3. Chronic Atopic Dermatitis (AD)

4. Body mass index (BMI) between 18.0 and 30.0 kg/m2, inclusive.

2. A positive QuantiFERON TB test at the screening visit

3. Chest radiograph (posterior-anterior and lateral views) at screening or within 3 months before the screening visit (radiology report must be available) with results consistent with prior TB infection (including but not limited to apical scarring, apical fibrosis, or multiple calcified granuloma). This does not include non-caseating granulomata.

3. Persistent chronic or active recurring infection requiring treatment with antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals within 4 weeks prior to the screening visit.

4. Any clinically significant physical abnormalities observed during the screening visit.

5. Diabetic, hypertensive, or any known atherosclerotic vascular disease.

10. Known sensitivity to any of the components or excipients of the investigational product formulation or history of hypersensitivity to any biologic agent.

11. Participation in any clinical research study evaluating another investigational drug or therapy within 30 days or at least 5 half-lives (whichever is longer), of the investigational drug prior to the screening visit.

12. Any medical or psychiatric condition that in the opinion of the investigator or Regeneron, would place the patient at risk, interfere with participation in the study or interfere with the interpretation of study results.
