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:

  • 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.

Title Main Study: Percent Change From Baseline in EASI Score 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; a negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

Title Adolescents: Percentage of Participants Achieving an EASI 90 Response at Week 4
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 90 response is defined as at least a 90% reduction (improvement) from Baseline in EASI score.

Title Adolescents: Percentage of Participants Achieving an EASI 100 Response at Week 16
Hide Description

EASI is used 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 area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. and the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored from 0 [none], to 3 [severe]) for redness, thickness, scratching, and lichenification.

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 100 response is defined as a 100% reduction (improvement) from Baseline in EASI score.

The percentage of participants with an EASI 100 response at Week 16 was pre-specified as a secondary endpoint for participants in the Upadacitinib 30 mg + TCS group versus Placebo + TCS group only.
