Study Details

Brief summary:

This research study is being conducted to find out if the test medicine, abrocitinib, improves eczema and is safe for children 6 to <12 years of age who have moderate-to-severe eczema. Research study participants who meet the study criteria will be assigned by chance (like the flip of a coin) to receive either abrocitinib test medicine or placebo (pretend medicine that looks just like the test medicine) for 16 weeks. The study will last for about 24 weeks in total.

If the participant has SDQ total score ≥17, the investigator should exclude them or refer the child to a pediatric MHP to determine if it is safe to participate in the study. A copy or summary of the evaluation should be placed in the site source documents.

Have any of the following medical conditions:

  • Infections:

  • Skin infections that require treatment with systemic antimicrobials within 2 weeks prior to Day 1 (Baseline) or have superficial skin infections within 1 week of Day 1.
  • History of systemic infection requiring hospitalization or parenteral antimicrobial therapy or as otherwise judged clinically significant by the investigator within 1 month prior to Day 1.
  • Have a history (single episode) of disseminated herpes zoster or disseminated herpes simplex, or a recurrent localized, dermatomal herpes zoster.
  • Infection with HIV, hepatitis B, and/or hepatitis C
  • Evidence of active TB or inadequately treated latent TB.

Concomitant use of strong inhibitors and inducers of CYP2C19 enzymes, strong inducers of CYP2C9 enzymes, P-gp substrates with narrow therapeutic index and sensitive CYP2C19 substrates is not allowed in the study.

Prior/Concurrent Clinical Study Experience:
