Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a randomized (treatment assigned by chance), double-blind (patient and investigator will not know what treatment is being given), multicenter, parallel-group, exploratory study in adult Japanese patients with moderate atopic dermatitis. This study will include 3 phases. In the screening phase, patients' eligibility will be determined. During the treatment phase, eligible patients will receive JNJ-39758979, 300 or 100 mg once daily, or placebo (a treatment that looks like JNJ-39758979, but contains no active agent) for up to 6 weeks. Study visits will occur at the end of Weeks 1, 2, 4, and 6. There will be a follow-up visit 4 weeks after dosing is complete. The duration of participation in the study for an individual patient may be up to 14 weeks (including screening). Patient safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

20 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of atopic dermatitis based on the criteria of the Japanese Dermatological Association and have: pruritus (itching); eczema-like changes in a typical pattern, and a chronic or chronically relapsing course.
  • Childhood onset (under age of 13) of atopic dermatitis.
  • Diagnosis of moderate atopic dermatitis based on the Rajka Langeland score between 4.5 and 7.5, inclusive.
  • Have at least 3 ratings of "Moderate itching", "Severe itching", or "Extremely severe itching" either at night or during the day based on the Pruritus Categorical Response Scale (PCRS) in the 7 days prior to randomization.
  • Atopic dermatitis with 10% to 50% (inclusive) Body Surface Area (BSA) involvement.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have current signs or symptoms of liver or renal insufficiency or cardiac, vascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurologic, hematologic, psychiatric, or metabolic disturbances that are severe, progressive or uncontrolled in the Investigator's opinion. Patients with well controlled asthma, allergic rhinitis, or allergic conjunctivitis are allowed to participate. Atopic dermatitis patients with other chronic conditions will not be excluded if the Investigator has determined that the condition is not severe or progressive and is being controlled with stable therapy.
  • Have any known malignancy or have a history of malignancy (with the exception of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma in situ of the skin, or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has been treated with no evidence of recurrence within 5 years prior to the first administration of study agent).
  • Evidence of any other skin condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would interfere with the assessment of atopic dermatitis.
  • Use of non-steroid immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory agents within 4 weeks of randomization, including cyclosporine A, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, and interferon gamma.
  • Use of systemic corticosteroids within 4 weeks of randomization.
