Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Physician-confirmed diagnosis of AD (according to American Academy of Dermatology Consensus Criteria) that is not adequately controlled with topical medications.
2. EASI score of = 12 at screening and = 16 at randomization.
3. IGA score of = 3 (on a scale of 0 to 4, in which 3 is moderate and 4 is severe) at screening and at randomization.
4. Atopic dermatitis involvement of = 8% body- surface area at screening and = 10% body-surface area at randomization.
5. A pruritus numerical rating scale average score for maximum itch intensity of = 4, based on the average of daily pruritus numerical rating scale scores for maximum itch intensity reported during the 7 days prior to randomization.
6. Documented recent history (within 6 months prior to screening) of inadequate response to treatment with topical medications, or patients for whom topical treatments are otherwise medically inadvisable (eg, because of important side effects or safety risks).
7. Participants that have applied a stable dose of topical emollient (moisturizer) twice daily for = 7 consecutive days immediately before the randomization visit. (NOTE: See exclusion criterion 11 for limitations regarding emollients)
8. Participants must be willing and able to complete daily PRO assessments:

* Complete at least 70% of daily PRO assessments between Visit 1 and Visit 2 and
* Complete at least 5 of 7 daily PRO assessments in the 7 days prior to Visit 2.
9. Females of childbearing potential (FOCBP) must agree to use a highly effective method of birth control (confirmed by the Investigator) from randomization, throughout the study duration, and within 16 weeks after last dose of IP and have a negative serum pregnancy test result on Visit 1.
10. Females not of childbearing potential are defined as females who are either permanently sterilized (hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy) or who are postmenopausal. Females will be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic for = 12 months prior to the planned date of randomization without an alternative medical cause. The following age-specific requirements apply:

1. Females < 50 years old will be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatment and with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in the postmenopausal range. Until FSH is documented to be within menopausal range, the participant should be treated as a FOCBP.
2. Females = 50 years old will be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatment.
Minimum age
12 Years
Maximum age
130 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria

2. Known active allergic or irritant contact dermatitis that, in the investigator's opinion, may interfere with the study assessments
3. Current malignancy, or history of malignancy, with the exception of:

1. Participants who have had basal cell carcinoma, localized squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or in situ carcinoma of the cervix are eligible provided that the participant is in remission and curative therapy was completed at least 12 months prior to the date informed consent, was obtained.
2. Participants who have had other malignancies are eligible provided that the participant is in remission and curative therapy was completed at least 5 years prior to the date informed consent, was obtained.
4. Any disorder, including, but not limited to, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, neurological, musculoskeletal, infectious, endocrine, metabolic, hematological, psychiatric, or major physical impairment that is not stable in the opinion of the Investigator and could:

7. Any clinically significant abnormal findings in physical examination, vital signs, hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis during screening/run-in period which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may put the participant at risk because of his/her participation in the study, or may influence the results of the study, or the participant's ability to complete entire duration of the study
8. Current active liver disease:

1. Chronic stable hepatitis B and C (including positive testing for hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] or hepatitis C antibody), or other stable chronic liver disease are acceptable if participant otherwise meets eligibility criteria.

2. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level = 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), confirmed by repeated testing during the run-in period. Transient increase of AST/ALT level that resolves by the time of randomization is acceptable if in the Investigator's opinion the participant does not have an active liver disease and meets other eligibility criteria.
9. A history of known immunodeficiency disorder including a positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test Prior/concomitant Therapy
10. Participants who have received treatment for AD with TCS, topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCI), or topical phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitors within the 7 days prior to the randomization visit
11. Initiation of treatment of AD with prescription moisturizers or moisturizers containing additives such as ceramide, hyaluronic acid, urea, or filaggrin degradation products during the screening period (patients may continue using stable doses of such moisturizers if initiated before the screening visit)
12. Regular use (2 visits per week) of a tanning booth/parlor or phototherapy for AD within 4 weeks prior to the randomization visit
13. Use of immunosuppressive medication including, but not limited to: methotrexate, cyclosporine, azathioprine, systemic corticosteroids within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives prior to the date informed consent is obtained, whichever is longer.

Other

15. Receipt of any marketed or investigational biologic within 4 months or 5 half-lives prior to the date informed consent is obtained, whichever is longer
16. Receipt of live attenuated vaccines 30 days prior to first dose of IP
17. Receipt of any investigational nonbiologic within 30 days or 5 half-lives prior to the date informed consent is obtained, whichever is longer
18. Previously received benralizumab (MEDI-563, FASENRA)
19. Change to allergen immunotherapy or new allergen immunotherapy within 30 days prior to the date of informed consent and anticipated changes in immunotherapy throughout the study
20. Planned elective major surgical procedures during the conduct of the study
21. Previous randomization in the present study
22. Concurrent enrollment in another clinical trial
23. AstraZeneca staff involved in the planning and/or conduct of the study
24. For females only: Currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or lactating females A serum pregnancy test will be done for FOCBP at Visit 1 and a urine pregnancy test must be performed for FOCBP at each subsequent treatment visit prior to IP administration. A positive urine test result must be confirmed with a serum pregnancy test. If serum test is positive, the participant should be excluded.
