Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Percentage of participants who have a validated Investigator Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD) score of clear or almost clear (0 or 1) and a minimum 2-grade Improvement from Baseline to Week 8
The vIGA-AD is a global assessment of the current state of the disease. It is a static 5-point scale used to grade overall disease severity (scalp excluded), as determined by the investigator, using the clinical characteristics of erythema, induration/papulation, lichenification, oozing/crusting. The vIGA-AD ranges from 0 to 4 and is reported as Clear (0), Almost clear (1), Mild (2), Moderate (3), and Severe (4). Higher vIGA-AD scores represent more severe disease.
Baseline to last planned visit in the Double-Blind Period, up to 8 weeks.
Percentage of participants who enter with or achieve have a validated Investigator Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD) score of clear or almost clear (0 or 1) and a minimum 2-grade Improvement at least once during the Open-Label Period
The vIGA-AD is a clinical tool for assessing the current state/severity of a subject's atopic dermatitis at a given timepoint.. It is a static 5-point scale used to grade overall disease severity (scalp excluded), as determined by the investigator, using the clinical characteristics of erythema, induration/papulation, lichenification, oozing/crusting. The vIGA-AD ranges from 0 to 4 and is reported as Clear (0), Almost clear (1), Mild (2), Moderate (3), and Severe (4). Higher vIGA-AD scores represent more severe disease.
Baseline to the end of the Open-Label Period, up to 56 weeks.
Secondary Outcomes (11)
Percentage of participants with ≥ 75% improvement in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Score from Baseline to Week 8.
Baseline to last planned visit in the Double-Blind Period, up to 8 weeks.
Mean change in percentage of total body surface area (%BSA) affected from Baseline to Week 8
Baseline to last planned visit in the Double-Blind Period, up to 8 weeks.
Percentage of participants with ≥ 90% improvement in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score from Baseline to Week 8
Baseline to last planned visit in the Double-Blind Period, up to 8 weeks.
Number of participants with one or more Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
