Study Summary

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of 24 weeks of lebrikizumab in improving disease severity, signs, and symptoms in adults and adolescents with moderate-to-severe AD in Part 1 and to describe how similar is the current maintenance dosing regimen of lebrikizumab 250 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W) to the new proposed; lebrikizumab 500 mg every 12 weeks (Q12W), in terms of efficacy, safety, PK, ADA and blood biomarkers.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

Part 1:

  1. Adults and adolescents (aged greater than or equal to [>=] 12 to less than [<] 18 atthe time of informed consent form [ICF]/informed assent form [IAF] signature andweighing 40 >= kilograms [kg]) who are candidates for systemic AD therapy.

  2. Chronic AD (according to Hanifin and Rajka Criteria (Hanifin 1980)) that has beenpresent for >= 1 year before the screening visit.

  3. EASI score >= 12 at the Day 1/Baseline Visit.

  4. IGA score >= 3 (moderate) (scale of 0 [clear] to 4 [severe]) at the Day 1/Baselinevisit.

  5. >= 10% BSA of AD involvement at the Day 1/Baseline visit.

  6. History of inadequate response to treatment with topical medications; ordetermination that topical treatments are otherwise medically inadvisable.

  7. Completed electronic diary (eDiary) entries for pruritus and sleep-loss for aminimum of 4 of 7 days before Day 1/Baseline.

  8. Willing and able to comply with all clinic visits and study-related procedures andquestionnaires.

  9. For women of childbearing potential: agree to remain abstinent (refrain fromheterosexual intercourse) or to use a highly effective contraceptive method duringthe treatment period and for at least 4 weeks or 1 menstrual period after the lastdose of lebrikizumab.

  10. Participant must provide signed ICF. Adolescent participants must also provideseparate informed assent to enroll in the study and sign and date either a separateIAF or the ICF signed by the parent/legal guardian (as appropriate based on localregulations and requirements). Part 2:

  11. Demonstrate clinical response to treatment at Week 24 of Part 1, defined asachieving EASI 75 or IGA 0/1 without the use of high-potency TCS within the prior 4weeks or systemic corticosteroids at any time post baseline.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Prior treatment at any time with tralokinumab, lebrikizumab, or an oral JAKinhibitor.

  2. Intention to use any concomitant medication or therapy that is not permitted by thisprotocol or failure to undergo the required washout period for a particularprohibited medication.

  3. History of anaphylaxis as defined by the Sampson criteria (Sampson 2006).

  4. Uncontrolled chronic disease that might require bursts of oral corticosteroids, eg,comorbid severe uncontrolled asthma (defined by an Asthma Control Questionnaire-5score >= 1.5 or a history of >= 2 asthma exacerbations within the last 12 monthsrequiring systemic [oral and/or parenteral] corticosteroid treatment orhospitalisation for >24 hours).

  5. Occurrence of the following types of infection within 3 months before or duringscreening or development of these infections before Day 1/Baseline:

  6. Serious (requiring hospitalisation, and/or IV or equivalent oral antibiotictreatment, as per the Investigator's opinion);

  7. Opportunistic (as defined by Winthrop et al. (Winthrop 2015))

  8. Chronic (duration of symptoms, signs, and/or treatment of 6 weeks or longer);

  9. Recurring (including, but not limited to herpes simplex, herpes zoster,recurring cellulitis, chronic osteomyelitis).

  10. Known current or chronic infection with any hepatitis virus.

  11. Known liver cirrhosis and/or chronic hepatitis of any aetiology.

  12. Known active endoparasitic infection or at high risk of these infections.

  13. Known or suspected history of immunosuppression, including history of invasiveopportunistic infections (e.g., tuberculosis, histoplasmosis, listeriosis,coccidioidomycosis, pneumocystosis, and aspergillosis) despite infection resolution:or unusually frequent, recurrent, or prolonged infections, per the Investigator'sjudgement.

  14. History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or known positive HIVserology.

  15. Any clinically significant laboratory test results from the chemistry or haematologytests obtained at the Screening visit that would jeopardise the participantsparticipation in the study, per the Investigator's judgement.

  16. Presence of skin comorbidities that may interfere with study assessments.

  17. History of malignancy, including mycosis fungoides, within 5 years before theScreening visit, except completely treated in situ carcinoma of the cervix,completely treated and resolved nonmetastatic squamous or basal cell carcinoma ofthe skin with no evidence of recurrence in the past 12 weeks.

  18. Severe concomitant illness(es) that in the Investigator's judgement would adverselyaffect the participation in the study. Any other medical or psychological conditionthat in the opinion of the Investigator may suggest a new and/or insufficientlyunderstood disease, may present an unreasonable risk to the study participantbecause of his/her participation in this clinical trial, may make participationunreliable, or may interfere with study assessments.

  19. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or women planning to become pregnant or breastfeedduring the study.

  20. Any known hypersensitivity or allergic response to lebrikizumab or any component ofthe investigational medicinal product (IMP).

  21. For the scratch sensor substudy only: a history of allergic response to skinadhesives, active skin or systemic infection, active AD on the back of the hand, ora pre-existing sleep disorder, including insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, orrestless leg syndrome, or currently taking prescription sleep medications.

Study Design

Total Participants: 520
Treatment Group(s): 2
Primary Treatment: Placebo
Phase: 3
Study Start date:

Study Description

This study consists of two parts. Part 1 is a single-arm, open-label design, where participants will receive lebrikizumab subcutaneous (SC) injections up to Week 24. Part 2 is a randomized, double-blind design, in which participants who achieve clinical response in Part 1 will continue receiving lebrikizumab treatment across two periods: a Run-in period and a Double-blind period. Participants who do not maintain at least a 50% reduction in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) from baseline during Double-Blind Period will enter an Escape Arm.
