A Phase I/IIA, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Ascending Dose (Part A, Participant- and Investigator-Blind) and Repeated-Dose (Part B, Participant-, Investigator-, and Sponsor-Blind) Study to Investigate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of UCB9741 in Healthy Study Participants (Part A) and in Study Participants With Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis (Part B)
Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of single-ascending doses of UCB9741 administered by intravenous infusion or subcutaneous injection to healthy study participants and following repeat dosing at a single dose level in study participants with atopic dermatitis. Furthermore, the clinical efficacy outcome in study participants with atopic dermatitis after administration of UCB9741 by intravenous infusion will be investigated.

Inadequate response is defined as failure to achieve and maintain remission or low disease remission or a low disease activity state (validated Investigator Global Assessment (vIGA) 0=clear to vIGA 2=mild) despite treatment with a daily regimen of TCS of medium to higher potency (±TCI as appropriate), applied for at least 4 weeks or for the maximum duration recommended by the product prescribing information (eg, 2 weeks for high potency TCS), whichever is shorter -Participant has a body mass index (BMI) within the range 18 to 32 kg/m^2 (inclusive) -Participant can be male or female −A male participant must agree to use contraception during the Treatment Period and for at least 60 days after the final dose of IMP, and refrain from donating sperm during this period −A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least 1 of the following conditions applies: i) Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) OR ii) A WOCBP who agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance during the treatment period and for at least 60 days after the final dose of IMP
