Two lesions on left respective right side with a size of 2 x 2 cm to 10 x 10 cm should be available, i.e., study areas. The largest lesion should not be more than 50% larger than the smallest lesion in length and width, i.e., the length of the largest selected lesion ≤ 1.5× the length of the smallest and the width of the largest selected lesion ≤ 1.5× width of the smallest lesion
  • Moderate to severe form of AD, IGA ≥ 3 [2], a mEASI score on the defined study areas of ≥ 4 and with a difference between left study area to right study area of ≤ 1 and which, in the opinion of the Investigator, can achieve complete clearance with a class III corticosteroid treatment for approximately 4 weeks

Who cannot take part

  • Patients treated for AD with systemic drugs, topical corticosteroids class IV and light treatment during the last 3 months
  • Any concomitant medications that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could affect the study outcome
  • Known sensitivity or allergy to any of the study products
  • Any condition for which, in the opinion of the Investigator, participation would not be in the best interest of the participant (e.g., compromise well-being) or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments or procedures
  • Eczema exclusively on the hands

  • Patients assessed by the Investigator to have poor compliance
