ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercentage of Participants Achieving a ≥ 90% Reduction From Baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index Score (EASI 90) and Worst Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale of 0 or 1 (WP-NRS 0/1) at Week 16Baseline and Week 16
The EASI is a composite index with scores ranging from 0 to 72. Four AD disease characteristics (erythema, thickness \[induration, papulation, edema\], scratching \[excoriation\], and lichenification) assessed for severity on a scale of "0" (absent) through "3" (severe). In addition, the area of AD involvement is assessed as a percentage by body area of head, trunk (including the genital area), upper extremities, and lower extremities (including the buttocks), and converted to a score of 0 to 6. In each body region, the area is expressed as 0, 1 (1% to 9%), 2 (10% to 29%), 3 (30% to 49%), 4 (50% to 69%), 5 (70% to 89%), or 6 (90% to 100%). The Worst Pruritus NRS is an assessment tool that participants used to report the intensity of their pruritus during a 24-hour recall period using an electronic hand-held device. Participants rated itch (pruritus) intensity at its worst during the past 24 hours on an 11-point scale from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst imaginable itch).
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Achieving a ≥ 90% Reduction From Baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index Score (EASI 90) at Week 16Baseline and Week 16
The EASI is a composite index with scores ranging from 0 to 72.

SecondaryPercentage of Participants Achieving a Worst Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale of 0 or 1 (WP-NRS 0/1) at Week 16 Among Participants With Baseline WP-NRS > 1Baseline and Week 16
The Worst Pruritus NRS is an assessment tool that participants used to report the intensity of their pruritus during a 24-hour recall period using an electronic hand-held device. Participants rated itch (pruritus) intensity at its worst during the past 24 hours on an 11-point scale from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst imaginable itch).
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Achieving an Improvement (Reduction) in Worst Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (WP-NRS) ≥ 4 at Week 16 Among Those With Baseline WP-NRS ≥ 4Baseline and Week 16
The Worst Pruritus NRS is an assessment tool that participants used to report the intensity of their pruritus during a 24-hour recall period using an electronic hand-held device. Participants rated itch (pruritus) intensity at its worst during the past 24 hours on an 11-point scale from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst imaginable itch).
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Achieving a Worst Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale of 0 or 1 (WP-NRS 0/1) at Week 4 Among Participants With Baseline WP-NRS > 1Baseline and Week 4
The Worst Pruritus NRS is an assessment tool that participants used to report the intensity of their pruritus during a 24-hour recall period using an electronic hand-held device. Participants rated itch (pruritus) intensity at its worst during the past 24 hours on an 11-point scale from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst imaginable itch).
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Achieving a Worst Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale of 0 or 1 (WP-NRS 0/1) at Week 2 Among Participants With Baseline WP-NRS > 1Baseline and Week 2
The Worst Pruritus NRS is an assessment tool that participants used to report the intensity of their pruritus during a 24-hour recall period using an electronic hand-held device. Participants rated itch (pruritus) intensity at its worst during the past 24 hours on an 11-point scale from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst imaginable itch).
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Achieving a ≥ 90% Reduction From Baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index Score (EASI 90) at Week 4Baseline and Week 4
The EASI is a composite index with scores ranging from 0 to 72. Four AD disease characteristics (erythema, thickness \[induration, papulation, edema\], scratching \[excoriation\], and lichenification) assessed for severity on a scale of "0" (absent) through "3" (severe). In addition, the area of AD involvement is assessed as a percentage by body area of head, trunk (including the genital area), upper extremities, and lower extremities (including the buttocks), and converted to a score of 0 to 6.

The EASI is a composite index with scores ranging from 0 to 72.
