8. History of inadequate response to a stable (4 weeks) regimen of topical corticosteroids (TCS) or topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCI) as treatment for AD within 6 months before the screening visit. (The TCS should belong to medium to high potency strength and has been applied for at least 4 weeks or for the maximum duration recommended by product prescribing information.)

   • An inadequate response is defined as the inability to achieve and maintain remission or a low disease activity state (comparable to vIGA-AD 0=clear to 2=mild).
   • Subjects with systemic treatment for AD in the past 6 months were also considered as inadequate responders to topical treatments.

9. Patients must be applying stable doses of an additive-free, basic bland emollient twice-daily for at least 1 week immediately before the baseline visit.

   Note: See exclusion criterion #13 for limitations regarding emollients.

10. Female subjects must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening. All subjects of childbearing potential and his/her sexual partner must meet 2 following condition or acceptable methods of birth control throughout the study.

    • Occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with a spermicidal foam, gel, film, cream, or suppository
    • Intrauterine device
    • Intrauterine system (for example, progestin-releasing coil) or be surgically sterile (i.e., hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or vasectomy)
    • Postmenopausal (defined as amenorrhea 12 consecutive months and documented serum follicle stimulating hormone level per laboratory standard) Note: The subject must utilize the method of effective contraception during study period as well as 16 weeks or 5 half-lives following the last dosing of FB825.
11. The subject is able to provide written informed consent.
12. The subject agrees to and is capable of adhering to scheduled visits, the treatment plan, laboratory tests, other study procedures, and all protocol requirements.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Subjects to whom any of the following applies will be excluded from the study:

  1. Female subjects who are pregnant or lactating
  2. The subject with positive test results for HBeAg or HCV RNA should be excluded as they are indications of active hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus replication.
  3. A positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test (e.g., HIV Ag/Ab combo test) at screening or a history of HIV infection.
  4. The subject has a history of alcohol or drug abuse within one year prior to screening that would impair or risk the patients' full participation in the study, in the opinion of the investigator.

  10. The subject has received any immunoglobulin products or blood products within 3 months prior to baseline visit.
  11. The subject has received a biologic product (including investigational biologic product) within 5 half-lives or 3 months, whichever is longer, before baseline visit.
  12. The subject has received an investigational drug within 8 weeks or within 5 half-lives (if known), whichever is longer, before baseline visit.
  13. Initiation of treatment of AD with prescription moisturizers or moisturizers containing additives such as ceramide, hyaluronic acid, urea, or filaggrin degradation products during the screening period.
  14. Initiation of treatment of AD with sedative anti-histamine products during the screening period (patients may continue using stable doses of non-sedative anti-histamine).
