Eczema
Research Study
Eczema (also called atopic dermatitis) is a long-lasting skin condition that can cause itching, redness, dryness, and discomfort. While topical medications help some people manage their symptoms, many individuals continue to experience moderate-to-severe eczema or are unable to use certain treatments. This research study will examine whether two investigational steroid-free medicines may be safe, well-tolerated, and effective for adults living with moderate-to-severe eczema.
