Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Ustekinumab (STELARA®) in Adult Japanese Participants With Severe Atopic Dermatitis (NCT NCT01945086)

NCT ID: NCT01945086

Last Updated: 2016-03-09

Results Overview

The EASI score was used to measure the severity and extent of atopic dermatitis (AD) and measures erythema (E), infiltration (I), excoriation (Ex) and lichenification (L) on a scale of 0 (none) to 3 (severe) on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs. Degree of involvement on each of the 4 anatomic regions is scored on a scale of 0 (no eruption) to 6 (greater than \[\>\] 90 percent \[%\]-100% eruption). The total score is the sum of the four body-region scores, maximum=72, minimum=0, with higher scores reflecting greater disease severity. The total qualitative score is multiplied by the degree of involvement for each anatomic region and then multiplied by a constant and summed to yield the EASI score.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS) included all randomized participants with at least 1 study agent administration irrespective of whether the participant received the assigned treatment, and had at least 1 postdose EASI assessment. Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method was used to impute the missing data.

The EASI score was used to measure the severity and extent of atopic dermatitis (AD) and measures erythema (E), infiltration (I), excoriation (Ex) and lichenification (L) on a scale of 0 (none) to 3 (severe) on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs. Degree of involvement on each of the 4 anatomic regions is scored on a scale of 0 (no eruption) to 6 (greater than \[\>\] 90 percent \[%\]-100% eruption). The total score is the sum of the four body-region scores, maximum=72, minimum=0, with higher scores reflecting greater disease severity. The total qualitative score is multiplied by the degree of involvement for each anatomic region and then multiplied by a constant and summed to yield the EASI score.

Timeframe: Week 12

Population: FAS included all randomized participants with at least 1 study agent administration irrespective of whether the participant received the assigned treatment, and had at least 1 postdose EASI assessment. LOCF method was used to impute the missing data.

The IGA utilizes a 6-point scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 5 (very severe disease) where 0 = clear, 1 = almost clear, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, 4 = severe and 5 (very severe disease).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Population: FAS population was used for analysis. LOCF method was used to impute the missing data. 'N' (Number of Participants Analyzed) signifies number of participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure. 'n' signifies number of participants who were evaluable at each specific time point for each arm respectively.

The atopic dermatitis itch scale (ADIS) will be used to assess pruritus (itching) among participants with AD. It will be evaluated by participant diary kept twice daily,in the morning(morning daily score\[MDS\]) and evening (Evening Daily Score\[EDS\]). The start-of-day item set consists of 4 items:itching at time of completing morning diary(Q1),presence of itching during night before(Q2), itching at its worst at night (Q3), and impact of itching on sleep at night(Q4). Appropriate items are summed to yield total score ranging from 0=minimum to 23=maximum, with higher scores reflecting greater itching. The end-of day item set also consists of 4 items: itching at time of completing the evening diary(Q1),the presence of itching during the day(Q2),itching at its worst during the day(Q3),and amount of time the participant experienced eczema-related itching(Q4). Appropriate items are summed to yield total score ranging from 0=minimum to 24=maximum,with higher scores reflecting greater itching.

The DLQI is a dermatology-specific quality of life (QOL) instrument designed to assess impact of disease on a participants QOL. It is a 10-item questionnaire that, in addition to evaluating overall, QOL can be used to assess 6 different aspects: symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work or school performance, personal relationships and treatment. Questions scored on a 4-point Likert scale: 0 (not relevant), 1 (a little), 2 (a lot), and 3 (very much). Scores of individual items (0-3) were added to yield a total score (0-30); higher score = greater impairment of participants QOL.

Population: FAS population was used for analysis. 'N' (Number of Participants Analyzed) signifies number of participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure. 'n' signifies number of participants who were evaluable at each specific time point for each arm respectively.

The EASI score was used to measure the severity and extent of AD and measures erythema (E), infiltration (I), excoriation (Ex) and lichenification (L) on a scale of 0 (none) to 3 (severe) on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs. Degree of involvement on each of the 4 anatomic regions is scored on a scale of 0 (no eruption) to 6 (greater than \[\>\] 90%-100% eruption). The total score is the sum of the four body-region scores, maximum=72, minimum=0, with higher scores reflecting greater disease severity. The total qualitative score is multiplied by the degree of involvement for each anatomic region and then multiplied by a constant and summed to yield the EASI score.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24

Population: FAS population was used for analysis. 'N' (Number of Participants Analyzed) signifies number of participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure. 'n' signifies number of participants who were evaluable at each specific time point for each arm respectively. LOCF method was not applied to impute the missing data.

The EASI score was used to measure the severity and extent of AD and measures erythema (E), infiltration (I), excoriation (Ex) and lichenification (L) on a scale of 0 (none) to 3 (severe) on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs. Degree of involvement on each of the 4 anatomic regions is scored on a scale of 0 (no eruption) to 6 (greater than \[\>\] 90%-100% eruption). The total score is the sum of the four body-region scores, maximum=72, minimum=0, with higher scores reflecting greater disease severity. The total qualitative score is multiplied by the degree of involvement for each anatomic region and then multiplied by a constant and summed to yield the EASI score.

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24

Population: FAS population was used for analysis. 'N' (Number of Participants Analyzed) signifies number of participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure. 'n' signifies number of participants who were evaluable at each specific time point for each arm respectively.

The EASI score was used to measure the severity and extent of AD and measures erythema (E), infiltration (I), excoriation (Ex) and lichenification (L) on a scale of 0 to 3 where 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs. Degree of involvement on each of the 4 anatomic regions is scored on a scale of 0 (no eruption) to 6 (greater than \[\>\] 90%-100% eruption). The total score is the sum of the four body-region scores, maximum=72, minimum=0, with higher scores reflecting greater disease severity. The total qualitative score is multiplied by the degree of involvement for each anatomic region and then multiplied by a constant and summed to yield the EASI score.
