This is a Phase 1, randomised, double-blind, vehicle controlled study to determine the safety, tolerability, PK and efficacy of twice daily application of topical BioLexa™ lotion, administered for 28 days in adult healthy subjects, in adult patients with mild to moderate AD and in adolescent patients with mild to moderate AD.
This study will consist of 3 parts. Part A: Part A will consist of Cohort 1 constituting of heathy subjects. The total body surface area (BSA) dosed will be either 9% or 27% BSA for Cohort 1 subjects. Part A will include both an active-control (lotion base + 0.1% gentamicin) and a placebo control, applied at 9% or 27% BSA. Part B: Part B will consist of Cohort 2 made up of adult mild to moderate AD patients. The minimum %BSA dosed will be 3% BSA and the maximum will be 27% BSA for patients in Cohort 2. Part B will include both an active-control (lotion base + 0.1% gentamicin) and a placebo control. Open-Label Cohort: After closure of Part B, open-label enrolment of patients with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis affecting 3-27% BSA for treatment with BioLexa for 14 days (unblinded).
