ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercentage of Participants With Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Success at Week 16: Intent-To-Treat (ITT) PopulationWeek 16
IGA success was defined as an IGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) and at least a 2-grade improvement from baseline to Week 16. The IGA is a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe) used by the Investigator or trained designee to evaluate the global severity of atopic dermatitis (AD) and the clinical response to treatment. If a participant received any rescue therapy, the data after receipt of rescue therapy was considered treatment failure. Participants with missing data at Week 16 were considered non-responders.
PrimaryPercentage of Participants With Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Success at Week 16: Severe Pruritus PopulationWeek 16
IGA success was defined as an IGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) and at least a 2-grade improvement from baseline to Week 16. The IGA is a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe) used by the Investigator or trained designee to evaluate the global severity of AD and the clinical response to treatment. If a participant received any rescue therapy, the data after receipt of rescue therapy was considered a treatment failure. Participants with missing data at Week 16 were considered non-responders.
PrimaryPercentage of Participants With >=75% Improvement in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-75) at Week 16: ITT PopulationWeek 16
EASI-75 was defined as \>=75 percent(%) improvement in EASI from baseline to Week 16. EASI evaluates severity of participants AD based on severity of AD clinical signs and % of body surface area (BSA) affected. Severity of clinical signs of AD(erythema, induration/papulation, excoriation and lichenification)scored separately for each of 4 body regions (head \& neck, upper limbs, trunk \& lower limbs on 4-point scale: 0= absent; 1= mild; 2= moderate; 3= severe. EASI total score is composite score ranging from 0 to 72. Higher scores represent greater severity of AD. If a participant received any rescue therapy, the data after receipt of rescue therapy was considered a treatment failure. Participants with missing data at Week 16 were considered non-responders.

EASI total score is composite score ranging from 0 to 72. Higher scores represent greater severity of AD. If a participant received any rescue therapy, the data after receipt of rescue therapy was considered a treatment failure. Participants with missing data at Week 16 were considered non-responders.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Improvement of >=4 Points in Weekly Average Peak Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale (PP NRS) at Week 16: ITT PopulationWeek 16
The PP NRS is a scale that was used by the participants to report the intensity of their pruritus (itch) during the last 24 hours on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being 'no itch' and 10 being the 'worst itch imaginable'. Weekly average PP NRS score was calculated using 7 consecutive days diary data and set to missing if less than 4 days data available. If a participant received any rescue therapy, the data after receipt of rescue therapy was considered treatment failure.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Improvement of >=4 Points in Weekly Average Peak Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale (PP NRS) at Week 16: Severe Pruritus PopulationWeek 16
The PP NRS is a scale that was used by the participants to report the intensity of their pruritus (itch) during the last 24 hours on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being 'no itch' and 10 being the 'worst itch imaginable'. Weekly average PP NRS score was calculated using 7 consecutive days diary data and set to missing if less than 4 days data available. If a participant received any rescue therapy, the data after receipt of rescue therapy was considered treatment failure.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With <2 Points in Weekly Average PP NRS at Week 16: ITT PopulationWeek 16
The PP NRS is a scale that was used by the participants to report the intensity of their pruritus (itch) during the last 24 hours on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being 'no itch' and 10 being the 'worst itch imaginable'. Weekly average PP NRS score was calculated using 7 consecutive days diary data and set to missing if less than 4 days data available.

If a participant received any rescue therapy, the data after receipt of rescue therapy was considered treatment failure. Participants with missing data were considered non-responders.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With an Improvement of Sleep Disturbance Numeric Rating Scale (SD NRS) >=4 at Week 16: ITT PopulationWeek 16
The sleep disturbance NRS is a scale used by the participants to report the degree of their sleep loss related to AD. Participants were asked the following question in their local language: how would you rate your sleep last night? On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being 'no sleep loss related to signs/symptoms of AD' and 10 being 'I cannot sleep at all due to the signs/symptoms of AD'. Weekly average SD NRS score was calculated using 7 consecutive days diary data and set to missing if less than 4 days data available. If a participant received any rescue therapy, the data after receipt of rescue therapy was considered treatment failure. Participants with missing data were considered non-responders.
