Glossary
Atopic dermatitis: a chronic skin disease; a certain type of eczema. Is accompanied by an inherited tendency to develop allergic diseases.
Disease-modifying: in contrast to symptomatic treatment, a disease-modifying treatment aims at addressing the cause of disease and to modify disease progression.
DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid; genetic information of an organism.
Double-blind: a set-up often applied in clinical trials where neither the doctor nor the patient knows if placebo or the active drug substance is applied.
EASI: Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI), a commonly applied test to assess the extent and severity of AD.
Hypersensitivity: an excessive immune reaction. Immunotherapeutic: a product aimed at activation of the immune system to modify and interfere with a certain disease process.
Monotherapy: treatment with one drug as opposed to combination therapy. Here the term refers to treatment with CYT003-QbG10 alone in contrast to a regimen where CYT003-QbG10 is combined to an allergen extract (i.e. CYT005-AllQbG10).
Phase IIa: a clinical trial that examines a new drug candidate’s safety and exploratory efficacy and may include
between 10 and 100 patients.
Placebo: dummy medical treatment.
