Recruitment Details |
Participants were enrolled at 171 clinical sites in 22 countries in the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, Middle East, North America, and Oceania. The study included a 16-week double-blind treatment period followed by a blinded extension period (ongoing). The first 810 adults and adolescents enrolled constituted the Main Study; additional adolescents were enrolled in the Adolescent Substudy to ensure enrollment of a total of 180 adolescent participants overall. Results are reported up to Week 16. |
Pre-assignment Details | Participants were randomized equally into 1 of 3 treatment groups, stratified by disease severity (validated Investigator Global Assessment Scale for Atopic Dermatitis [vIGA-AD] moderate [3] vs severe [4]), geographic region (US/Puerto Rico/Canada, Japan, China, and Other), and age (adolescent [ages 12 to 17] vs adult [ages 18 to 75]). Randomization for the adolescent substudy was stratified by disease severity (vIGA-AD 3 vs vIGA-AD 4) and geographic region (US/Puerto Rico/Canada vs Other). |

Measure Description:
The vIGA-AD was used to assess the severity of atopic dermatitis based on lesion appearance on the following scale:
|
||||||||
Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Score
[1] Mean (Standard Deviation) Unit of measure: Score on a scale |
||||||||
Number Analyzed | 264 participants | 261 participants | 260 participants | 63 participants | 60 participants | 60 participants | 968 participants | |
30.06 (12.860) | 29.03 (11.925) | 29.68 (11.993) | 30.25 (12.105) | 29.59 (11.683) | 28.68 (10.143) | 29.58 (12.082) | ||
[1]
Measure Description: EASI is a tool to measure the extent and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the percentage of skin affected, and the severity of eczema (scored as none [0], mild [1], moderate [2], or severe [3]) for redness, thickness, scratching, and lichenification are assessed. The EASI score is the sum of the scores for each region and ranges from 0 to 72, where higher scores represent worse disease.
