Clinical Research Studies

Atopic dermatitis (AD), also called eczema, is a skin condition that makes your child’s skin red, scaly, and very itchy. AD is long-lasting and can flare or worsen from time to time. Children with AD may also be more likely to develop asthma and/or food allergies. Currently, there are a number of treatments available for AD, but there is still a need for safe topical treatments that provide fast and effective control of the symptoms of AD, particularly in children. The purpose of this Research Study, is to determine if an investigational cream, ruxolitinib cream, is safe and effective to treat AD. In this Study, ruxolitinib cream will be compared to a “vehicle cream” for the first 8 weeks. The vehicle cream looks like the ruxolitinib cream but contains no ruxolitinib. When ruxolitinib cream is mentioned together with the vehicle cream, they will collectively be called the “Study Cream.” After 8 weeks, your child will be treated only with ruxolitinib cream for 44 weeks, a period called long-term safety.
