E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To compare the efficacy and health-related quality of life of twice-daily topical application of delgocitinib cream with once-daily oral administration of alitretinoin capsules in the treatment of patients with severe CHE. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To compare the safety of twice-daily topical application of delgocitinib cream with once-daily oral administration of alitretinoin capsules in the treatment of patients with severe CHE. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Participant must be at least 18 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent 2. Diagnosis of CHE defined as hand eczema that has persisted for more than 3 months or returned twice or more within the last 12 months. 3. Disease severity graded as severe at screening and baseline according to IGA-CHE (i.e. an IGA-CHE score of 4). 4. Documented recent history of inadequate response to treatment with TCS (at any time within 1 year before the screening visit) or for whom TCS are documented to be otherwise medically inadvisable 5. Participant is adherent to standard non-medicated skin care including avoidance of known and relevant irritants and allergens. 6. Contraceptive use must be consistent with local regulations (if they are stricter than the protocol requirements) regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.

|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Concurrent skin diseases on the hands. 2. Active atopic dermatitis requiring medical treatment in regions other than the hands and feet. 3. Active psoriasis on any part of the body. 4. Hyperkeratotic hand eczema in combination with a history of psoriasis on any part of the body. 5. Clinically significant infection on the hands. 6. Participants who cannot receive alitretinoin 7. Clinically significant infection within 28 days prior to baseline which, in the opinion of the investigator, may compromise the safety of the participant in the trial, interfere with the evaluation of the IMP, or reduce the participant’s ability to participate in the trial. 8. History of any known primary immunodeficiency disorder including a positive HIV test at screening, or the participant taking antiretroviral medications as determined by medical history and/or participant’s verbal report. 9. Any disorder that is not stable and could: a) Affect the safety of the participant throughout the trial b) Impede the participant’s ability to complete the trial. 10. Positive HBsAg or HCV antibody serology at screening. 11. Systemic treatment with immunosuppressive drugs, immunomodulating drugs, retinoids, potent CYP3A4 inducers (only for WOCBP who take hormonal contraceptives), or corticosteroids within 28 days prior to baseline. 12. Use of tanning beds, phototherapy, or bleach baths on the hands within 28 days prior to baseline. 13. Previous or current treatment with JAK inhibitors, systemic or topical. 14. Cutaneously applied treatment with immunomodulators or TCS on the hands within 14 days prior to baseline. 15. Use of systemic antibiotics or cutaneously applied antibiotics on the hands within 14 days prior to baseline. 16. Other transdermal and cutaneously applied therapy on the hands (except for the use of participant’s own emollients) within 7 days prior to baseline. 17. Cutaneously applied treatments in regions other than the hands, which could interfere with clinical trial evaluations or pose a safety concern, within 7 days prior to baseline. 18. Treatment with any marketed biological therapy or investigational biologic agents, except vaccines: a. Any cell-depleting agents including but not limited to rituximab: within 6 months prior to baseline, or until lymphocyte count returns to normal, whichever is longer. b. Other biologics: within 3 months or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to baseline. 19. Previously used alitretinoin or participated in a clinical trial with alitretinoin or delgocitinib.
