Fezakinumab (anti-IL-22) treatment in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis

We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in adults with moderate-to-severe AD unresponsive to conventional topical or systemic treatment. Fezakinumab (ILV-094; anti IL-22 monoclonal antibody) monotherapy was administered for 12 weeks (primary endpoint), and clinical responses were followed until week 20. AD transcriptome significantly improved at week 12 in fezakinumab vs. placebo (p<1E-18).
