Main inclusion criteria:
* Diagnosis of CHE, defined as hand eczema that has persisted for more than 3 months or returned twice or more within the last 12 months.
* Disease severity graded as moderate to severe at screening and baseline according to Investigator's Global Assessment for chronic hand eczema (IGA-CHE) (i.e. an IGA-CHE score of 3 or 4).
* Hand Eczema Symptom Diary (HESD) itch score (weekly average) of ≥4 points at baseline.
* Participants who have a documented recent history of inadequate response to treatment with topical corticosteroids (TCS) or for whom TCS are documented to be otherwise medically inadvisable (e.g. due to important side effects or safety risks).
* Participants adherent to standard non-medicated skin care including avoidance of known and relevant irritants and allergens.
Main exclusion criteria:
* Concurrent skin diseases on the hands, e.g. tinea manuum.
* Active atopic dermatitis requiring medical treatment in regions other than the hands and feet.
* Active psoriasis on any part of the body.
* Hyperkeratotic hand eczema in combination with a history of psoriasis on any part of the body.
* Clinically significant infection on the hands.
* Systemic treatment with immunosuppressive drugs, immunomodulating drugs, retinoids, or corticosteroids within 28 days prior to baseline.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
