Topically Applied AMTX-100 CF for Adult Patients With Mild to Moderate Atopic Dermatitis

AMTX-100 CF3 drug product is formulated as a water-based, topical cream incorporating a 28-amino acid synthetic polypeptide (AMTX-100) as the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). AMTX-100 is a chimeric, cell-penetrating, bifunctional nuclear transport modifier (NTM), that is engineered to modulate nuclear transport of transcription factors (NF-κB, NFAT, AP-1, and STAT1) involved in the activation of gene expression of key mediators of inflammation (TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, MCP-1, etc.) and metabolic syndrome (ChREBP and SREBP) by importin α/β complex and importin β, respectively. This further leads to a reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokine production and lipid and carbohydrate metabolic products. AMTX-100 CF3 is intended to improve symptoms associated with mild to moderate Atopic Dermatitis in adults. This Phase I/II study aims to determine the Maximum Tolerable Dose (MTD) by maximum BSA percentage treated and to evaluate efficacy of 1.1% w/w AMTX-100 CF3 versus placebo (vehicle).
