Recruitment Details

Participants were enrolled at 151 study sites in 24 countries across Europe, North and South America, Oceania, and the Asia-Pacific region.

The study included a 16-week double-blind treatment period followed by an ongoing blinded extension period.

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 AD based on lesion appearance on the following scale:

  • 0-Clear: No inflammatory signs of AD;
  • 1-Almost clear: Barely perceptible erythema, induration/papulation and/or lichenification;
  • 2-Mild: Slight but definite erythema, induration/papulation and/or lichenification. No oozing or crusting;
  • 3-Moderate: Clearly perceptible erythema, induration/papulation and/or lichenification, oozing or crusting may be present;
  • 4-Severe: Marked erythema, induration/papulation and/or lichenification, oozing or crusting may be present.

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.

Title Main Study: Percentage of Participants Achieving at Least a 75% Reduction in Eczema Area and Severity Index Score (EASI 75) From Baseline at Week 16
Hide Description

EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none [0], mild [1], moderate [2], or severe [3]) for redness (erythema, inflammation), thickness (induration, papulation, swelling - acute eczema), scratching (excoriation), and lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules - chronic eczema).

The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease.

Title Main Study: Percentage of Participants Achieving a 90% Reduction From Baseline in EASI Score (EASI 90) at Week 16
Hide Description

EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none [0], mild [1], moderate [2], or severe [3]) for redness (erythema, inflammation), thickness (induration, papulation, swelling - acute eczema), scratching (excoriation), and lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules - chronic eczema).

The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease.

Hide Description

The ADerm-IS is a 10-item patient reported outcome (PRO) questionnaire designed to assess a variety of impacts that participants experience from their AD.

The ADerm-IS sleep domain consists of 3 questions designed to assess the impact of AD on sleep on a daily basis over a 24-hour recall period. The items include difficulty falling asleep, impact on sleep, and waking at night. Each question is scored on an 11-point NRS from 0 (no impact) to 10 (extreme impact). The ADerm-IS sleep domain score is the sum of the 3 item scores and ranges from 0 (no impact) to 30 (worst impact). The ADerm-IS sleep domain was analyzed based on weekly rolling averages of daily scores.

The minimal clinically important difference for ADerm-IS sleep domain score is 12.

Title Main Study: Percentage of Participants Achieving a 100% Reduction From Baseline in EASI Score (EASI 100) at Week 16
Hide Description

EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none [0], mild [1], moderate [2], or severe [3]) for redness (erythema, inflammation), thickness (induration, papulation, swelling - acute eczema), scratching (excoriation), and lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules - chronic eczema).

The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease.

Subjective items (C) include daily pruritus and sleeplessness, each scored on a visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 to 10 (total score 0-20). SCORAD is calculated as A/5 + 7B/2 + C, and ranges from 0 to 103 (worst). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

Title Main Study: Percentage of Participants Achieving a DLQI Score of 0 or 1 at Week 16
Hide Description

The DLQI is a 10-item validated questionnaire used to assess the impact of AD disease symptoms and treatment on quality of life (QoL). It consists of 10 questions evaluating impact of skin diseases on different aspects of a participant's QoL over the prior week, including symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work or school, personal relationships, and the side effects of treatment. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale (0 = not at all/not relevant; 1 = a little; 2 = a lot; and 3 = very much).

Item scores are added to provide a total score, ranging from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater impairment of QoL. A score of 0 or 1 means that the disease has no effect at all.

the DLQI was administered to participants who were ≥ 16 (16 to 75) years old at the time of the Screening visit.

Title Adolescents: Percentage of Participants Achieving an EASI 75 Response at Week 16
Hide Description

EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none [0], mild [1], moderate [2], or severe [3]) for redness (erythema, inflammation), thickness (induration, papulation, swelling - acute eczema), scratching (excoriation), and lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules - chronic eczema).

The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease.

An EASI 75 response is defined as at least a 75% reduction (improvement) from Baseline in EASI score.

Title Adolescents: Percentage of Participants Achieving a Reduction of ≥ 12 Points From Baseline in ADerm-IS Sleep Domain Score at Week 16
Hide Description

The ADerm-IS is a 10-item patient reported outcome questionnaire designed to assess a variety of impacts that participants experience from their AD.

The ADerm-IS sleep domain consists of 3 questions designed to assess the impact of AD on sleep on a daily basis over a 24-hour recall period. The items include difficulty falling asleep, impact on sleep, and waking at night. Each question is scored on an 11-point NRS from 0 (no impact) to 10 (extreme impact). The ADerm-IS sleep domain score is the sum of the 3 item scores and ranges from 0 (no impact) to 30 (worst impact). The ADerm-IS sleep domain was analyzed based on weekly rolling averages of daily scores.

The minimal clinically important difference for ADerm-IS sleep domain score is 12.
