Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryThe Percentage of Subjects Who Achieve Disease Control Without Rescue TherapyBaseline to up to 3 weeks (until disease control)Disease control is defined as ≤ 3 new blisters/eczematous lesions/urticarial plaques/day and healing of existing blisters/eczematous lesions/urticarial plaques without requiring rescue therapy.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With TEAEs, Assessed by Seriousness and SeverityBaseline to 5 weeksTreatment-emergent AEs summarized by MedDRA coding terms; separate tabulations produced for incidence, seriousness and severity of AEs
SecondaryTime to Disease ControlBaseline to up to 3 weeks (until disease control)Time to disease control by treatment day/week. The time to disease control is calculated as the date of disease control minus Date of Visit 2 (Baseline (Day 1)) plus 1.
SecondaryTime to Rescue Therapy
Baseline to up to 3 weeks (EOT). EOT occurs at disease control (assessed every day from Week 1/Day 7 up to Week 3/Day 21 +/- 2 days) or at Week 3/Day 21 +/- 2 days when the subject is discontinued from treatment due to not reaching disease control.
Time to rescue therapy by treatment day/week. The time to rescue therapy is calculated as the start date of the first rescue therapy minus Date of Visit 2 (Baseline (Day 1)) plus 1.
SecondaryThe Bullous Pemphigoid Disease Area Index (BPDAI) Score
Baseline to up to 3 weeks (EOT). EOT occurs at disease control (assessed every day from Week 1/Day 7 up to Week 3/Day 21 +/- 2 days) or at Week 3/Day 21 +/- 2 days when the subject is discontinued from treatment due to not reaching disease control.
Change from baseline in BPDAI score at End of Treatment (EOT). Subscales for the BPDAI include the skin blister score (range 0-120), skin urticarial score (range 0-120), mucosal activity score (range 0-120), and damage score (range 0-12). Higher scores indicate greater disease activity or damage.
SecondaryThe Bullous Pemphigoid Disease Area Index Visual Analog Scale (BPDAI-VAS)
Baseline to up to 3 weeks (EOT). EOT occurs at disease control (assessed every day from Week 1/Day 7 up to Week 3/Day 21 +/- 2 days) or at Week 3/Day 21 +/- 2 days when the subject is discontinued from treatment due to not reaching disease control.
Change from baseline in pruritus as evaluated by the BPDAI-VAS at End of Treatment (EOT). EOT occurs at disease control (up to 3 weeks) or at Week 3 when the subject is discontinued from treatment due to not reaching disease control. Scores for the BPDAI-VAS can range from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating a worse condition.
SecondaryTotal Cumulative Steroid Exposure
Baseline to up to 3 weeks (EOT). EOT occurs at disease control (assessed every day from Week 1/Day 7 up to Week 3/Day 21 +/- 2 days) or at Week 3/Day 21 +/- 2 days when the subject is discontinued from treatment due to not reaching disease control.
Total cumulative steroid exposure (cortisol equivalent/kg) by treatment group
SecondaryMaximum Daily Steroid Dose
Baseline to up to 3 weeks (EOT). EOT occurs at disease control (assessed every day from Week 1/Day 7 up to Week 3/Day 21 +/- 2 days) or at Week 3/Day 21 +/- 2 days when the subject is discontinued from treatment due to not reaching disease control.
Evaluation of maximum daily steroid dose at baseline, by treatment week, and at disease control. Study Day 1 is defined as the initiation of study treatment. 1 mg/kg prednisolon(e) = 5 mg/kg cortisone.

Total cumulative steroid exposure is calculated based on oral route treatment from Day 1 to EOT/disease control. Subjects with no oral route treatment were excluded from analysis.mg cortisol equivalent/kgMEAN

The analysis population includes subjects who received systemic steroids. In the AKST4290 group, 3 subjects received systemic steroids. In the Placebo group, the single subject did not have systemic steroid exposure.
