The purpose of the study is to evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of LNK01004 ointment (0.3%, 1.0%, and 1.5%) vs vehicle twice daily (BID) in Adults Patients with Atopic Dermatitis.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, dose-escalation study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of LNK01004 ointment twice daily (BID) in participants with Mild to Moderate atopic dermatitis as compared with vehicle cream BID.

Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)
Number of participants with at least one TEAE.
Time frame: Baseline up to week 4
Maximum concentration (Cmax) for LNK01004 in plasma
Cmax is defined as the maximum observed plasma concentration for LNK01004
Time frame: Day1 and Day 7
Area under plasma concentration versus time curve, time zero to infinity
The area under the plasma concentration-time curve is a method of measurement of the total exposure of a drug in plasma
Time frame: Day 1 and Day7
Mean Percentage Change From Baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Score
The EASI is an instrument to measure the severity and extent of AD. The body is first divided into 4 areas: head (10% of skin), arms (20%), trunk (30%), and legs (40%). Then, the area affected is scored from 0 (0% involvement) to 6 (90-100% involvement), and severity is scored from 0 ('none') to 3 ('severe'). The EASI combines the area affected and severity ratings to get a final composite score ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). Note that palms and soles were treated as appropriate but were not counted towards any measurements of EASI.
Time frame: Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, and 4
Number of Participants Achieving a 75% Decrease From Baseline in EASI Score (EASI-75)
The number of participants with a decrease of at least 75% from the baseline EASI total score is presented. The EASI is an instrument to measure the severity and extent of AD. The body is first divided into 4 areas: head (10% of skin), arms (20%), trunk (30%), and legs (40%). Then, the area affected is scored from 0 (0% involvement) to 6 (90-100% involvement), and severity is scored from 0 ('none') to 3 ('severe'). The EASI combines the area affected and severity ratings to get a final composite score ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease), with positive results indicating an increase from baseline in EASI total score (i.e., increased symptoms) and negative results indicating a decrease from baseline score (i.e., decreased symptoms). Note that palms and soles were treated as appropriate but were not counted towards any measurements of EASI.

Number of Participants Achieving ≥4-Point Improvement in WI-NRS Pruritus Score
The number of participants achieving a ≥4-point improvement from Baseline in WI-NRS score is presented. The WI-NRS is a simple, single item scale to assess the subject-reported severity of this symptom, on a scale ranging from 0 ("no itch") to 10 ("worst imaginable itch") the subject experienced in the previous 24 hours. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.
Time frame: Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, and 4
Percentage of Participants Achieving an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Score of 0 to 1 Who Have an Improvement of ≥ 2 Points From Baseline
IGA is an assessment scale used to determine severity of atopic dermatitis (AD) and clinical response to treatment on a 5-point scale (0 = clear; 1 = almost clear; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; 4 = severe) based on erythema and papulation/infiltration. Therapeutic response was an IGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear). An IGA responder was defined as a participant achieving an IGA score of 0 to 1 and an IGA score improvement at least 2 from baseline.
Time frame: Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, and 4
