Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to describe the safety and tolerability of the study drug compared to the vehicle solution with twice daily dosing in subjects with Atopic Dermatitis. Patients with Atopic Dermatitis aged between 18 and 65 years, inclusive, will participate. BTX 1204 4% Solution or Vehicle Solution will be applied twice daily for 28 days. The study consists of a screening visit (up to 14 days before receiving study treatment) and an enrolment visit initially. There is a visit on Day 8 and Day 15 during the 28 day dosing period. Participants will return to the clinic on Day 29 for safety assessments. The maximum study duration for any participant will be a total of up to 43 days; screening period (up to 14 days), 28 days of treatment and a visit on Day 29.

Interventions

Approximately 36 participants with atopic dermatitis will be enrolled and will receive BTX 1204 4% Solution or Vehicle Solution applied topically on their target lesion twice daily for 28 days. The Vehicle Solution will be identical to the BTX 1204 4% Solution, but without the active ingredient. At the Day 1 Visit, participants will receive their first study drug application at the clinical site during the morning visit.

Approximately 36 participants with atopic dermatitis will be enrolled and will receive BTX 1204 4% Solution or Vehicle Solution applied topically on their target lesion twice daily for 28 days. The Vehicle Solution will be identical to the BTX 1204 4% Solution, but without the active ingredient. At the Day 1 Visit, participants will receive their first study drug application at the clinical site during the morning visit. Participants will be trained in the correct application of the study drug and provided an ample supply of study drug to complete twice daily dosing through Day 7. The first application of study drug will occur in the morning and the second application approximately 12 hours later. A diary will be maintained documenting compliance with the self-administered application. At the Day 8 Visit, the participant will be provided an ample supply of study drug to complete dosing through Day 14. At the Day 15 Visit, the participant will be provided an ample supply of study drug to complete dosing through Day 28. The final application of study drug will be applied by the participant on the evening prior to the Day 29 Visit.

Participant has suitable venous access for blood sampling. 5. Participant is able and willing to complete the study and to comply with all study instructions and attend the necessary visits. 6. Participant has a diagnosis of atopic dermatitis according to Hanifin and Rajka [Hannifin 1980] as it relates to adult truncal or extremity atopic dermatitis, with: a. At least one lesion 25 to 200 cm^2 in surface area (target lesion) b. Target lesion on the trunk, upper extremities or lower extremities c. Target lesion with a Signs of AD score of >= 6 and <= 12 7. Participant has an Investigator’s Static Global Assessment (ISGA) score on the target lesion of mild (2) or moderate (3). 8. Participant agrees to not use marijuana products throughout the study. 9. Male participants and their partners must agree and commit to use a barrier method of contraception. 10. A negative urine pregnancy test (UPT) result for all WOCBP at the Screening Visit and Baseline Visit. A WOCBP is one who is not permanently sterilised or not postmenopausal.

Participant has any significant active infection. 5. Participant has known HIV infection. 6. Participant has atopic dermatitis total body surface area involvement of >35%, excluding involvement of the face, scalp, and groin. 7. Participant has excessive body hair that would interfere with the evaluation of safety or with the diagnosis or assessment of AD. 8. Participant has sunburns, unevenness in skin tones, tattoos, scars, excessive hair, freckles, birthmarks, moles, or other skin damage or abnormality that would result in the inability to evaluate the target lesion. 9. Participant has unstable AD consistent with a requirement for high-potency corticosteroids. 10. Participant has an active or potentially recurring skin conditions(s) other than AD. 11. Participant has active impetigo at target lesion. 12. Participant has clinically significant or severe allergies. 13.
