EASI-75 was achieved in 79.6% subjects treated with 1.0% MH004 cream versus 42.0% of individuals treated with vehicle.
Mean percentage change from baseline in EASI score was 78.7% in 1.0% MH004 treatment group compared to 46.7% in vehicle group.

By GlobalDataMinghui Pharmaceutical CEO Dr Guoqing Cao said: “MH004 Cream is a topical cream containing a JAK inhibitor that was designed with Minghui’s proprietary technology and formulation.
“These unique designs significantly improved the penetration of low protein binding molecules into multiple skin layers, resulting in a much higher free drug concentration in local skin tissues and much reduced systemic exposure.
“We observed excellent clinical efficacy with reduced side effects and hence the best-in-class potential. Based on the current Phase II results, we plan to further pursue the development of MH004 Cream in atopic dermatitis as well as other dermatological diseases.”
