Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Phase I Number of patients achieving IGA of 0 or 1 with a ≥2 point improvement in Phase IIa study

• Female or male, age ≥ 20 years old

• Subjects whose body mass index (BMI) at screening is within a range of ≥ 18.5 kg/m2 and <30.0 kg/m2.

BMI = Body Weight (kg) / [Height (m) × Height (m)]2

• Subject's medical history shows no contraindication to the test medications.

• Subjects judged to be in good health by the investigator based upon the results of physical examinations (PEs), electrocardiogram (ECG) test, and all items of routine laboratory tests, including serum biochemistry, hematology and urinalysis, are within normal range as judged by the site. Assessment items of blood biochemistry include albumin, total protein, total bilirubin, ALP, SGOT, SGPT, BUN, serum creatinine. Assessment items of hematology tests include RBC count, WBC with differential counts, hemoglobin, hematocrit and platelet count. Assessment items of urinalysis include pH, color, appearance, gravity, erythrocyte, leukocyte, glucose, protein, ketones and nitrite.

• Female subjects show negative pregnancy test results and all male and female subjects with child-bearing potential (between puberty and 2 years after menopause) should use at least any one of the appropriate contraception methods as shown in inclusion criteria #12 of phase IIa prior to the first study dose.

• Subjects did not take any of the following medications in the specified durations:

• Exposure of test sites to topical medications within 14 days prior to the application of IPs

• Any systemically-absorbed medication (excluding vitamins, food supplements, and hormone contraceptives for birth control) within 14 days prior to the first dose of the study

• Any enzyme inducer/inhibitor and/or known hepatic or renal clearance-altering agents within 30 days prior to the first dose of the study

• Subjects are willing to comply with protocol-stated requirements, instructions and restrictions, followed by understanding and signing the written informed consent form.

Phase IIa

• Female or male, age ≥ 20 years old

• Patients who are diagnosed of atopic dermatitis based on the Hanifin and Rajka Criteria

• Patients with IGA score between mild (2) to moderate (3) and the Eczema Area and Severity Indices (EASI) are ≤ 20

• Patients who have body surface area of atopic dermatitis involvement ≥ 2%, ≤ 20%

• Patients who agree discontinuation of all treatment modalities, such as topical antihistamines, topical antimicrobials, topical corticosteroid and light treatments during the study period for/on the affected site(s) (except the rescue medication prescribed by the study Investigator(s))

• Patients who agree discontinuation of systemic corticosteroids, systemic antihistamines, and systemic immune modulating agents during the study period (except the standard medication oral antihistamine levocetirizine and rescue medication prescribed by the study Investigator(s)).

• Patients are required to stop using treatment drugs listed in criteria #5 for at least 14 days (or longer if the treatment half-life requires so; 7 half-life should have elapsed) and treatment drugs listed in criteria #6 for 28 days before the first investigational drug dose administration.

• Subject is judged to be in general good health (without clinically significant abnormalities) by the Investigator based on medical history, PEs, ECG, and routine laboratory tests at screening.

• Patients who stopped immunosuppressant drugs for at least 28 days prior to the first dosing

• Patients who have taken oral antihistamine of levocetirizine 5 mg once daily for at least 7 days before initiating the study treatment.

• Patients who are eligible and able to participate in the study and accept to enter the study by signing written informed consent forms.

• All male patients and female patients with child-bearing potential (between puberty and 2 years after menopause) should use at least any one of the appropriate contraception methods shown below, for during and at least 4 weeks after GM-XANTHO treatment.

• Total abstinence [when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception].

• Female sterilization (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks before taking study treatment. In case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment.

• Male sterilization. For female subjects on the study, the vasectomized male partner should be the sole partner for that subject.

• Combination of any two of the following listed methods: (d.1+d.2 or d.1+d.3, or d.2+d.3):

• Use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception or other forms of hormonal contraception that have comparable efficacy (failure rate <1%), for example hormone vaginal ring or transdermal hormone contraception.

• Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS).

• Barrier methods of contraception: Condom or Occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/vaginal suppository.
