The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of a monoclonal antibody, OpSCF, in the treatment of adults with moderate to severe Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema). OpSCF will be compared to a placebo. OpSCF or placebo will be administered every 2 weeks for 14 weeks, and the efficacy will be assessed two weeks later. After that, subjects may choose to enter an Open Label Extension phase in which all subjects will receive OpSCF every 4 weeks for 40 additional weeks.

Percent Change From Baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) at Week 16
The EASI quantifies the severity of a participant's AD based on both lesion severity and the % of body surface area (BSA) affected. Severity of clinical signs of AD lesions (erythema \[E\], induration/papulation\[I\], excoriation\[Ex\] \& lichenification\[L\]) was scored separately for each of 4 body regions\[head(h), upper extremities(u), trunk(t), lower extremities(l)\] on a 4-point scale:0= absent; 1= mild;2= moderate;3= severe. EASI area score was based on % BSA with AD in body region: 0(no involvement), 1(\< 10%),2 (10 to \<30%), 3(30 to \<50%), 4(50 to \<70%), 5(70 to \<90%) and 6(90 to 100%). The EASI score is obtained as: EASI(A) = 0.1\*(Eh+Ih+Exh+Lh)\*Ah + 0.2\*(Eu+Iu+Exu+Lu)\*Au + 0.3\*(Et +It+Ext+Lt)\*At + 0.4\*(El+Il+Exl+Ll)\*Al. Total EASI score = 0.0 to 72.0; higher scores indicate greater severity of AD. Here, a negative change from baseline indicates less severity in AD.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 16
Number of Participants Who Experienced At-Least One Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in participant administered a pharmaceutical product \& that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. It can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a study product, whether or not considered related to the study product. An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose resulted in death, was life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity \& was a congenital anomaly/birth defect. Any AE starting on or after the first dose date will be considered TEAE.
Time frame: From first dose of study drug up to end of follow-up (up to Week 67)

Change From Baseline in Weekly Average of the Daily Peak Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale (PP-NRS)
PP-NRS is based on the Numeric Rating Scale which was used to assess the level of itch the participant was experiencing. The following question was asked to participants: "On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 = "no itch" and 10 = "worst itch imaginable", how would you rate your itch at the worst moment during the previous 24 hours?" Based on the score provided by participant, the PP-NRS score was assigned. Higher score indicates more severity. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

Change From Baseline in Body Surface Area (BSA) Involved With Atopic Dermatitis (AD)
The overall BSA affected by AD was evaluated (from 0% to 100%). It was calculated using the palm surface area method. This method states that palmar surface of 1 hand (using the participant's hand and including the fingers) represents 1% of his or her total BSA.

DLQI is a 10 questions questionnaire to measure how much skin problems have affected a participant's life over the last week. Each question is scored from 0 to 3 (0 = Not at all, 1 = A little, 2 = A lot and 3 = Very much). The DLQI is calculated by summing the score of each question, giving a total score ranging from 0 (not at all) to 30 (very much). The higher the score the more quality of life is impaired. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement in QoL.
