Study in Subjects With Moderate Atopic Dermatitis

This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ALX-101 Gel 5% and a matching ALX-101 Gel Vehicle when applied topically twice daily for 56 days in adult and adolescent subjects with moderate atopic dermatitis

The main objectives of this study are to:

* Evaluate the safety of ALX-101 Gel 5% when applied topically twice daily in subjects with moderate atopic dermatitis compared with a matching ALX-101 Gel Vehicle
* Evaluate the efficacy of ALX-101 Gel 5% when applied topically twice daily in subjects with moderate atopic dermatitis compared with a matching ALX-101 Gel Vehicle
