E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The purpose of this study is to determine whether QAW039 is safe and has beneficial effects in people who have moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD)

elbows, behind knees, fronts of ankles, around neck or around eyes)
• Personal history of asthma or hay fever
• History of generally dry skin in the past year
• Onset before age of 2 years
• Visible flexural dermatitis
- Patients with an EASI score of ≥15 at screening and stable AD (not currently
experiencing an acute flare of their AD)
- Patients that have been treated with topical corticosteroids or topical calcineurin inhibitors on at least one occasion, or could not use topical drugs (due to
contraindications, side effects, etc.) and are candidates for or have previously received systemic treatment. |
