Dermatitis, Atopic, Healthy
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation, phase I study for the assessment of safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single ascending doses of MOR106 in healthy male subjects and multiple ascending doses in subjects with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.
