About This clinical research study
MAC Clinical Research is currently conducting a trial to test a new oral medication for eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis. Eczema is one of the most common types of skin diseases and affects about 10% of adults. Common features of this inflammatory skin disease include itching and dryness. Eczema often relapses, meaning symptoms will improve for a while but then return.

A full description of the study will be given before you decide to take part, both over the phone and during an appointment at a MAC clinic. This will include you receiving the full patient information sheet (PIS).
If you contact us, it does not mean you have to decide at that point whether to participate.
If you do decide to participate you are free to withdraw at any time.
The purpose of this trial is to test how well the trial drug works at improving eczema, and to see how safe and well tolerated it is. During the trial, eligible participants will receive the trial drug or placebo (dummy medication).
Participants will attend a total of 12 visits, including outpatient visits and telephone calls at one of our clinics over a period of approximately 14 weeks.

ABOUT CLINICAL RESEARCH STUDIES
Clinical research studies are performed as a way of bringing about progress in medicine and research. Clinical research studies make it possible to scientifically assess the properties of a drug, to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of a treatment or a medical device, or to learn more about a disease and methods to diagnose and monitor it.
If the study is successful, it may be an important step towards developing a promising new treatment.
MAC Clinical Research is conducting a trial to evaluate a potential new treatment for eczema.
