Age = 18 years at time of study entry. 3. Diagnosis of chronic atopic dermatitis for at least 1 year prior to enrollment based on American Academy Criteria 4. Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score =12 at baseline visit (Week 0) 5. Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) =3 at baseline visit (Week 0) 6.

Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Subject is unable to provide written informed consent or comply with the protocol 2.

Active dermatologic conditions that may confound the diagnosis of AD or would interfere with assessment of treatment, such as scabies, cutaneous lymphoma, or psoriasis. 4. Known active allergic or irritant contact dermatitis that is likely to interfere with the assessment of severity of AD. 5. Having used systemic immunosuppressive/immunomodulating therapy (e.g. systemic corticosteroids methotrexate, cyclosporine, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, JAK inhibitors) or tanning beds or phototherapy during any week within the 4 weeks or receipt of any marketed biologic therapy (e.g., dupilumab, tralokinumab) within 3 months or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to baseline 6.
