ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercentage of IGA Responders at Week 16Week 16
Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score is used to determine the severity of atopic dermatitis symptoms and clinical response to treatment. It reflects a subject's overall disease severity for the whole body. The scale includes 0 = clear, 1 = almost clear, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate and 4 = severe. It is a static scale and does not refer to previous status of the subject. IGA response is defined as achievement of an IGA score of 0 or 1 with a 2-point reduction from baseline without use of confounding therapy (e.g. rescue medication) up to the assessment time point. Treatment discontinuations for lack of efficacy or adverse event are considered non-responders. Percentage of responders was calculated based on a logistic regression model with response as outcome variable and treatment (dose as categorical variable) and baseline IGA as covariates.
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in EASI Score at Week 16Baseline, Week 16Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) is used to assess the extend and severity of atopic dermatitis on a scale from 0 to 72 where 72 is worst eczema.
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in EASI Score Over TimeBaseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 6, Week 8, Week 12Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) is used to assess the extend and severity of atopic dermatitis on a scale from 0 to 72 where 72 is worst eczema.
SecondaryPercentage of EASI50 Responders Over TimeWeek 2, Week 4, Week 6, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16
Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) is used to assess the extend and severity of atopic dermatitis on a scale from 0 to 72 where 72 is worst eczema. EASI50 response is defined as achieving ≥ 50% improvement (reduction) in EASI score compared to baseline without use of confounding therapy (e.g. rescue medication) up to the assessment time point. Treatment discontinuations for lack of efficacy or adverse event are considered non-responders. Percentage of responders was calculated based on a logistic regression model with response as outcome variable and treatment (dose as categorical variable) and baseline EASI as covariates
SecondaryPercentage of EASI75 Responders Over TimeWeek 2, Week 4, Week 6, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16
Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) is used to assess the extend and severity of atopic dermatitis on a scale from 0 to 72 where 72 is worst eczema. EASI75 response is defined as achieving ≥ 75% improvement (reduction) in EASI score compared to baseline without use of confounding therapy (e.g. rescue medication) up to the assessment time point. Treatment discontinuations for lack of efficacy or adverse event are considered non-responders. Percentage of responders was calculated based on a logistic regression model with response as outcome variable and treatment (dose as categorical variable) and baseline EASI as covariates
SecondaryPercentage of IGA Responders Over TimeWeek 2, Week 4, Week 6, Week 8, Week 12
Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score is used to determine the severity of atopic dermatitis symptoms and clinical response to treatment. It reflects a subject's overall disease severity for the whole body. The scale includes 0 = clear, 1 = almost clear, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate and 4 = severe. It is a static scale and does not refer to previous status of the subject. IGA response is defined as achievement of an IGA score of 0 or 1 with a 2-point reduction from baseline without use of confounding therapy (e.g. rescue medication) up to the assessment time point. Treatment discontinuations for lack of efficacy or adverse event are considered non-responders. Percentage of responders was calculated based on a logistic regression model with response as outcome variable and treatment (dose as categorical variable) and baseline IGA as covariates.
SecondaryNumber of Patients With Adverse EventsUp to week 20
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence (e.g., any unfavorable and unintended sign \[including abnormal laboratory findings\], symptom or disease) in a subject or clinical investigation subject after providing written informed consent for participation in the study until the end of study visit. Therefore, an AE may or may not be temporally or causally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product.
