Amgen Inc. is conducting a Phase 3 clinical study titled ‘A Phase 3, Randomized, 52-week, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind Study With Re-randomization to Assess the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Rocatinlimab (AMG 451) in Adolescent Subjects With Moderate-to-severe Atopic Dermatitis (AD) (ROCKET-ASTRO)’. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rocatinlimab, a drug intended to treat adolescents with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, potentially offering a new therapeutic option for this condition.
The intervention being tested is rocatinlimab, administered via subcutaneous injection. It is being evaluated both as a monotherapy and in combination with topical corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors, with the goal of improving treatment outcomes for atopic dermatitis.
This interventional study is randomized and follows a sequential intervention model. It employs double-blinding, meaning neither the participants nor the investigators know who is receiving the actual drug or a placebo. The primary purpose of the study is treatment-focused.
The study began on April 20, 2023, and is currently active but not recruiting new participants. The primary completion date is projected for July 1, 2025, which is also the date of the last update. These timelines are crucial for tracking the study’s progress and anticipating when results might influence market dynamics.
Amgen’s study update could potentially impact its stock performance positively if the results demonstrate significant efficacy and safety, as it would enhance its portfolio in the dermatology market. This could also affect investor sentiment, particularly if the drug shows promise against competitors in the atopic dermatitis treatment space.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
