visit (Week 12) in Part A

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study medication, whether or not considered related to the study medication. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study medication.

    Measured: From Baseline up to Week 12 in Part A

  2. Incidents of treatment-emergent serious adverse events (TESAEs) from Baseline through the EOS Visit (Week 12) in Part A

    A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose:

    • Results in death
    • Is life-threatening
    • Requires inpatient hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation
    • Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or
    • Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect
    • Other important medical events which based on medical or scientific judgement may jeopardize the patients, or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the above

    Measured: From Baseline up to Week 12 in Part A

  3. Incidents of TEAEs from Baseline through the EOS Visit (Week 22) in Part B

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study medication, whether or not considered related to the study medication. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study medication.

    Measured: From Baseline up to Week 22 in Part B

  4. Incidents of TESAEs from Baseline through the EOS Visit (Week 22) in Part B

    A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose:

    • Results in death
    • Is life-threatening
    • Requires inpatient hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation
    • Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or
    • Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect
    • Other important medical events which based on medical or scientific judgement may jeopardize the patients, or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the above

    Measured: From Baseline up to Week 22 in Part B

  5. ≥75% improvement vs Baseline (Yes/No) in Eczema Area and Severity Index score (EASI75) at Week 12 in Part B

    The Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) is a validated scoring system that grades the physical signs of atopic dermatitis/eczema. A participant's EASI is scored through evaluation of 4 body regions: Head and neck; Trunk; Upper extremities; Lower extremities

    The severity of disease is evaluated by assessing each of 4 clinical signs for each area:

    Erythema; Edema/papulation; Excoriation; Lichenification The severity of each clinical sign is scored as: 0=None, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, 3=Severe.

    Measured: From Baseline up to Week 12 in Part B

  9. Validated Investigator Global Assessment (vIGA) score of 0 or 1 (Y/N) at Week 12 in Part B

Individual data sharing
Yes: Data from this trial may be requested by qualified researchers six months after product approval in the US and/or Europe, or global development is discontinued, and 18 months after trial completion. Investigators may request access to anonymized individual patient-level data and redacted trial documents which may include: analysis-ready datasets, study protocol, annotated case report form, statistical analysis plan, dataset specifications, and clinical study report. Prior to use of the data, proposals need to be approved by an independent review panel at www.Vivli.org and a signed data sharing agreement will need to be executed. All documents are available in English only, for a prespecified time, typically 12 months, on a password protected portal. This plan may change if the risk of reidentifying trial participants is determined to be too high after the trial is completed; in this case and to protect participants, individual patient-level data would not be made available.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing UCB1381 in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by UCB Biopharma SRL at 16 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 14 inclusion and 17 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 22 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Incidents of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) from Baseline through the End of Study (EOS) Visit (Week 12) in Part A (time frame: From Baseline up to Week 12 in Part A). The study lists 5 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 22 Jul 2026.
