First-in-Human Trial to Assess REGN20423 in Healthy Adult Participants and Adult Participants With Atopic Dermatitis (AURA-AD)

April 7, 2026 updated by: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals

A Two-Part Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled First-in-Human Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Immunogenicity of REGN20423 in Adult Healthy Participants and Adult Participants With Atopic Dermatitis

This clinical trial will evaluate REGN20423, an investigational medicine that has not previously been studied in humans and is used only in clinical studies. The study will assess the safety, how the body processes the medicine, and the dose levels that may work best. It will also test whether REGN20423 can help treat adults with atopic dermatitis.

This is a two-part study:

Part A includes healthy adult participants. Part B includes adults with atopic dermatitis.

The Study is Looking at:

  • What side effects REGN20423 might cause
  • How much REGN20423 is in the blood at different times
  • How well REGN20423 works in adults with atopic dermatitis
  • Whether the body makes antibodies against REGN20423
  • How the body changes after having REGN20423, which can help researchers understand why REGN20423 works better in some people than others
  • What the best dose of REGN20423 is

Absolute change from baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score
Time Frame: Up to 52 weeks

Part B

EASI is a validated measure used to assess the severity and extent as a percentage by body area of head, trunk, arms and legs, and converted to a score of 0 to 6. Higher scores indicate higher improvement. Also, AD disease characteristics will be assessed for severity by the investigator or designee on a scale of "0" (absent) through "3" (severe)

Up to 52 weeks
Percent change from baseline in EASI score
Time Frame: Up to 52 weeks

Achievement of Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) 0-1
Time Frame: Up to 52 weeks

Part B

IGA is a frequently used clinician-reported instrument in clinical studies for rapid and easy assessment of disease severity of AD globally. It is based on a 5-point scale with range from "0" (clear) to "4" (severe), with higher scores indicating more severe disease
