Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This study is a Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) study in adult patients who have been diagnosed with moderate to severe Atopic Dermatitis (AD). Thirty patients will be randomized at approximately 15 study sites. This research study is made up of the following parts: Screening Period, Baseline, Treatment Period and Follow-Up Period. Patients will be randomized to receive a Subcutaneous injection of either CBP-201 or placebo once a week for 4 doses. Each dose group will consist of 10 participants, with 8 participants receiving active study drug and 2 receiving matching placebo (8 active: 2 placebo). Three ascending dose levels are planned (75, 150 and 300 mg CBP-201). Patients will be followed for an additional 8 weeks for safety, efficacy and to further characterize the profile of CBP-201.
Adherence is managed by only giving injections in clinic.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 318984 0
To evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of the CBP-201. Safety will be assessed by severity and frequency of the adverse events and serious adverse events. Clinically significant abnormalities in vital signs, laboratory samples, ECGs, and/or physical examination will be noted as adverse events and by evaluating the injection site.
Timepoint [1] 318984 0
Monitored during screening and throughout 11 weeks (EOS or Early Termination) after the last dose of the study treatment.
Secondary outcome [1] 366672 0
To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of CBP-201. Plasma CBP-201 concentrations will be summarized using descriptive statistics.
Timepoint [1] 366672 0
Blood sample for PK will be taken prior to study drug administration on dosing days. In addition, one PK sample will be taken on Day 29, 36, 50, 64 and 78 (or Early Termination). Plasma levels of CBP-201 are being measured for 84 days (12 weeks) following study drug administration to calculate standard PK parameters such as area under the curve (AUC), Cmax and Tmax.
Secondary outcome [2] 366673 0
To evaluate the clinical preliminary efficacy of CBP-201. Efficacy of CBP-201 is assessed by affected body surface area (BSA), the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) and an Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA) of disease severity.
Timepoint [2] 366673 0
Efficacy assessments will be measured during screening, baseline, Day 8, Day 15, Day 22, Day 29, Day 36, Day 50, Day 64 and Day 78 (End of Termination).
Several exploratory efficacy parameters and PRO measures will be evaluated for efficacy trends as follows:
• Percent change in EASI total score from Baseline to end of treatment (EOT) period
• Change in P-NRS from Baseline to EOT period
• Proportion of patients achieving greater than or equal to 2-point improvement in IGA from Baseline
• Change in affected BSA from Baseline
• Proportion of patients achieving greater than or equal to 3-point improvement in P-NRS from Baseline
• Proportion of patients achieving greater than or equal to 50% improvement in EASI from Baseline to EOT period
• Proportion of patients achieving greater than or equal to 75% improvement in EASI from Baseline to EOT period
• Proportion of patients achieving greater than or equal to 90% improvement in EASI from Baseline to EOT period
• Proportion of patients achieving IGA of 0 or 1 (clear; almost clear)
• Change from Baseline in DLQI to EOT period
Secondary outcome [3] 366674 0
To characterize the pharmacodynamic (PD) profile of multiple doses of CBP-201.
Timepoint [3] 366674 0
Blood sample for PD will be taken prior to study drug administration on dosing days. In addition, one PD sample will be taken on Day 29, 36, 50, 64 and 78 (or Early Termination). PD Parameters: Serum levels of IL-4, IL-13, IgE, TARC, LDH and in peripheral eosinophil counts will be measured. Additional PD parameters are LDH and peripheral eosinophil counts.
