Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age 18-65 (when signing informed consent), regardless of gender;
  • Meets 2014 American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) criteria with diagnosis of atopicdermatitis (AD); In addition, history of AD prior to screening ≥ 6 months; Eczema waspreviously diagnosed but met the 2014 AAD criteria and can still be enrolled.
  • Patients with moderate to severe AD at screening and baseline visit (shall meet all 3criteria as follows):
  1. total area of AD lesions≥ 10% BSA;
  2. IGA ≥3 points;
  3. EASI ≥ 16 points;
  • Baseline peak pruritus NRS ≥4 (The average peak pruritus intensity score in baselinepeak pruritus NRS will be calculated based on the average of the peak pruritusintensity NRS score (daily score range 0-10) for each day during the 7 days prior torandomization. A minimum of 4 days out of 7 days of scoring is required to calculatethe baseline average score. If the patient's reporting days are less than 4 days inthe 7 days prior to the planned randomization date, randomization should be postponeduntil the requirements are met, but not beyond the maximum period of 14 days forscreening);
  • 6 months prior to the screening period, insufficient response to stable (≥1 month)topical corticosteroids (TCS) or calcineurin inhibitors (TCI) (insufficient responsedefined as at least 28 days even if the daily regimen of moderate-high potency TCS (±topical TCI, if applicable) is at least 28 days, or to the maximum recommended courseof treatment (eg, ultra-potent TCS - 14 days) in the product prescribing information (whichever is shorter), Failure to achieve or maintain disease remission or lowdisease activity (equivalent to IGA 0 [=none]-2 [=mild]). or patients who havereceived a record of systemic treatment (adequate dose, adequate course) of AD in thepast 6 months are also considered to have insufficient response to topical drugtherapy, and may be selected for trial after appropriate drug elution and approval bythe sponsor);
  • Before the first dose, subjects must have continuously used the emollient twice a dayfor at least 1 week and maintained throughout the trial (Note: the emollient isprovided by the sponsor);
  • Be able to read and understand, and be willing to sign informed consent forms;
  • Willingness and compliance with research visits and related procedures;
  • Female participants of childbearing age should agree that contraception (e.g.,intrauterine devices, pills, or condoms) must be used during the study period and for 6 months after the end of the study; Negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days priorto first dose and must be a non-lactating subject; Male subjects should agree thatcontraception must be used during the study period and for 6 months after the end ofthe study period.

  • Computed Tomography (CT) of the chest shows active or occult tuberculosis or a historyof contact with an open tuberculosis (TB) subject within the past 6 months. If thelaboratory T cell spot test for tuberculosis infection test (or other tuberculosisdiagnostic test) is positive, its activity is judged in combination with the medicalhistory, clinical manifestations, etc., and the investigator determines whether it canbe enrolled;
  • Active hepatitis during the screening period, or positive for hepatitis B surfaceantigen (HBsAg), or positive for hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb);
  • History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, or positive HIV serologicalresults at screening, and positive antibodies to treponema pallidum during screening
