About

The main purpose of this trial is to investigate what happens to the trial drug in the body and to confirm that it is safe to use and effective for treating atopic dermatitis (AD) in children.

The trial will last up to maximum of approximately 194 weeks, and there will be up to 59 visits. The visits will be held approximately every second week for the first 68 weeks, then the visits will be held every six weeks for the rest of the treatment period. From week 26, every second visit will be held by phone and every second visit will be held on site.

The first part of the trial is called a screening period and will last between 2 and 6 weeks. After the screening period, the trial drug will be administered to the child by subcutaneous (SC) injection. The treatment period with tralokinumab is divided in 3 parts: 1.) initial treatment period for 16 weeks, 2.) open-label treatment period for 52 weeks and 3.) long-term extension treatment period for up to 106 weeks followed by a 14-week safety follow-up period.

All children will use an emollient twice daily (or more) for at least 14 days prior to start of treatment and will continue this treatment throughout the trial. If medically necessary, rescue treatment for AD is allowed at the discretion of the trial doctor.
