Johnson & Johnson (J&J) announced that its investigational candidate JNJ-95475939 (JNJ-5939) failed to meet prespecified efficacy criteria in the DUPLEX-AD Phase 2b trial for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Following an interim analysis, the study was terminated early. Despite showing a favorable tolerability profile, the molecule did not demonstrate sufficient clinical efficacy to warrant continuation.
