In a phase 2 randomized clinical trial, oral ICP-332 effectively reduced atopic dermatitis severity and pruritus in 75 adults over four weeks, demonstrating a favorable safety profile without serious adverse events. The trial showed significant mean reductions in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score, with 64% of patients achieving a 75% improvement compared to only 8% with placebo. Conducted in China and led by Jinhua Xu, PhD, this study supports further investigation of ICP-332 as a potential treatment for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.
