COAST 1 Trial Summary

This trial is testing a drug to treat moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. It has a 2-4 week screening period, 24-week randomized, double-blind period and up to 10 visits.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) covering at least 10% of their body, who haven't responded well to topical treatments or for whom those aren't advised. Participants should have had AD for a year, weigh over 40 kg, and meet specific severity scores on medical scales.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Amlitelimab injections against a placebo in people with AD. It's double-blind, meaning neither the researchers nor participants know who gets the real treatment. The study lasts up to 44 weeks with an option to join a follow-up study.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects of Amlitelimab are not detailed here but may include reactions similar to other medications affecting the immune system such as injection site reactions, infections due to lowered immunity, and potential allergic responses.

Other Research
Common treatments for Atopic Dermatitis (AD) include monoclonal antibodies and other systemic therapies that target specific components of the immune system. Monoclonal antibodies like Dupilumab inhibit cytokines such as IL-4 and IL-13, which play key roles in the inflammatory process of AD, thereby reducing inflammation and itching. Amlitelimab, a monoclonal antibody targeting OX40L, modulates T-cell activation and survival, offering another pathway to control the immune response. These targeted therapies are particularly important for patients with moderate to severe AD who do not respond to topical treatments, as they provide more effective symptom management and improve overall quality of life.
