Title Change From Baseline to Week 16 in Percent Body Surface Area (BSA)
Hide Description The BSA affected by AD will be assessed for 4 separate body regions: head and neck, trunk (including genital region), upper extremities, and lower extremities (including the buttocks). Each body region will be assessed for disease extent ranging from 0% to 100% involvement. BSA was calculated using the participant's palm using the 1% rule, 1 palm was equivalent to 1% with estimates of the number of palms it takes to cover the affected AD area. Maximum number of palms were 10 palms for head and neck (10%), 20 palms for upper extremities (20%), 30 palms for trunk, including axilla and groin (30%), 40 palms for lower extremities, including buttocks (40%). Percent of BSA for a body region was calculated as = total number of palms in a body region * % surface area equivalent to 1 palm. Overall percent BSA of all 4 body regions ranges from 0% to 100 % with higher values representing greater severity of AD.

Hide Description

Sleep Loss due to interference of itch will be assessed by the participant. Participants rate their interference of itch on sleep based on a 5-point Likert scale [0 (not at all) to 4 (unable to sleep at all)]. Higher scores indicated a greater impact and worse outcome. Assessments will be recorded daily by the participant using an electronic diary. LS Mean was calculated using ANCOVA model with treatment, baseline value, and stratification factors of geographic region, age group, baseline IGA (3 versus 4) score as fixed factors.

Title Change From Baseline in Sleep-loss Score at Week 16
Hide Description

Sleep Loss due to interference of itch will be assessed by the participant. Participants rate their interference of itch on sleep based on a 5-point Likert scale [0 (not at all) to 4 (unable to sleep at all)]. Higher scores indicated a greater impact and worse outcome. Assessments will be recorded daily by the participant using an electronic diary. LS Mean was calculated using ANCOVA model with treatment, baseline value, and stratification factors of geographic region, age group, baseline IGA (3 versus 4) score as fixed factors.

APD: All randomized participants, even if the participant does not take the assigned treatment, does not receive the correct treatment, or otherwise does not follow the protocol.

Title Percent Change in SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) From Baseline to Week 16
Hide Description

The SCORAD index uses the rule of nines to assess disease extent and evaluates 6 clinical characteristics to determine disease severity: (1) erythema, (2) edema/papulation, (3) oozing/crusts, (4) excoriation, (5) lichenification, and (6) dryness on a scale of 0 to 3 (0=absence, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe). The SCORAD index also assesses subjective symptoms of pruritus and sleep loss with VAS where 0 is no itching or no trouble sleeping and 10 is unbearable itching or a lot of trouble sleeping. These 3 aspects: extent of disease (A: 0-1-2), disease severity (B: 0-18), & subjective symptoms (C: 0-20) combine using A/5 + 7*B/2+ C to give a maximum possible score of 103, where 0 = no disease and 103 = severe disease.

The 10 questions cover the following topics: symptoms, embarrassment, shopping and home care, clothes, social and leisure, sport, work or study, close relationships, sex, and treatment, over the previous week. Response categories include "Not at all," "A little," "A lot," and "Very much," with corresponding scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Questions 3-10 also have an additional response category of "Not relevant" which is scored as "0". Questions are scored from 0 to 3, giving a possible total score range from 0 (no impact of skin disease on quality of life) to 30 (maximum impact on quality of life). A high score is indicative of a poor quality of life.

Title Change From Baseline in Patient Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) at Week 16
Hide Description POEM is a 7-item, validated, questionnaire used by the participant to assess disease symptoms over the last week. The participant is asked to respond to 7 questions on skin dryness, itching, flaking, cracking, sleep loss, bleeding and weeping. All 7 answers carry equal weight with a total possible score from 0 to 28 (answers scored as: No days=0; 1- 2 days = 1; 3-4 days = 2; 5-6 days = 3; everyday = 4). A high score is indicative of a poor quality of life. POEM responses will be captured using an electronic diary and transferred into the clinical database. LS Mean was calculated using MMRM model using treatment, baseline value, visit, the interaction of the baseline value-by-visit, the interaction of treatment by-visit as covariates, geographic region, age group, baseline IGA (3 versus 4) score as fixed.

Indicates events were collected by systematic assessment

One investigational site with seventeen participants was excluded from analysis due to GCP issues.

Because of an error in the electronic data collection tool, the actual maximum score for each of the SCORAD symptoms was 9 instead of 10, resulting in a total maximum SCORAD score of 101 instead of 103. During the study, discussions with the SCORAD copyright owner resulted in a decision not to adjust the scale used or notify investigators as the altered scale was not expected to bias the results.
